“Criticizing Israel is criticizing Jewish right to exist”

    I didn't realize that you can't convert to Judaism.

    You can go into literally any church and walk out a Christian after 1 service. Jewish converts have a long, hard process and are treated as outsiders even after the conversion. Gentiles are often advised against conversion and told to just live by the law. The fact that you don't know this makes me think you're just a debatebro nerd.

    Did you want to explain how they are genetically distinct, to counter the argument you responded to? What is shared among them that makes them distinct from the Palestinians?

    The whole "Jews are genetically distinct" is a counter-argument to the idea that Judaism is a religion and not an ethnicity. You would know this if you had understood the context. Modern Palestinians are the closest group to Jews, I never claimed otherwise.
