Judaism is not a race but am ETHNICITY. There is a major difference between the two.
Jews can be black, like the Ethiopian Jews, or white like the Majority Ashkenazi Jews. They don't belong to a certain race but to one and the same Ethnicity. Pretty much like Arabs and Hispanics.
Jews are brothers of the muslims. Their Torah is very much like the holy Koran.
That's what most Pakistanis have been taught. But Judaism is religion PLUS race.
These days, Jews have allowed some conversions (but with severe restrictions), because they don't want to be considered racist.
But again, a Jew is Jew by birth. He remains Jew even if he becomes an atheist.
Judaism is MORE than just a religion.
that is a fair point to an extent. far as i know a jew doesnot remain a jew if he/she adapts christianity or islam , however its important to have jewish blood (mostly from mother) to be considered a bonafide jew. however israel carries out apartheid against anyone who is a muslim and more so if a palestinian. so in that it cannot be classified as racial. the fact that they fail to acknowledge the stance of most muslim countries on israeli occupation is also nothing to do with race, rather religion. you can pakistani or an arab, to them you are the same.

Well, Israel has no problem with Islam or Palestinians. They are worthless in the eyes of racist Zionists. They are so worthless that Zionists don't even hate them. Zionists want the LAND. And it does not matter who occupies it. Whether Christian or Muslim.
They want land because they think only Jews as nation belong there.
Remember, American Christian right supports Israel not because Zionists are Jews, but because most Jews are WHITE Ashkenazis. It's all about racism.
^that is over simplyfying the matters. You cannot tell israelis and palestinians apart based on skin colour. Its politics and its games of interests, west supports them not because they are white but because having israel in that location is in their interest. Zionist lobby is quite strong in USA and Australia so the money talks when it comes to foreign policies. Some of it thanks to propoganda and a whole lot of it is to do with our govts serving their interests.
