Jews are an odd outlier as it's both an ethnicity and a religion and one doesn't automatically indicate the other. You can have people with no ethnic link who are Jewish by dint of conversation to the religon, and ethnicly Jewish people who are entirely athiest. anti-Semitism is about racism against ethnicly Jewish people, not criticism of the religion.

You also missed the entire point of my comment, but keep going. Very enlightening.

If you don't understand why this refutes your comment, then you just need to keep re-reading it.

Or maybe you (and others here) need to re-read my response to understand what the point of it was. I understand what the person was saying, just don’t think bickering over how the Jewish people are a “multinational ethnic group” is relevant to the discussion.

I'm not claiming that anyone missed a point because I understand what is being argued.
