EIther i'm not making myself clear or you are misunderstanding me, I am agreeing with you in a roundabout way. The only execption being that I can understand the different viewpoints.
Something like over 50% of JEws in Israel are Sabra's however datiing from the formation of Israel as a state that could mean anyone who was born after the 1947 formation. A Sabra is some born in Israel. Personally I don't see any religious affiliation as an ethnicity, if that were the case id be Anglican ethnically which is stupid.
