^ If Judaism is not a race then why do Israeli Zionists talk about "Arabs vs. Jews" instead of talking about "Arabs vs. Israelis"?
Because the conflict has taken the form of all Jews living in Israel vs all Muslim Arabs. For example, when Hezbollah fired Katusha rockets into Israel during the 2006 War and killed Arabs, it apologized for that. But when it killed Jews it didn't even though those Jews could have been living in Israel before the European migration into Palestine.
And thus the conflict is that Arab Nationalism infused with Religious and Racist hatred for Jews vs Israel.
And since Arabs are the only ones fighting Israel it becomes a Jewish vs Arab conflict.
Kind of like if all muslims in England were being beaten up by whites, it would become a Anglo-Saxon vs Muslim conflict.
If being Jewish is religion than how can it be compared with being Arab (which is a race/nation)?! If Judaism is religion than its comparison can only be made with Islam (which is another religion).
Judiasm is seen by many Arabs as a religion of traitors, pigs and monkeys. Arabs consider Jews to be sub-human and supported Hitler during the Holocaust in World War II. They use out of context portions of the Quran to justify this non-sense.
But because it is mostly Arabs who share this non-nonsensical view of Jews it is thus shown as an Arab vs Jew conflict and not an Jew vs Islam conflict.
