Reply to comment by avon_barksale in Republican Jewish Coalition: George Santos Not Welcome at Any Future Events by mykl66

Watch him take a DNA test, have 1% Ashkenazi DNA, then double down like Warren when she claimed to be Native American.

Edit: not sure why the downvotes… im not claiming you are Jewish if you have any Jewish DNA. It doesn’t work like that. I was just saying this lying asshole would be one of those to try to claim it.

Jewish law actually defines what makes someone Jewish, so having Ashkenazi DNA alone isn't enough to qualify.

Well hold on. Jewish Law determines who is Jewish hallukakly (no i cant spell yiddish words)

A Jewish mother, or conversion, is what makes someone religiously Jewish. But plenty of self identified Jews, who live Jewish lives, had a Jewish father, and never formally converted.

Now, Santos can get fucked, he's a liar.

BUT. Who is a Jew? Is not actually a question with a singular answer.

Oh I know. Just saying I can see him doing this. I have 1.4% but would never identify as Jewish because 1) I def don’t meet the Jewish standard and 2) that would be soooo disingenuous

If that 1% was somehow transferred entirely matrilineally wouldn't he count though?

Not exactly, a Jewish mother or conversion equals Jewish, from a certain point of view.

But 1% DNA from a Catholic Mother? Not Jewish.
