       Jewishness

       Question: Are those with a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother
       considered Jewish? Judaism only recognizes as Jews those with
       Jewish mothers.

       Strictly speaking you are correct, but those with only Jewish
       fathers are often encouraged to marry (and reproduce with) those
       with Jewish mothers, thereby reincorporating their bloodline.
       From our perspective, those with Jewish fathers should be
       considered Jews if they themselves reproduce (with anyone). If
       they do not reproduce and oppose Judaism, they should be
       considered individuals with Jewish fathers. The same applies to
       those with Jewish mothers.

       Then I guess Jews who have infiltrated Buddhism, like Bhikkhu
       Bodhi, are Jewish, because they follow the Theraveda school,
       which allows the consumption of meat.

       @christianbethel Carnism isn't strictly Jewish. Non-Aryans as a
       whole are prone to carnism. And to us, this isn't a sectarian
       battle to begin with. We will criticize sects that condone it

       What does that have to do with Bhikkhu Bodhi?

       Sorry, I misread your comment. But most of what I said still
       applies

       "Theraveda school, which allows the consumption of meat."
       As I have tried to explain in the past, the originally intended
       context of this meat consumption was freeganism:

       eating meat; he advocated freeganism among his original sangha:

       > Nevertheless this has not prevented Buddhism from increasingly
       aligning with veganism after Buddhism became established within
       the economy (freeganism only works economically when the rest of
       society is non-freegan, whereas veganism can work economically
       for an entire society, therefore veganism is not a deviation
       from Buddhism, but the correct application of Buddhist ethics in
       conjunction with the instruction to spread Buddhism).

       Freegan (ie. scavenged) meat involves no additional initiated
       violence, therefore is fine. What corrupted Theravada is
       misinterpreting Siddhartha's teaching from meaning that
       scavenged meat is acceptable into meaning that donated meat is
       acceptable(!), which opens the possibility of additional
       initiated violence by donors who eventually get into a habit of
       donating more than their own genuine leftovers (and it is
       obviously impractical for the sangha to audit the donors!).)
