I don't understand this story. the idea that juist because yur grandmother was jewish that makes you a jew, that's horrible.
Jewish is a religion, not a race. There is nothing hereditary about a religion. Religion is a choice. This man is despicable for his views, but to say he's a hypocrite just because he has jewish ancestors, is wrong. It's like saying someone that was born and raised Catholic is a hypocrite for speaking out against the Catholic church. He has every right to speak out against any religion he likes, and just because his grandmother was of that religion does not mean he can't criticize it. People are trying to racialize religion, but religion is not a race. Just like if someone criticizes Islam they are called "racist" but Muslim is not a race, so how is it racist?? I was raised Catholic and i have every right to criticize Catholicism all I like, I also criticize Judaism and Islam and it doesn't make me a hypocrite or a racist. Everyone is an individual. Who his ancestors were is of no consequence. If the man chooses not to be a Jew, then he is not a Jew.
