And yet Daniel Boyarin just published his own proof of a No-State Solution by way of Yale University Press which argues the opposite of the assimilationist paradigm here following by David Walters. In the No-state Solution he provides his own elaboration of how the Jewish People are a Nation, A Nation unlike other Nations, sui generis.

Judaism is a religion. It is the ONLY thing ties all those who describe themselves as "Jewish" together. There is IMO, no "Jewish People" as Mark B. noted above. Jewish-Americans are very simply "Americans" (in the vernacular we use in the U.S.). And in this sense no different than any other "American" including regional identification ("New York Jewish", etc). I have absolutely nothing in common, to site a real world example using myself with my Israeli cousins (around 20 of them). THEY are Israeli in every sense possible, I am not. I have a cousin in the UK also, they are totally "English". Meeting Moroccan Jews (who are Trotskyists in fact) in France only confirmed how meaningless the term "Jewish" means in any national sense whatsoever. � I'd argue two things. 1. "Israelis" are a nationality...or one is development grouped around their common identity in language (Modern Hebrew) and, their united in oppression of the indigenous Arab masses. 2. At one point in the past, the 18th Century through the Holocaust, Yiddish speaking Jews were a nationality in the most important ways (as against the entire RSDWP of Martov through Lenin beliefs) but it wouldn't of included, say, Hungarian Jews who in their majority, spoke German, or German Jews for the same reason. But no longer. That "People" no longer exist as a homogeneous regional nationality. A very abbreviated explanation of my POV.
