Supposedly, one of Ben Gurion's quips was that "Jew is anyone who is stupid enough to claim he or she is one." When most of us want to know who is a Jew, we turn to an encyclopedia, probably. The question "who is a Jew?" came up in Knesset discussions more than once for an official definition and there never was an answer. Israeli authorities in charge of immigration define "Jew" differently than many other authorities in Israel. It's an ambiguity Israel is living with and stopped worrying about a long time ago. So, is the person in the glass box really a "Jew"?

A fuss over an exhibition. Looks like its been a slow news day in israel as usual... Maybe I'll pay a visit to this and ask some questions of my own..sounds creative though!

Can we arrange some changes in the Jewish thinking? Western Europization? Leaving the Eastern European barbarism? Joining the Enlightenment?

wake [an old and wise proverb].

didn't the artist think that part through? or was it that the artist wanted to draw that particular analogy?

like,my grand father,uncles,cousins,the entire neighburhood were involved in the killing of the Jews,how come you are still alive ?.

I notice this forum likes to add spelling mistakes quite often.... what's going on here?

If such an exercise were carried out pre-internet, I would consider it maybe a proper use of time; nowadays, the person in the glass box is just wasting their time.

Publicise the story of present day Afrikaners ( Boers ) in South Africa. They have been denied access to jobs and discriminated against by the ANC government. They are on stage 6 of the 8 level genocide warning system. Their plight is grim and they are ignored by the Western media. Their situation today and its causes are not totally dissimilar from the plight of the Jews in the past. White gentiles will immediately be outraged and identify with the white gentile Afrikaners in a way which they will never identify with the Jews no matter how many Holocaust movies are made.

yes, all right. the more things change, the more they stay the same.

You have no right to say who "looks" Jewish and doesn't. Orthodox Frum look nothing like Jews did 1000, 2000 or 3000 years ago. Some can argue that modern orthodoxy barely resembles Judaism at all. At least the Lubovitch community seems to have an understanding of this and attempts to be inclusive of all Jews regardless of how they look. You are nothing more than a bigot, and worse, a bigot against other Jews.

dominant minorities are the muslims, not the jews. jews' numbers are way too small. it is the muslim that infiltrate and demand their sharia law and most europeans are sick and tired of their demands, the stench and dirt of their communities and the constant haggling and violence that emminates from their culture. i only wish all of them were thrown out of our once beautiful countries. they stink up the environment wherever they live. they are violent and dirty and are quite illiterate and give nothing back to our society except rely on free aid in medial care and food and living expenses such as low rent. however, the jewish minority in any european country is extremely wealthy and successful academically and in all walks of life. they contribute to our society while the arabs and muslims and muslim turks take from our society. they are as usual welfare recipients. unemployment among them is severe, but no jews are unemployed. they are mostly professionals and business men. muslims are a drain on our economy especially now. natalie brossard paris
