Really? You got to repeat that nonsense again? Obviously mate, you are not a Jew but if you take on Christianity you are basically asking to be one. Although there's the idea that Christianity is unlike the Jewish religion in that it focuses too much on the afterlife.

In any case, not everyone is chosen. When the Israelites led by Moses came to celebrate with a golden calf, half of the Israelites were killed, presumably because they were not the chosen ones. Nuff said.

The Bible records that the tribe of Levi did not worship the golden calf. When Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: 'Whosoever is on the LORD's side, let him come unto me.' And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.' And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. (Exodus 32:26-28)

The reason half the Israelites were killed was because they were worshiping a Pagan Calf Idol that was not the God of the Jews while Moses was away. Disloyalty is what's what.

In Judaism, being a Jew is an ethnic and religious thing. It is a religion with an ethnic national component which is in fact pretty common among the middle eastern city states during the Bronze age. That is why endogamy was practiced among Diasporic Jews, but you can see that Jewish men marrying German women kind of mean't it was not perfect.

In the Bronze Age Middle East, there were different Gods represented an ethnic group/nation as that ethnic group's city and culture's representing protecting tutelary patron God.

For the Israelites/Jews, it was Yahweh representing their civilization.
For the Moabites, it was Chemosh representing their civilization.
For the Canaanites, it was Baal representing their civilization.
For the Egyptians, it was Horus representing their civilization.
For Upper Egypt, it was Set.
For the Spartans, it was Ares.
For the Athenians, it was Athena.

See?

Jews just so happen to be the one who outlasted all of them (except for Japan maybe) while the rest of the Middle East and the Balkans and the Med fell to Abrahamism.

China did not seem to develop nationalistic Gods for themselves from what I know. Not that the Middle Eastern religions were better or worse, it was just different.

OT: Chinese from Vietnam in America are Chinese Americans.

Ugh.

You will find that history of Jewish genetics is far more complicated than one drop rule or just "Oh Austronesian or EA blood!"

You see, there is indication and evidence that from even since biblical times, Jews were ALWAYS half Semitic and half European this whole time. Even before the Roman expulsion of Jews. Since Jews always interact with many Anatolians (Indo-Europeans), Greeks, and other IE Meds.

And the fact that Greeks and Romans both subjugated Israel/Palestine and selected ethnic Jews as their puppet kings, and the records of constant Jew-Greek intermarriages and the supposed close alliance and friendship between Jews and Spartans.

It's more complicated......

There's also the issue that Ashkenazi Jews are nearly ethnically identical to Sicilians and Southern Italians (or vice versa).

The One Drop rule is something that should not be considered because Levantines were always intermingling with Indo-European whites even before Judaism existed as a dinstiction from the Semitic population.

When you study Middle Eastern history, you need to stop looking at it from the lenses of like how Godzilla viewed and the stuff we have here is very complicated. It even hurts my head...

You also have to use analogies to your own Chinese culture and make "alternate scenarios" to make a little bit sense.

Koba, what if every Chinese God in Chinese Folk Religion decided that the only humans that could worship them were Han? That the only Humans they would choose to aid and bless were Han Chinese? What if the Jade Emperor in your traditions selected China as the CHOSEN NATION of Humanity by the Gods? What if your Chinese religions were based on religious ethno-nationalism? If you can picture these alternate scenarios of Chinese history, then you'd understand that's basically what being Jewish is.

Judaism as a religion is the sum total of Jewish Culture, and it is with this culture that envicts Jews to endogamy and preserving their own genes as G-d's chosen people.

We Jews are an ETHNO-RELIGIOUS group. An ethnic group strongly tied to our religion + culture that binds and preserves our own existence. Back then, you're not supposed to convert to Judaism because why would a God who focuses on Jews care about Chinese and Filipinos? It destroys the very meaning of the religion itself.
