No, you didn't.
Unless you chose to refer to Masada and Lord Baal as "Jews", and I can't think of a reason for doing this that would reflect well on you.

"Online Jews" - I should add. My mistake.
People on this forum are not willing to reveal what country they come from, but when someone has "Canaan" in his location, then I suppose he is from Israel.
Perhaps the same reason as the reason why Masada and Lord Baal refer to me as a "Polish guy" ???

I was reading an article about the most isolated tribe in the world, the North Sentinelese People. Its assumed that they came to the island directly from Africa 60,000 years ago and they have never moved and seeing they're aggressiveness which includes killing others, we can assume they have probably never mixed or adopted something from others. Now how does one go about translating their language. Is that language anything we've ever heard of before? How complex is it? Lets say the allow an anthropologist to listen to them, how would he find common words with other languages (like they usually do) when they are so isolated. Will we ever know their ways?

Garbage day!!!
The Sentinelese language is totally unkown. It has never been recorded and all we know for sure is that it's an uncomprehensible gibberish even for the few Onge people that have attempted contact with them.

But will we ever manage to decipher it?
This may seem to be an odd notion to you, but people reveal these things called user names for everyone to see. You can use them to address people.
But I suppose you can't interact with people without knowing their precise nationality and ethnicity.
I have never seen them doing so. Especially not in situations where "Domen" would have sufficed.
I'm sorry, but that's basically the same difference. Having Judaism as a religion does not make you an "ethnic group".
It's complicated because 'Jewish' can refer to either an ethnicity or a religion, and one does not always imply the other.

It's really not. There are plenty of people, particularly in the US, who identify as "Jewish" without participating in the faith or its traditions beyond attending Jewish school, learning hebrew, having a baht/bar mitzvah and maybe celebrating Hannukah with their children.
The ethnicity really isn't tied at all to the religion beyond a vague expectation that if you self-identify as Jewish you need to learn Hebrew and have the mitzvah. Most Jews I know lost the Hebrew almost as soon as they had their mitzvah.

"Jewish" is a definite ethnic group in Russia, no one here bats an eyelid over phrases like "atheist Jew", and "I'm not Jewish, I'm Russian" rolls easier then "I'm not a Jew, I'm a Catholic".
Probably connected to the fact that the USSR "forcibly recognized" Jews as ethnicity, since I've seen posters from USA and parts of Europe expressing puzzlement over the whole "Jewish ethnicity" hoolabaloo.

Masada and I are both quite open about our locations and history. I'm a Jewish-Australian of Palestinian-British extraction, he's a Maori living in Darwin. I'm brown, he's orange. This is no secret. Nor have either of us ever said that crap you're peddling.
I thought he was the latest incarnation of the Avatar living in Republic City.
If you're saying this is wrong, why is he so cagey about the truth? Does he have something to hide?
Sorry, we* can't use "jew" as a verb. Not all languages are so happy with the unnatural class-bending as your Anglo-Saxon gibberish is.

Yes, yes, yes. I was making a joke about Domen's blatant antisemitism, something frequently revealed in English-speakers by the use of "jew" as a verb, e.g. "he jewed me out of that promotion".
It is pretty great, but it's not like it's particularly difficult to do something similar in German.

sometime in the future ı hope to keep on with my regular rant , but it's essentially this . Nasır allowed 67 to happen . He tried to recover face with the war of Attrition . Despite the happy accounts of slaughter of Russian pilots in a set-up , Israelis didn't like the final Commie involvement . Nasır died , Sedat found himself in top . China was trying to get out of the Cultural Revolution and stuff , weapon sales to Egypt might have helped somewhat . So , the War of 1973 happened maybe 3 years early , yet it might still have done better had Syrians not managed to bungle their forces into bottlenecks ; which they wouldn't have to ... Had they not given up the Golan Heights in a bid to get an intervention back in '67 . And '73 is a solid Eygpt victory , despite Sharon's "success" . How else Israel would be pushed to give up conquest ?
