If that possibility is a fact (and I believe it is), then there will soon be something else to argue about judging by the amount of property snatches in the Northern side of the island.

We may soon be lumbered with a third classification , a J/C, Jewish Cypriot.

If that ever happens we will ALL soon be in deep trouble.

Hello Eliko, found this online:

The only rabbi in Cyprus, Rabbi Arie Ze’ev Raskin, 29, originally arrived from Israel in Cyprus in 2003 as an emissary of Chabad-Lubavitch. He was sent on the island to help stimulate a Jewish revival. He is with his wife Shaindel and their four children the only observant Jews in Cyprus.

On September 13, 2005, the Jewish community inaugurated the island's first synagogue and mikveh (ritual bath) in the seaside city of Larnaca.

Some 300 Jewish families, about 1,800 Jews, live today in Cyprus, many of whom arrived in recent years for business. Half of them are Israelis, the rest are mostly British or Russians.

I am not Jew but I'm interested in their history, present, culture, mentality
There are many Jews you'd never say they are not "..." put whatever, I mean it's nearly impossible to recognise their origin

But they are people saying "They have something special and I can "feel" a Jew without any doubts
Obviously, it's something different than "feeling a black person...." must be something more specific

I'd better not to start a conversation to be not condemned as a racist..but I find it interesting anyway

I am not calling anybody racist. If for instance I was to listen to just black music, black television shows, engage in black culture I too would feel black. But since I am Greek that's what I feel, Greek that is. Whilst you were growing up a train of thought, or maybe your environment caused you to feel like something your not.

A simple solution would be to re-educate yourself on your roots and appreciate what you are.
