> But to say 'Most Jews are lunatics' is absolutely beyond the pale.

The misquote here does not feel accidental.

I said:

> We’re not allowed to criticise Israel because most jews are lunatics that consider such criticism an antisemitic attack on their person

If “Most Jews consider criticism of Israel to be an attack on their person” is true, then it certainly follows that “Most Jews are lunatics”.

> You could even make the case that most religious people had no choice in their adoption of that religion, but most people have the theoretical option of letting go of their religion if they so desire, but you can not stop being a Jew

Yes, I am aware that some people choose to believe this. However, outside of a specific religious community people will generally not consider you to be a Jew unless you identify as such.

I personally am not religious and therefore don’t subscribe to the belief that people can’t stop being Jews.
