    No Jews are not a race. We are an ethnicity. Being an anomaly we need to realise that we don't fit into the stereotype of race but share a culture. The money taunt is just crude hatred.

  • Claire Khaw Be careful of WHAT?

    Jews are a race. The law says so. You people have it both ways.

    Is saying "you people" racist? Are you going to report me to Facebook now? You be careful too, of inciting hatred against Jews by carrying on the way you do. 

    'There has been a legal ruling that Sikhs are included in the definition of a racial group (Mandla v Dowell-Lee [1983] 2 AC 548). In the Mandla case, reference is made to the judgment in King-Ansell v Police [1979] 2 NZLR 531 as being a persuasive authority for Jews being included in the definition of a racial group as well as a religious group. Although not criminal cases, further support for this proposition can be found in the cases of R v JFS [2009] UKSC 15 which related to the legality of the admission policy of a Jewish secondary school and Seide v Gillette Industries Ltd [1980] IRLR 427 in which an Employment Appeal Tribunal ruled that anti-semitic comments made by a fellow-worker were made because he was a member of the Jewish race, not because of his religion.

    "A religious group means a group of persons defined by reference to religious belief or lack of religious belief. This includes Muslims, Hindus and Christians, and different sects within a religion." It also includes people who do not hold any religious beliefs at all.'
