The Jewish people have not elected a single person to be their "spokesperson," and if they did, you are certainly not it. However you are not only claiming this position with your three attempts to speak for all Jews on this thread, but you are also claiming power to strip someone's Jewish identity on the basis of whether they agree with you or not.

No one appointed you "Jewish spokesperson."
Certainly no one invested you with the power to "de-jew" people at your whim.

I am educated enough to know that both of these habits you show are very indicative of base and ugly bigotry against the group in question.

Go read post #22 - the last line of it applies to you too.
