Coo Coo for CoCoa Puffs.
Come on people. Why do keep feeding the "Con-Troll"? There's a reason he spells it that way.
Ignore is a wonderful feature especially when the person put on Ignore has nothing to add to any discussion.
Oh you must still be angry with the MORANs!!!
anti-semitism??
You do know Jews today are not Semitic.
Muslims however are..
True Jews were annihilated long ago, when they lost Israel.
European Jews and their descendants are the result of European people CONVERTING. Prior to that they had no Jewish blood.
They are Jewish in name and practice but have no real connection with true Israelite's of old.
What hero? Zimmerman is an hispanic registered democrat. As far as I'm concerned this is a democratic party special interest group fragging incident.
Genetic studies
Main article: Genetic studies on Jews]Male lineages: Y chromosomal DNA
See also: Y-chromosomal Aaron, Genealogical DNA test, and Matrilineality
Genetic studies indicate various lineages found in modern Jewish populations; however, most of these populations share a lineage in common, traceable to an ancient population that underwent geographic branching and subsequent independent evolutions.[41] While DNA tests have demonstrated inter-marriage in all of the various Jewish ethnic divisions over the last 3,000 years, it was substantially less than in other populations.[42] The findings lend support to traditional Jewish accounts accrediting their founding to exiled Israelite populations, and counters theories that many or most of the world's Jewish populations were founded entirely by local populations that adopted the Jewish religion, devoid of any actual Israelite genetic input.[42]DNA analysis further determined that modern Jews of the priesthood tribe—"Kohanim"—share an ancestor dating back about 3,000 years.[43] This result is consistent for all Jewish populations around the world.[43] The researchers estimated that the most recent common ancestor of modern Kohanim lived between 1000 BCE (roughly the time of the Biblical Exodus) and 586 BCE, when the Babylonians destroyed the First Temple.[44] They found similar results analyzing DNA from Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews.[44] The scientists estimated the date of the original priest based on genetic mutations, which indicated that the priest lived roughly 106 generations ago, between 2,650 and 3,180 years ago depending whether one counts a generation as 25 or 30 years.[44] These Jews belong to the haplotypes J1e and J2a. However, more recent research has shown that many ethnic groups in the Middle East and Mediterranean area also share this genetic profile.[45]Although individual and groups of converts to Judaism have historically been absorbed into contemporary Jewish populations, it is unlikely that they formed a large percentage of the ancestors of modern Jewish groups, and much less that they represented their genesis as Jewish communities.[41][46]Biologist Robert Pollack stated in 2003 that one cannot determine the biological "Jewishness" of an individual because "there are no DNA sequences common to all Jews and absent from all non-Jews".[47] A 2009 study was able to genetically identify individuals with full or partial Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.[48]
A study published by the National Academy of Sciences found that "the paternal gene pools of Jewish communities from Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East descended from a common Middle Eastern ancestral population", and suggested that "most Jewish communities have remained relatively isolated from neighboring non-Jewish communities during and after the Diaspora".[41] Researchers expressed surprise at the remarkable genetic uniformity they found among modern Jews, no matter where the diaspora has become dispersed around the world.[41]
Other Y-chromosome findings show that the world's Jewish communities are closely related to Kurds, Syrians and Palestinians.[43][49] Skorecki and colleague wrote that "the extremely close affinity of Jewish and non-Jewish Middle Eastern populations observed ... supports the hypothesis of a common Middle Eastern origin".[43] According to another study of the same year, more than 70% of Jewish men and half of the Arab men (inhabitants of Israel and the territories only) whose DNA was studied inherited their Y-chromosomes from the same paternal ancestors who lived in the region within the last few thousand years. The results are consistent with the Biblical account of Jews and Arabs having a common ancestor. About two-thirds of Israeli Arabs and Arabs in the territories and a similar proportion of Israeli Jews are the descendants of at least three common ancestors who lived in the Middle East in the Neolithic period. However, the Palestinian Arab clade includes two Arab modal haplotypes which are found at only very low frequency among Jews, reflecting divergence and/or large scale admixture from non-local populations to the Palestinians.[50]
A study of haplotypes of the Y-chromosome, published in 2000, addressed the paternal origins of Ashkenazi Jews. Hammer et al.[41] found that the Y chromosome of some Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews contained mutations that are also common among Middle Eastern peoples, but uncommon in the general European population. This suggested that the male ancestors of the Ashkenazi Jews could be traced mostly to the Middle East. The proportion of male genetic admixture in Ashkenazi Jews amounts to less than 0.5% per generation over an estimated 80 generations, with "relatively minor contribution of European Y chromosomes to the Ashkenazim," and a total admixture estimate "very similar to Motulsky's average estimate of 12.5%." This supported the finding that "Diaspora Jews from Europe, Northwest Africa, and the Near East resemble each other more closely than they resemble their non-Jewish neighbors." However, when all haplotypes were included in the analysis, m (the admixture percentage) increased to 23% ± 7%. In addition, of the Jewish populations in this cluster, the Ashkenazim were closest to South European populations, specifically the Greeks.[41]

Zimmerman is half jewish and half peruvian. He claims to be hispanic. He's also a registered democrat.

