The religion is what creates the ethnicity. Without religious doctrines, jews have no culture, no language, no tradition, no history, and not even a genetic ingroup. They are explicitly a religion.
As for genetic testing, there is no genetic test for jewish lineage, because that's not how the Right Of Return works in the first place. The Israelis have been arguing about that test for decades specifically because if you go by genetic standards, most European and damn near all American Jews wouldn't count because they fundamentally aren't semetic. Jews are a religion, Semites are an actual demographic.
That's why the Leftist American and European jews have been doing everything in their power to specify that the Right Of Return doesn't include genetic testing, or even basic-bitch religious conversion standards. Genetic testing doesn't mean anything, when the Right Of Return is "pluralist" and Leftist jews do Leftist shit: like re-define the definition of "jew" to be entirely irreligious, or claim that "rabbi" doesn't need approval or certification.
Not only are tons of jews white. If they pushed for genetic testing, they wouldn't be considered genetically jewish by your own standards.
Just the facts ok: All groups of Jews have a genetic thread between them and are identifiable. Sure, Ashkenazi are different from Mizrahi. There are different tribes. You can tell them apart, and you can tell all of them from non-Jews. Ashkenazi would only not qualify for Right of Return if Israel chose to disqualify them, which since they are a foundational population of Israel would be ridiculous.
no.
There are white muslims, there are white buddhists, there are white jews.
jew is both an ethnicity and an religion. Don't be disingenuous.
The israelis have a dna test that a prospective citizen needs to pass to gain entry. Jewishness is literally genetic.
