...are all states created as a homeland for a particular ethnic group, yet only one ethnic group is criticized for it. ๐ค
Jewish people aren't an ethnic group any more than Christians, Muslims, Buddhists etc.
Judaism is simply a religion.
Edit: Well TIL. Apologies, I didn't mean to appear ignorant. Thank you to the people who have pointed out my misunderstanding. I will be reading more about this and try to get a better grasp on this topic.
We absolutely are. Defining Judaism as a religion alone is ignorant and christocentric.
Judaism has always been a people of a singular national identity, defined by common origin, language, history, sense of identity, culture, folklore, music, clothing, cuisine, etc.
No. National identity is a relatively modern idea for any group of people. Being Jewish is being part of a culture, not a nation.
