Hi Simon, 👋 I respectfully disagree with your perspective. Judaism and Zionism are distinct; one is a faith, while the other is a political ideology. Criticism of Zionism shouldn't be conflated with criticism of Judaism and its people. Not all Zionists are Jewish; there are Christian Zionists and supporters from various backgrounds. Therefore, opposing Zionism is not the same as being anti-Semitic; it's a rejection of a political ideology, not an attack on Judaism or Jewish people. Recognizing this distinction is crucial for fostering understanding and avoiding misrepresentation. As a black man, I see a parallel here. Being critical of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement doesn't automatically mean being anti-black. Similarly, opposing Zionism doesn't equate to being anti-Jewish. Both cases involve distinguishing between a political ideology or movement and the people associated with it. It's important to acknowledge that individuals can hold differing views on political movements without those views reflecting their attitudes towards entire racial or ethnic groups. Lastly, despite comprising less than 0.2 percent of the world’s population, Jews often hold prominent positions in various industries and sectors of society, leading to the saying "Jews rule the world." While this statement can be twisted into antisemitic rhetoric, it’s important to approach it with nuance and understanding, but approach it nonetheless. Have a nice day!
Funny how Jews of the world were called to unite in war against the Austrian painter in Germany - I've seen the newspaper clipping. They have their separate groups but it very much looks like the different groups pull to a common goal....World domination....through policy and war to bolster their debt based money system 🤔
You make some good points, but criticism of “Palestine” or any Arab MENA country for being fascist, oppressive and corrupt entities is nearly always labelled as Islamophobic. If one cannot separate anti-Palestinian criticism from Islamophobia then one should also not be able to criticize Zionism/Israel without being accused of being an antisemite.

"The origins of the Jewish people are a complex and contested topic. There is no one definitive answer to the question of where the Jews were before Egypt. Some people believe that the Jews originated in Canaan, the land that is now known as Israel and Palestine. This belief is based on the Hebrew Bible, which tells the story of the Israelites, a group of people who believed in one God, Yahweh. According to the Bible, the Israelites journeyed to Egypt from Canaan during a famine, and they were enslaved there for many years. Eventually, they were led out of Egypt by Moses and returned to Canaan. Others believe that the Jews originated in Mesopotamia, an area that is now part of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. This belief is based on archaeological evidence, which suggests that there were people living in Mesopotamia who spoke a language similar to Hebrew and who practiced similar religious rituals to the Israelites. It is also possible that the Jews originated in other parts of the Middle East, or that they were a mixture of people from different regions. The truth is that we may never know for sure where the Jews came from." -Google Bard

The Invention of the Jewish People: Shlomo Sand. Professor of History at Tel Aviv University. The thesis of the book is that Judaism is a religion and that Jews are not a people in an ethnic, national or biological sense. Sand argues that the modern myth began with Heinrich Graetz’s History of the Jews (1853-1876) and has been promoted by Zionist thinkers, especially after 1929. The 1948 Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel states that ‘After being forcibly exiled from their land, the people kept faith with it throughout their Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom’. Sand argues that this is fiction. The Invention of the Land of Israel: From Holy Land to Homeland: Shlomo Sand. The Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that has become the site of the longest-running national struggle of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Invention of the Land of Israel deconstructs the age-old legends surrounding the Holy Land and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. The invention of the modern concept of the 'Land of Israel' in the nineteenth century, he argues, not only facilitated the colonization of the Middle East and the establishment of the State of Israel, it is also what is threatening Israel's existence today.
Islam is what is a danger to Israel and all Jews worldwide. Islam is a danger to every country claiming to be free. Europe is being colonised by Islam.

Most J's just wanted to continue to live in countries as they always had.

Small hats are their own separate club from the rest of the world, and even when they have internal disputes, that doesn't change.

There seems something odd about somebody being told what they are because of a religion their mother converted to. For example Felicity Kendall was born a Catholic and converts to Judaism. Now her children are the same religion even though they may wish to be Catholic and they have no historic Jewish heritage. In this example even their father may not be Jewish. Some historic figure has decided they must be Jewish and that is permanent.

