Then why would anyone claim that particular "symbol" falsely...why not just claim Pumpkin Head? Afterall, don't symbols stand for something? I know of many who falsely claim to be "Jews" and who know for a fact that they are making such a claim falsely and do so because it profits them one way or another. Consider, if someone has right to the IBM logo and fifteen others use it on their letterhead, there are at least fifteen poseurs, no? If John dies and leaves his estate to his son David, and ten show up to make the claim. Oh wait, David is just a symbol right? So it doesn't matter if only one of the ten are the son and nine are imposters? The real son and the judges just need to smoke some weed, chillax and be groovy allow splitting the estate 10 ways?
When the word "Jew" was first introduced into the English language in the 18th century its one and only implication, inference and innuendo was "Judean". During the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries a well-organized and well-financed international "pressure group" created a so-called "secondary meaning" for the word "Jew" among the English-speaking peoples of the world. This so-called "secondary meaning" for the word "Jew" bears no relation whatsoever to the 18th century original connotation of the word "Jew". It is a misrepresentation. -Benjamin Freedman
