Yes. Being born a Jew is being born into primordial category that transcends ideology. Regardless of how little a Jew knows about Judaism, they remain as Jewish as any Jew ever was or will be. They can try to convert to different religions or ideologies, but they will forever remain fundamentally a Jew. They have a Jewish mother and their essence is to connect to the One above through Torah and mitzvot.-consciously or unconsciously. That part is not a choice. What is a choice is how a person will live: their willingness to respect their conscience and the truth, and to speak the truth to their heart, acting on it.

You all laugh and praise him, but you should understand what this scumbag did to film Borat. Go watch the aftermath of the poor villagers, how they were tricked into thinking they were filming a documentary, how they got absolutely no money from it while he made millions at their expense, all the absurds things he said about them during the movie that they had no idea about. They welcomed him with open arms in a very small village community, no different than the ones inside America where there is this small group of people and they will recieve you with all the hospitality. This guy traveled to Europe and abused that privilege, he preyed on a group of people that barely has enough money to get by