Kier Starmer has undergone an Orthodox Conversion to join his jewish wife and their two children. (try to find a definitive answer to whether that's two boys or one boy and one girl) The issue in the UK (as senior police officers and lawyers know) is the English language. In the legal codex the use of a capital letter in a sentence of a group of people means ALL of them. Because most spell checkers CAPITALISE the J in jew or jews the law can place that as 'racism' as it is indiscriminate and thereby unlawful. However if you write/type with a lowercase j then there is nothing unlawful in saying whatever you feel you have to say. CZcams doesn't see it that way though and simply treats all the j's in jew, jews, jewish as triggers. If you use a smartphone it's spellchecker can, and has, cause a commentator time spent in jail here in the UK. It takes 500 instances of preferring the small j on an Iphone to stop it automatically trying to make you culpable of racism and for it to stop automatically capitalising that J. That's how our law in the UK has been since 2008. Like it or not. I've typed quite a few jews already that will doubtless get this factual post some attention from CZcams.

I have been saying decades that the distinction between jews and zionists, and judaism the religion vs jews the genetic people group, are utterly key distinctions in the discussion, and seemed to be constantly confused and suppressed by people who want all opposition to zionism to be falsely seen as bigotry against a genetic people group, or even a religion, when in reality it's simple disagreement with an ideology. Thank you for discussing this topic! I will say that the way you frame the topic, there really needs to be two categories of zionist. Because there is a meaningful distinction to be made. Support for the simple notion doesn't entail support for the trappings (lies, deeds, propaganda, fallacies, double standards, etc) of the zionist movement. Additionally, notional agreement doesn't entail that you oppose the same notion applying to every other people group, but the specific political movement of zionism does. Fallaciously equivocating the basic notion with the movement and all it's specifics is not really clearing up the muddied waters, it's muddying them further. Also, to say that all religious jews are supporters of zionism is just wrong as well, there are jewish sects that teach that they currently do not have dominion over the land for failing at their side of the covenant. There are millions of jews world wide who oppose the zionist movement, but practice judaism the religion. This is a surprisingly hyper-reductionist and simplistic take on a very nuanced and subtle topic. Not what I've come to expect from you.
The idea that if your mother is a Jew then you are too is just an arbitrary rule . I see no reason any one should believe the arbitrary customs of any religion that we are not a part of
@@HistoryDebunkedsimonwebb I see thankyou. I suspect that they invented the matrilineage rule simply to generate more Jews. Because, if two jews marry, then the children will obviously be jews. We can assume that the man in the marriage will be the one making the decisions about the religion of the children in mixed religious relationships. Hence, a jewish man with a non-jewish woman can choose to raise their children in his religion. A Jewish woman with a non-Jewish man may not have much say in which religion the children are raised, which is why they created this rule that the mother being Jewish automatically makes the children Jewish. I see no other reason why they would invoke matrilineage in this case, considering Jewish culture is patrilineal in all other ways, including the lineage of patriarchs their religion is centred around.

A direct question that Simon might be able to answer. My comment on this video [which you gave an answer to] seems to have disappeared. Any suggestions as to how that may have come about, Simon?
If a Jew is simply someone born to a Jewish mother or a convert; and they have the right to live in Israel because of that - does that make Israel an ethnostate? A theocracy? I'm genuinely unclear on this point.
It's a great question but the answer depends on your theological stance. If you believe in G-d then Jewish law defines it as you state but for a spiritual reason. Jews are those that descend from those that heard the word of G-d at Mount Sinai and those who are accepted into the faith which is no mean feat. An ethno state is a material idea born from the Treaty of Westphalia and irrelevant to Jews. A neat way to think of this is "jewish women propagate the seed while Jewish men propagate the word" If you do not believe in G-d then Israel is a nation state but not an ethno state as Jews are neither an ethnicity nor a race - they are a family of ethnicities - technically they are a civilisation. There are only 3 civilisations still standing over 3,000 years - the Jews, Indians and Chinese. All other civilisations have collapsed or have been mutated into something other than where they began. So Israel is neither an ethnostate nor a theocracy but a nation defined by G-d and enjoined by those that belong to it's family. One of the most common Jewish expressions "Am Israel Chai" translated to "The Jewish people live" is a statement to this endurance over 3,000 years of the worlds greatest civilisations that have tried to eradicate the Jews with no success Hope that helps
@@politicas3361 I appreciate the response but am still unclear; perhaps an example: If you are born to a Jewish mother and are therefore Jewish however you have no family roots whatsoever in Israel do you have the right to simply travel to Israel and demand citizenship on the grounds of your ethnicity?

