10. depends

Judaism the religion or Judaism the culture - ie how d'you feel about atheist Jews (personally I think it's a contradiction in terms but the rest of the world seems to accept "Jewish" as an ethnic/cultural designation as well as a religious one) and can they be Jews who consider Zionism antithetical to Judaism?

[JohnLocke]

13. So, what took so long?

Interested? Of course I'm interested!

Oy vey, you feel the need that you should ask such questions?

[asthmaticeog]

14. I'd pop in on that once in awhile if...

...the group was inclusive of secular/nonreligious Jews AND if Israel/Palestine issues were confined to the existing I/P forum/perpetual flamewar.

I'm not Jewish but I have been a longtime student of Jewish religion and culture.
