Prove that Jews are a race

What specific genetic traits qualify someone as a "Jew" ?
If Jews are the same as Hebrews, where is the evidence that Jews are related to Hebrews?
How can two people of entirely different races be the same race just because they are labelled "Jews" ?
 Excon has more Nigerian DNA than he does actual Hebrew DNA, so why does he identify so much more strongly with this imaginary "Jew" race?
Why doesn't "Hebrew" show up in Excon's DNA test? It says "Ashkenazi Jew" but then shows percentages only for Polish and Nigerian etc. Nowhere in the test does it point to Israel or give a percentage for how "Jewish" he is, the actual DNA results show he is mostly Polish.
Unless the above can be answered logically, Jews are obviously not a race and your cognition is literally at a subhuman level if you disagree.

Jews must be a race otherwise you hate them.

Excon. Jewish prince.

Is this a serious question ? Jewish is much more an adjective than a noun. That adjective has Hebrew religious or biblical origins.

Ethnically they are semites same as Arabs, brothers under the skin...sons of Abraham.

So we can prove [they] are not a race.

'Jew' has two meanings, do you first and foremost accept this?

He doesn't accept it because unlike you he has the capability of critical thinking. He doesn't just read something and figure, "well that must be true because I read it".

Here's my DNA test

But your "DNA test" has been comprehensively debunked dozens of times as pseudo-science. You simply refuse to acknowledge this and instead continuously insist everybody who disputes its scientific accuracy is a Jew hater.

Go fuck yourself. I must have posted this easily over twenty times:-

DNA ancestry tests branded 'meaningless'

Commercial DNA tests that claim to tell people whether they are related to Richard III or descended from the Vikings are no more than "genetic astrology", scientists have warned.

Customers are being charged up to £300 to learn whether they have links to famous people or societies despite the fact many of the tests are not backed up by scientific evidence, experts said.

The amount of DNA any individual inherits from relatives just a few steps up their family tree is negligible compared with the vast amount we all share from common ancestors.

It means any ancestral "history" identified by a simple genetic test is just one of dozens of possible interpretations, and to try to trace our lineage directly through our genes is "absurd", they claimed.

Private genetic tests have become big business in recent years, with many companies offering tests which claim to identify whether people are related to famous figures such as Napoleon or Cleopatra, or have DNA from specific racial groups.

Last year the website ancestry.com was valued at $1.6 billion (£1 billion) and at least 40 companies offer genetic ancestry tests around the world for prices between £30 and £300.

At the recent Who Do You Think You Are? Live roadshow in London, customers were offered a range of DNA tests claiming to determine whether they were related to Richard III or descended from Roman soldiers.

A warning about the accuracy of the tests was made by the Sense About Science campaign group, which said "such histories are either so general as to be personally meaningless or they are just speculation from thin evidence."

The warning was backed by a number of leading genetics experts. Steve Jones, Emeritus Professor of Human Genetics at UCL said: “On a long trudge through history – two parents, four great-grandparents, and so on – very soon everyone runs out of ancestors and has to share them.

"As a result, almost every Briton is a descendant of Viking hordes, Roman legions, African migrants, Indian Brahmins, or anyone else they fancy.”

His colleague Prof Mark Thomas said: "These claims are usually planted by the companies that provide these so-called tests and are not backed up by published scientific research. This is business, and the business is genetic astrology.”

Tracey Brown, Director of Sense About Science added: “Genetics researchers are telling us that you are better off digging around in your loft than doing a DNA ancestry test if you want to find out about your family tree."