It is difficult to get past the censor with this one, but I will try Simon here is the real history, back in the early 1800's Baron Rothschild started buying land in this area when all religions lived in peace at that time, and then came Theodore Herzl, the man who invented Z, the indigenous people were the Canaanites and the Phoenicians, which became the Palestinians and the Lebanese, Jews first arrived around 3000 years ago in small numbers from Syria and Iraq, this proves the land belongs to the Palestinians, the motto is never trust immigrants
The religions have never lived in peace, that's a myth. The 1800s were a time when the Moslem (Ottoman) empire was close to its weakest, having been defeated at the Battle of Vienna in the 1600s and on the retreat ever since. But the Holy Land (now Israel) was still under occupation by the Turks and would be until "liberated" by a British army in WW1.
That's only part of the story... Bilad Al Shams was a province of the Ottoman empire and as with all post 1918 empires The league of Nations mandate intended to grant self-determination to the patchwork quilt of ethnicities in the area such as Levantine Greeks Kurds Bedouin Samarians Yz8dis Armenians Druze Aluwites Assyrians Maronites and of course J.ws who had always been one of these minorities. Bit by bit either nationalist Turks or Sunni fundementalists drove these minorities out and annexed the lands e.g. Hatay, Aluwite State Jabal Druze Only Lebanon and later Israel Jordan and Syria achieved the Statehood mandated by the world. In retaliation J.ws were driven from Arab lands such as Yemen and European j.w.sh migrants also fled there. Palestine was simply a neutral name given to the whole of the South of Bilad Al Shams. Arabs in the whole region called themselves "Shamsi"(Syrian) until politics both Isl.m.c and Marxist created the identity "Palestinian"

The idea that Zionism is a political movement requiring that the Jews have a right to an independant state is , as far as I know , correct. What has happened is that today a geneticaly different group refers back to land lived in by others 2 to 3000 years ago and , combined with the fantasies of religious literature , have dispossessed the inhabitants who themselves had taken over the land in question. The problem appears to be intractable and may well lead to very serious loss of life ; especially as the rel of peace gains political power in Europe. This post ought to last about 10 minutes!

Zionism is Nationalism, it is an ideology, the flag of the Zionist movement later became the national flag of The State of Israel.... all you need to know
Of course prior to either the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD (per some of the Dead Sea scrolls) or earlier at the time of Ezra, either descent from a Israelite father or mother counted as being an Israelite. Jews of course being a subset of the Israelites. Case in point of course are Rahab's and later Ruth's descendants. They were excluded from the Taberbacle (later the Temple) assemblies for several generations because they had non-Israelite ancestors, but per the Mosaic law it did not matter which parent was not an Israelite... it mattered that they were from a mixed marriage. Ezra had the men put away their non-Jewish wives and chidlren because the wives were still worshipping pagan dieties and the male children were not being circumcised (per the ancient commentaries).

Hi Simon, 👋
I respectfully disagree with your perspective. Judaism and Zionism are distinct; one is a faith, while the other is a political ideology. Criticism of Zionism shouldn't be conflated with criticism of Judaism and its people. Not all Zionists are Jewish; there are Christian Zionists and supporters from various backgrounds. Therefore, opposing Zionism is not the same as being anti-Semitic; it's a rejection of a political ideology, not an attack on Judaism or Jewish people. Recognizing this distinction is crucial for fostering understanding and avoiding misrepresentation.
As a black man, I see a parallel here. Being critical of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement doesn't automatically mean being anti-black. Similarly, opposing Zionism doesn't equate to being anti-Jewish. Both cases involve distinguishing between a political ideology or movement and the people associated with it. It's important to acknowledge that individuals can hold differing views on political movements without those views reflecting their attitudes towards entire racial or ethnic groups.
Lastly, despite comprising less than 0.2 percent of the world’s population, Jews often hold prominent positions in various industries and sectors of society, leading to the saying "Jews rule the world." While this statement can be twisted into antisemitic rhetoric, it’s important to approach it with nuance and understanding, but approach it nonetheless.
Have a nice day!
You make some good points here and of course because I am not myself a Jew, it is entirely possible that I have indeed made mistakes!

You make some good points, but criticism of “Palestine” or any Arab MENA country for being fascist, oppressive and corrupt entities is nearly always labelled as Islamophobic.

