So my assumption is correct. It is some notion of supremacy?
They're still stuck in the Old Testament where the matrilinial line is used to ascertain ancestry. Like the Picts.
Jews have used the female line since Roman times - in the case of a mixed marriage, Roman and Jew, the mother's line was considered. In the time of Abraham and Moses the father's line was pre-emininent. Orthodoxy made it clear which should be considered in most cases, but they've only been around in Eastern Europe - mostly Poland and the Baltic states - since the 18th century. The modern Jewish state isn't as ancient as they like to think.I suspect their remoteness and isolation has more effect than their lineage criteria.
In what way?If we are using the word stuck. There is nothing more stuck in time than Islam.
In what way?
Religious orthodoxy, or their attitudes to the modern world?

Non-Jew immigrants to Israel have ro accept Judaism and renounce all other religions, and nationalities.
Only Jewish immigrants are allowed to hold dual-nationality.

Perhaps there forbears had John
And can we lose this idea of my use of the phrase 'white supremacy'.
I onlty used it because it had already been adopted in this discussion. It's not an accurate assessment of Jewish culture. Although I suspect it is informally, and non-white Jews are also second-class citizens.
Why do you ask me to confirm something I just said.Really Roy?
Israel doesn't allow Israeli passport holders to visit some Muslim countries.Again not strictly true.
One beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Tel Aviv esplanade. I stood for over an hour watching Hare Krishnas dancing and singing. I stayed partly due to probably the most beautiful woman I've ever seen,
with the most beautiful smile took most of my attention.
I asked and was told rebellious youngsters exercising their freedom.
My friend Paul from England served in Mossad. He's visited Morocco and other Muslim countries as his children have. Do you think they have done that on an Israeli passport?
