No offence but sorry I dont recognise being Jewish as a Nationality unless they are from Isreal. but then again. they would be Isreali.

Thats like claiming Catholic is a nationality, Or better yet and probably more accurate, Gypsy

Seems the best arguement that link could come up with for Jews being a nationality is "Because it just is."
LOL That arguement Just doesnt hold water.

A guy from Yorkshire's wife dies.

He goes to the local tombstone maker to get a stone for his wife's grave.  Pondering what he should have written on it he finally decides to have, "Here lies my wife.  She was thine."

He tells this to the owner of the establishment.

A few days later he returns to collect the gravestone.

On it is written: "Here lies my wife.  She was thin."

A tad irritated he goes to the owner who did the inscription.  "Lookie here lad, you forgot the "e"."

"Not to worry, I'll fix it" the man says.

The next day the widower arrives back at the gravestone place.

The man proudly displays the revised gravestone which read:

"Here lies my wife.  Eeeee she was thin."

;)

Judaism is a lot of things depending on what kind of a jew you are.
If you think that it is a nationality then you support Zionism - Those jews are in Israel, for those abroad it is not a nationality.

well nationality is related to my passsport... at least overhere.
If you say, that you are British everybody will expect, that you have british passport and citizenship, however they will not expect, that you did born in UK.

hehe i would say, that they dont even know the diference themself...
Last time that i meet  3 "Jews" it was in China and they claimed to be "french Jews" ... umm ... soo... well :D

i guess that "Jewdaism" was some sort of typo right ?
Or some special ultra ubber emrekan-english expresion ?

Curval. :D

Born and live in Sheffield. If there is a god, I think this would be his country.

Swoop - the flag isn't quite as good as yours, true. It's a concept one for the United Pit Villages of Yorkshire ;).

What kind of American are you Cav?  Are you a North American or South American?  You have to understand because we are form the United States of America we aren't the only Americans.  We are....United States citizens, yes?  It's naturally assumed by most that when you say you are American you are from the United States, but everyone from Argentina to Canada is technically an American.

When someone asks my ethnic background I say European-American, if you want to hear what countries my family originated from i'll go there, but most of the time I don't feel the need to.  We're all immigrants aren't we?  You can't have national pride for your German heritage because you were born in America?
Who are you to wave your finger?
