Talk:List of Asian Jews

message: Whoever came up with this list has apparently forgotten that Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Cyprus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran are ALL IN ASIA!
The term 'Asia,' in fact, originally meant the area now called Mesopotamia.
Otherwise, ALL JEWS ARE ASIAN!!!

message: Can anyone confirm whether Sinetron actress Cornelia Agatha is Jewish as claimed? (Couldn't find anything in English, and I don't speak Bahasa Indonesia.) Udzu 13:26, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I've heard that her Jewish blood came from her grandma (maternal or paternal?). Unfortunately, you don't read Bahasa Indonesia, because Google could provide some informations about her racial makeups. Try the keyword "Cornelia Agatha Yahudi" on Google for those who are able to read Bahasa Indonesia. W3bu53r
The Dalai Lama? Can someone provide further explanation considering I couldn't find any on the current Dalai Lama's page or the page on Dalai Lamas in general. Was he Jewish during a previous incarnation or will be be incarnated as a Jew in the future? Either way, in my opinion, if those are the reasons, claiming him as a Jew is somewhat dubious.

message: Isn't Georgia considered to be in Eastern Europe? In least I don't recall it being East of the Urals.--T. Anthony 14:12, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's too far south to be in Europe.  After all, Turkey isn't East of the Urals either.--Runcorn 18:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, if I can slip in. Georgia is considered to be part of Europe. In Georgia (country) it is written "Culturally, historically, and politically Georgia is considered part of Europe" Maybe not geographically, but Iceland isn't geographically in Europe either. ----Tellerman
Wikipedia should never be cited as a source elsewhere in Wikipedia.  The definition of Europe usually used is "that part of Eurasia to the west of the Ural Mountains, north of the Caucasus Mountains and north of the Sea of Marmara" (The Hutchinson Factfinder, 2nd ed 1994, p.551).  The Caucasus form the northern boundary of Georgia.--Runcorn 00:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm not using it as a source, I'm just saying what is already asserted in wikipedia. It doesn't make much sense to say Georgia is European in one part of wikipedia, but isn't in another. The Caucasus split Georgia almost in half. Why should Georgia, just because a part of it is outside the boundaries of what is sometimes defined as Europe not be included when Iceland, which by many standards, it also outside the boundaries of Europe is included? Personally, I'd maybe place it as "the Caucasus" much in the same way that Arabian lands are placed in their own category (not Asia), but that might not be legitimate. ----Tellerman
Please feel free to amend the Georgia article.  Philips' Concise World Atlas specifically marks Iceland as in Europe and Georgia as outside.  We go by what reliable sources say.--Runcorn 12:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Korean Jews are totally unrepresented in this list. this i know there are asian jews, ive seen them. someone put up some koreans.
* The problem is coming up with a "noteworthy" Korean Jew. The best I could find was Victoria Namkung who is a freelance writer based in Los Angeles, writing for InStyle, Los Angeles, and Mavin, a magazine celebrating the mixed race experience. Grika Ⓣ 16:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: It might not matter whether someone "considers" them self Jewish or not if the lineage is to be followed. On the other hand, some would say the line was broken when his fater married a non-Jew. In any case, whatever is decided about Ayako Fujitani should also apply to Kentaro Seagal.

message: Was previously listed under Kyrgyzstan, and removed by me, because he had no connection to Kyrgyzstan at all.  The person who added him was probably confused about the location of Tyumen (where Berlin may or may not have been born), which is in Russian Siberia.  Whether or not we should include individuals from the Russian portion of Asia would be separate matter.--Pharos (talk) 08:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Can someone tell me why is she on this list? She is Japanese and definatelly not Jewish. The fact that she married a Jewish man, does not make her to be Jewish. I think she should be removed from this list.

message: Hello! I would like to amend a little discrepancy in the article. Lev Landau was a Russian-speaking Ashkenazi Jew who lived in Azerbaijan as a child. He was not a member of a Turkic-speaking community. It is not correct to consider him as a person with a Mountain Jews’ origin. These Jewish diasporas are different.--Apr1 (talk) 08:14, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
