 Jews Harp
Jews harps" to be given "to young men," and one in the latter, “6 Dos.
The jews harp was extremely popular as a children's toy in the United States around the turn of the 19th century, and Lewis and Clark may have included it among their Indian gifts because they guessed it would appeal to Indian kids too.
Elijah Criswell claims: "It is well known that the Jew's harp bears a close resemblance to the human larynx." No such comparison is to be found in any of the standard histories of musical instruments, and the one has neither an anatomical nor an etymological connection with the other.

 Jacob Kavunkal, SVD - The Impact of Medellin and Puebla on Asian Theology
Asian theologians strive to integrate their pluralistic experience with their faith and mission which differentiates Asian theology from the rest of the local theologies evolved in the context of one culture and one religion.
Asian theology is the interface of religious and cultural pluralism with the Gospel.

The reason is simple, folks: since WWII ended, Jews have worked overtime trying to make all Whites think that Jews are "only a religion." Now, all government forms, census forms, etc. refer to Jews only as a religion, like Catholic, Protestant, etc.

 Post-Zionism and the Sephardi Question - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2005
One of the main complaints of this radical intellectual school is the belief that Zionism destroyed the Mizrahi sense of community and culture by forcing the adoption of new "Zionist" and "Israeli" identities so as to eradicate any threat of a Mizrahi-Arab alliance.
Frankenstein expressed outright racist attitudes towards Mizrahim, writing, "We have to recognize the primitive mentality of many of the immigrants from backward countries."[14] He further suggested that Mizrahi Jews have the mentality of primitive people who are somewhat mentally disturbed.
Their argument is that the Mizrahim need to break the chains of enslavement in Israel and declare themselves as Arab Jews in order to liberate themselves and revive their self-definition and self-respect.
