The American Jewish Committee issued a statement that read: 'Black Hebrew Israelites chanting 'We are the real Jews' is a troubling antisemitic trope with dangerous potential.

As both sides want to be "real Jews" maybe the AJC should instead view it as an opportunity for Jewish ecumenism and evangelization.

Black Hebrew Israelites are the equivalent of Christian Identity (White Nationalists) and they both share many of the same ideas of what we Jews are. I deal with both sides on a regular basis. Most are allergic to facts. On Saturday, I was arguing with one pinting out the fact that Samaritans and European Jews carried similar Y-Chromosomal alleles. His response was to quote a Jewish communist book, which never addressed genetics, and then note that half the authors of the study are Jews, so its fake.