Google old kingdom of Israel. Jews were there first
"The origins of the Jewish people are a complex and contested topic. There is no one definitive answer to the question of where the Jews were before Egypt.
Some people believe that the Jews originated in Canaan, the land that is now known as Israel and Palestine. This belief is based on the Hebrew Bible, which tells the story of the Israelites, a group of people who believed in one God, Yahweh. According to the Bible, the Israelites journeyed to Egypt from Canaan during a famine, and they were enslaved there for many years. Eventually, they were led out of Egypt by Moses and returned to Canaan.
Others believe that the Jews originated in Mesopotamia, an area that is now part of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. This belief is based on archaeological evidence, which suggests that there were people living in Mesopotamia who spoke a language similar to Hebrew and who practiced similar religious rituals to the Israelites.
It is also possible that the Jews originated in other parts of the Middle East, or that they were a mixture of people from different regions. The truth is that we may never know for sure where the Jews came from."

The Invention of the Jewish People: Shlomo Sand. Professor of History at Tel Aviv University.
The thesis of the book is that Judaism is a religion and that Jews are not a people in an ethnic, national or biological sense. Sand argues that the modern myth began with
Heinrich Graetz’s History of the Jews (1853-1876) and has been promoted by Zionist thinkers, especially after 1929. The 1948 Declaration of the Establishment of the
State of Israel states that ‘After being forcibly exiled from their land, the people kept faith with it throughout their Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their
return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom’. Sand argues that this is fiction.
The Invention of the Land of Israel: From Holy Land to Homeland: Shlomo Sand.
The Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that has become the site of the longest-running national struggle of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Invention of the Land of Israel deconstructs the age-old legends surrounding the Holy Land and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. The invention of the modern concept of the 'Land of Israel' in the nineteenth century, he argues, not only facilitated the colonization of the Middle East and the establishment of the State of Israel, it is also what is threatening Israel's existence today.
Islam is what is a danger to Israel and all Jews worldwide. Islam is a danger to every country claiming to be free. Europe is being colonised by Islam.

simon returning to his apologist roots to make pennance for his impertinent questions of the saturday's theatrical performance.
I have been saying decades that the distinction between jews and zionists, and judaism the religion vs jews the genetic people group, are utterly key distinctions in the discussion, and seemed to be constantly confused and suppressed by people who want all opposition to zionism to be falsely seen as bigotry against a genetic people group, or even a religion, when in reality it's simple disagreement with an ideology. Thank you for discussing this topic! I will say that the way you frame the topic, there really needs to be two categories of zionist. Because there is a meaningful distinction to be made. Support for the simple notion doesn't entail support for the trappings (lies, deeds, propaganda, fallacies, double standards, etc) of the zionist movement. Additionally, notional agreement doesn't entail that you oppose the same notion applying to every other people group, but the specific political movement of zionism does. Fallaciously equivocating the basic notion with the movement and all it's specifics is not really clearing up the muddied waters, it's muddying them further. Also, to say that all religious jews are supporters of zionism is just wrong as well, there are jewish sects that teach that they currently do not have dominion over the land for failing at their side of the covenant. There are millions of jews world wide who oppose the zionist movement, but practice judaism the religion. This is a surprisingly hyper-reductionist and simplistic take on a very nuanced and subtle topic. Not what I've come to expect from you.

@@HistoryDebunkedsimonwebb I see thankyou. I suspect that they invented the matrilineage rule simply to generate more Jews. Because, if two jews marry, then the children will obviously be jews. We can assume that the man in the marriage will be the one making the decisions about the religion of the children in mixed religious relationships. Hence, a jewish man with a non-jewish woman can choose to raise their children in his religion. A Jewish woman with a non-Jewish man may not have much say in which religion the children are raised, which is why they created this rule that the mother being Jewish automatically makes the children Jewish. I see no other reason why they would invoke matrilineage in this case, considering Jewish culture is patrilineal in all other ways, including the lineage of patriarchs their religion is centred around.

Ok Simon, now do Muslims and Islamist.
I sometimes wonder if the people who state that they are not anti semitic but think Israel should cease to exist would be equally comfortable with a statement saying they Scotland or Wales should disappear but they are big fans of the Welsh and their language and culture etc? It’s against international law to make a person stateless by the way.
People that make such statements often can be accurately described as Jews, to present them with this mirrored opinion is considered antisemitic.

