Being a Jew isn’t about genetics. It’s a fucking religion first and foremost.
Oh, well in that case, Hitler still wasn’t Jewish. He was raised Catholic. Later described himself as “not a Catholic and not a Protestant, but a German Christian.”
So how do you interpret someone saying “Kind of how Hitler was Jewish”? Seeing as how he wasn’t part of the religion, and given how “Jewish” is both a religion and an ethnicity? Because I interpret that as someone saying he’s part of the ethnicity, which was long rumored, and which was very recently shown not to be the case.
Do you think Hitler really cared about lineage when he was clearing out Jewish homes?
Yes? Eugenics was a big part of Nazi ideology.

Yes, and no.
Obviously, someone with no Jewish lineage could convert and they won’t start developing the generic traits of a Jew, but from what I understand, even they themselves consider themselves a different lineage than gentiles.
Not unlike how people say they are Italian or Irish, even if they’ve never been to Europe.

Do you think Nazis practice that level of nuance when they’re rounding up people for death camps?

What a bizarre response.

Your willful disengagement with the obvious truth is beyond pathetic. Sad you fucking goons do not understand the most basic things about bigotry.
