Like everyone's already said, Judaism isn't a nationality. We do consider it a 'race' though, although there will probably be a trickle of posts telling me that's not so. Anyhoo... that's what we believe.

I can't say I've ever considered Judaism as a race

And yet... Trumpet has just referred to the "Jewish race" on another thread.

Lots of people would argue that it's actually a race... but then lots of people would argue about practically anything!

Someone's already tried that. Didn't work out... but the humour wasn't affected happily.

Muslims account for more circumcisions than the Jews. American circumcision is usually done for non-religious reasons. Nice to think some people believe the Jews are so influential they persuaded 80% of the male population of the US get circumcised though.

I meant... It was offered to me at my sons baby check up appointment at the doctors office... I refused.
My sister did it to her boy though

Some of what I hear on the topic is it's esthetically pleasing that way
Why would you be thinking about your son's penis like that at 2 weeks of age

... Or at all

Israel calling.

As an Israeli (born, raised and still there) I can guarantee you that Judaism does not mean Israeli and the other way round.
Israel is so-called "Jewish and Democratic state" (which is quite an absurd oxymoron), it's mostly jewish because of its historical-biblical narrative (and being the sanctuary for holocaust survivors, like my grandparents).
Even in Israel, which is jewish-biased, the issue of labeling it formally as a nationality is quite a controversial one.
As a result, the nationality in our IDs is "******" (yep, asterisks).

I'm, btw, an atheist (although my roots are jewish and some may want to consider me as such).
