Nothing controversial about that.

In fact the idea that the jews of Europe were/are separate from the local community is rooted in the same anti-semitism that the jews were attempting to escape.
And quit with your racist garbage when talking about how terrible the "surrounding countries" are. They're all flawed in their own ways. That's neither here nor there. |
Jews were an ostracized group in Europe and a distinct ethnic group that for various reasons rarely ever mixed with non Jews. Ashkenazi Jews may have been integrated into parts of European society but a Jew in Poland was far more related to a Jew in Belgium than to any of their Polish neighbours. Hell, a Jew from Poland is far more related to a Jew in Tunisia and a Jew in Syria than they were with ethnic Poles or to any other host population where Jews lived in Europe. If Jews were not separate from European society there would have been at least some intermixing with Jews and non Jews but it was a rare phenomenon compared to the rate that other European communities mixed with each other. Jews were more assimilated in western europe but even so Jews were still looked at as the “other” and antisemitism was present in every community and country Jews immigrated into. Ashkenazi Jewish society and culture developed and was founded in Europe, but Ashkenazi Jews were never not seen as outsiders. If Jews were fully part of the European community why couldn’t Europeans stop killing Jews?
Being Jewish of course is not a race, it is an ethnoreligion.