Zimmerman is half-Peruvian and half-Jewish, but the way he has been framed in the media is based purely on his looks, (the New York Times referred to him as a “white Hispanic”). This raises the question as to why Griffin, Drake, and Kris Humphries aren’t referred to more often as “white African-Americans.”
Maybe the most common thing you will hear around Iowa City when people are talking about the case of Trayvon Martin is “why doesn’t Zimmerman just turn himself in?” And the question you’ve got to ask about that is, “why?” Zimmerman hasn’t been charged with anything, and the phrasing of the question makes it seem as if he’s fleeing from authority.
The only reason George Zimmerman isn’t in his house is because the President of the New Black Panther Party is offering a $10,000 reward for anyone who catches him. George Zimmerman isn’t in his house because people like Spike Lee and Rosanne Barr are trying to tweet his address but Spike Lee didn’t have the right address, and instead sent his 240,000+ followers to a retired couples home. Rosanne then retweeted the same incorrect address as Lee to her 110,000+ followers).The way this story has been framed is that this racist white guy chased down and murdered this poor black child. Yeah, Martin was African-American and he was a 6’3, seventeen year-old minor. No, Zimmerman is not a white guy and by all accounts he is not racist (based on his free tutoring of underprivileged children of every color, but there’s no real way to disprove racism). And yeah, everyone knows that Zimmerman pulled the trigger that ended Martin’s life, but the circumstances of events leading up to this are still unknown to the public.
Like many other high profile cases, the assumption “innocent until proven guilty” for the accussed is thrown out the door by the public and the media.......
The jews claim to be an ethnicity. I agree. Shouldn't you "know" this?
source
The Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים ISO 259-3 Yhudim Israeli pronunciation [jehuˈdim]), also known as the Jewish people, are a nation and an ethnoreligious group, originating in the Israelites or Hebrews of the Ancient Near East. The Jewish ethnicity, nationality, and religion are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the traditional faith of the Jewish nation.[2][3][4] Converts to Judaism, whose status as Jews within the Jewish ethnos is equal to those born into it, have been absorbed into the Jewish people throughout the millennia.
In Jewish tradition, Jewish ancestry is traced to the Biblical patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the second millennium BCE. The modern State of Israel defines itself as a Jewish state in its Basic Laws, and Israel's Law of Return states: "Every Jew has the right to come to this country as an oleh."[5] Israel is the only country where Jews are a majority of the population. Jews achieved political autonomy twice before in ancient history. The first of these periods lasted from 1350[6] to 586 BCE, and encompassed the periods of the Judges, the United Monarchy, and the Divided Monarchy of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, ending with the destruction of the First Temple. The second was the period of the Hasmonean Kingdom spanning from 140 to 37 BCE. Since the destruction of the First Temple, most Jews have lived in diaspora.[7] A minority in every country in which they live (except Israel), they have frequently experienced persecution throughout history, resulting in a population that has fluctuated both in numbers and distribution over the centuries.