Remember penny chews Simon, can you still get them 😂
Simon, so if a woman converts in later life, does her children automatically become Jewish by default, that sounds a bit unfair.
No, they have to be born of a Jewish woman. If she wasn't Jewish at the time of the birth, the kids are not Jews.
An Irish journalist got into big, big trouble for alluding to the well known ability of Jews to make money (that’s my way of putting it) - the journalist was able to demonstrate that he had Jewish friends and had written positively about Jews (and Israel) for decades - my own view is that there’s a greater proportion of “high achievers” among Jews than there is among “Gentiles” - yes - that can often involve their making lots of money but the world would be a poorer (in the widest sense) place without Jews. So - that Irish journalist “got it in the neck” and was “cancelled” just because he stated what many of us know !
What exactly do Jews contribute to the world that we couldn't possibly do without?

Good Morning Mr Webb.
Good morning!
If a Jew is simply someone born to a Jewish mother or a convert; and they have the right to live in Israel because of that - does that make Israel an ethnostate? A theocracy? I'm genuinely unclear on this point.
It's a great question but the answer depends on your theological stance.
If you believe in G-d then Jewish law defines it as you state but for a spiritual reason. Jews are those that descend from those that heard the word of G-d at Mount Sinai and those who are accepted into the faith which is no mean feat. An ethno state is a material idea born from the Treaty of Westphalia and irrelevant to Jews. A neat way to think of this is "jewish women propagate the seed while Jewish men propagate the word"
If you do not believe in G-d then Israel is a nation state but not an ethno state as Jews are neither an ethnicity nor a race - they are a family of ethnicities - technically they are a civilisation. There are only 3 civilisations still standing over 3,000 years - the Jews, Indians and Chinese. All other civilisations have collapsed or have been mutated into something other than where they began.
So Israel is neither an ethnostate nor a theocracy but a nation defined by G-d and enjoined by those that belong to it's family. One of the most common Jewish expressions "Am Israel Chai" translated to "The Jewish people live" is a statement to this endurance over 3,000 years of the worlds greatest civilisations that have tried to eradicate the Jews with no success
Hope that helps
@@politicas3361 I appreciate the response but am still unclear; perhaps an example: If you are born to a Jewish mother and are therefore Jewish however you have no family roots whatsoever in Israel do you have the right to simply travel to Israel and demand citizenship on the grounds of your ethnicity? If yes, that would make Israel an ethno-state, would it not? By which I mean a state where your legal rights and standing are at least somewhat impacted by your ethnicity.
@@Taal111 If you're mother is Jewish you are Jewish wether you want to be or not. That qualifies you for full citizenship and more as the IL government will assist you.
This does not make IL an ethno-state as you cold be a Russian Ethiopian or Syrian Jew, i.e. of different ethnicities and still have the right to Israel.
A simple inverted way of answering the question is 'If Israel is an ethnostate what ethnicity does it represent ?" The answer is none and therefore it is not an ethno-state
@@Taal111 To add one more thing if this helps and if you are interested in more technical aspects
In genetics there are crudely, 7 races spanning just over 650 ethnicities which live in around 200 nation states.
Almost all nations states are multi ethnic for obvious reasons but Israel is unique as it defines it's nation on something that transcends ethnicity. It simultaneously has created one of the strongest nation states - strict borders, mandatory national service and a common purpose that supercedes ideology , faith and race.
After Oct 7 there was two remarkable things that happened.
1. The entire nation came together and put on their uniform in record time.
2. Thousands pf Jews from California to Calcutta to the Kamchatka started streaming towards Israel in order to defend her
If Britain had just an iota of such patriotism I for one would be a happy chappy

