In reply to the discussion: Is AIPAC trying to silence criticism of Israel? [View all]Celerity
(55,073 posts)gotcha question, some sort of litmus test, as if only people who meet your qualifications can comment.
You do not have the right to come up on this board and after a very short time here demand people to give you answers about very personal things, especially when the question was designed to try and falsely delegitimate.
I have always been open about my life's multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-national (born in the US in Los Angeles, raised in west London, now live in Stockholm Sweden, and as my father is Swedish, I have tripartite citizenship) background over my 6 plus years here on DU.
My grandmum (she is, as is my mum, from Barbados) is half Sephardic (via Portugal, through her mum, my great grandmother) Jewish and is a practising Jew. My mother and I are both atheists, so are not practising.
You do not have the right to try and take away my self-agency, my right to self-definition.
And I repeat, do not ever tell me to stay in my lane again, on any issue. I do take orders from you.
