How is this argument any different from white supremacists who are opposed to inter-racial marriage?https://twitter.com/rmolot/status/1119576688206196737 …

Why aren’t their children ‘pure’ enough to still be part of the tribe? Why can’t they be accepted and ADD to that 12M? Because they’re tainted w non-Jew blood? Do you see how that’s a stance that should be criticized? It’s not immune from criticism because its religious.

Reform Jews have moved beyond that archaic thinking because they’ve recognized how it is wrong for many reasons. Hopefully Ben will realize that too. And even if he doesn’t, it’s not going to stop all of us from responding and criticizing it.

@YasMohammedxx You're spot on. It doesn't matter how this attitude was born, it's straight-up Jewish Supremacy. It's one thing to have a preference, which most cultures do, but to then not go to the wedding, shun the union, etc. is bigotry, period. -
Have a personal preference, sure...of course! But the problem is when you expect everyone to have the same preferences as you and you hurt family members who do not abide by your preferences. This goes for a family member marrying a nonJew or a gay person. Just celebrate w them!

He is basically saying that he should be free to hold the views he holds. You're twisting that to say that he's demanding others accept his views. That's a complete misrepresentation of his statement. I for one don't agree with his view, but he should have the freedom to have it.

Jews are a minority throughout most of the world. Intermarriage results in assimilation and demographic decline. Objecting to this is arguably somewhat different to a majority objecting to intermarriage with a minority group.

I can see the merit of the argument you are trying to make but if all Diaspora Jews intermarry, they will disappear.

Reform Jews also don't observe Shabbat or Kosher rules or a lot of other things in Judaism so this comment isn't very persuasive.

Jokes aside, I think you will find this is true amongst many religious groups. Marrying outside can lead to separation from the tribe and I have seen it in the Sikh community.