Was Simon the voice on Mr Ben?
That's actually quite funny!
It is difficult to get past the censor with this one, but I will try Simon here is the real history, back in the early 1800's Baron Rothschild started buying land in this area when all religions lived in peace at that time, and then came Theodore Herzl, the man who invented Z, the indigenous people were the Canaanites and the Phoenicians, which became the Palestinians and the Lebanese, Jews first arrived around 3000 years ago in small numbers from Syria and Iraq, this proves the land belongs to the Palestinians, the motto is never trust immigrants
The religions have never lived in peace, that's a myth. The 1800s were a time when the Moslem (Ottoman) empire was close to its weakest, having been defeated at the Battle of Vienna in the 1600s and on the retreat ever since. But the Holy Land (now Israel) was still under occupation by the Turks and would be until "liberated" by a British army in WW1.
That's only part of the story... Bilad Al Shams was a province of the Ottoman empire and as with all post 1918 empires The league of Nations mandate intended to grant self-determination to the patchwork quilt of ethnicities in the area such as Levantine Greeks Kurds Bedouin Samarians Yz8dis Armenians Druze Aluwites Assyrians Maronites and of course J.ws who had always been one of these minorities.
Bit by bit either nationalist Turks or Sunni fundementalists drove these minorities out and annexed the lands e.g. Hatay, Aluwite State Jabal Druze
Only Lebanon and later Israel Jordan and Syria achieved the Statehood mandated by the world.
In retaliation J.ws were driven from Arab lands such as Yemen and European j.w.sh migrants also fled there.
Palestine was simply a neutral name given to the whole of the South of Bilad Al Shams.
Arabs in the whole region called themselves "Shamsi"(Syrian) until politics both Isl.m.c and Marxist created the identity "Palestinian"
@@philiphumphrey1548 Yes I agree, Islam has, and is very troublesome, but not in the Levant [Palestine] the tiny Jewish population lived side by side with the indigenous population, your problem is Z
Let’s not forget that the 10 tribes of Israel were removed from the middle east and later emerged as the Duchess of if Liechtenstein. Israel has no right to call itself Israel; it should be called Judah.
You have a bizarre grasp of history.
Jews /Israelites were in Canaan in 1200 BC.
Syria and Iraq did not exist then.
You talk about the Middle East being peaceful in the 19th century, it had been conquered by the Ottoman Empire, who you pretend never existed. The Ottomans were kind of a big deal.
Instead of reading and believing pseudo-history I would suggest you do some proper research.

The idea that Zionism is a political movement requiring that the Jews have a right to an independant state is , as far as I know , correct.
What has happened is that today a geneticaly different group refers back to land lived in by others 2 to 3000 years ago and , combined with the fantasies of religious literature , have dispossessed the inhabitants who themselves had taken over the land in question.
The problem appears to be intractable and may well lead to very serious loss of life ; especially as the rel of peace gains political power in Europe.
This post ought to last about 10 minutes!
Materialism is fantasy. And that is just racism against white Jews. Ashkis have the same claim to Israel as any other Jew
Interesting idea, except that Jewish DNA proves to be mostly middke-eastern. All Jewish languages in the diaspora are a combination of Hebrew and the local languages. Yiddish = Hebrew and old German from the fourth century, Ladino = Hebrew snd old Spanis. Jewish Arabic = Hebrew and old Arabic
If we applied the same rules for citizenship that the Israelis do, then everyone of Anglo-Saxon ancestry could oome to live in England. What a super idea. But how would we find room for them all, if not by dispossessing everyone who wasn't of the same ancestry?
But the land that you call England was occupied by another people before the people who occupied and colonized it took it over and called it England.
@@quintrankid8045 That's very true. I believe it was originally called something like Lloegr, as the Welsh call it today. Many of our English ancestors came from Northern Germany. The Romano-Britons couldn't defend Britain. We were settler coloniists, like the Americans in North America, and the British in Ireland. But in modern times, this is less acceptable, which is why the British had to leave Ireland, and may have to leave Northern Ireland. What the Israelis are doing is anachronistic in this day and age, but they may get away with it, being allies of the West in the Arab world.

I think it's daft that someone born to a Jewish mother is considered to be a Jew even if they don't practise the religion. They might be from a Jewish cultural background but shouldn't be thought of as Jews.

Of course prior to either the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD (per some of the Dead Sea scrolls) or earlier at the time of Ezra, either descent from a Israelite father or mother counted as being an Israelite. Jews of course being a subset of the Israelites. Case in point of course are Rahab's and later Ruth's descendants. They were excluded from the Taberbacle (later the Temple) assemblies for several generations because they had non-Israelite ancestors, but per the Mosaic law it did not matter which parent was not an Israelite... it mattered that they were from a mixed marriage. Ezra had the men put away their non-Jewish wives and chidlren because the wives were still worshipping pagan dieties and the male children were not being circumcised (per the ancient commentaries).
