For my own curiosity, can you tell me how they are all Irish? First time I've heard such a thing..
We are reasonably well informed concerning the Irish elements of President Bush's ancestry as a result of the research performed in relation to his father, President George Bush Senior. One of President George W Bush's five times great-grandfathers, William Holliday, was born in Rathfriland, Co Down, about 1755, and died in Kentucky about 1811-12. One of the President's seven times great-grandfathers, William Shannon, was born somewhere in Co Cork about 1730, and died in Pennsylvania in 1784. It has also recently been claimed that on his mother's side, another of the President's ancestors, one William Gault, resident in Tennessee in 1796, may have been born in Co Antrim, but evidence for this is not yet to hand.
TRUE TORAH JEWS AGAINST ZIONISM - OUR MISSION
The relatively new concept of Zionism began only about one hundred years ago and since that time Torah-true Jewry has steadfastly opposed the Zionist ideology. This struggle is rooted in two convictions:
Zionism, by advocating a political and military end to the Jewish exile, denies the very essence of our Diaspora existence. We are in exile by Divine Decree and may emerge from exile solely via Divine Redemption. All human efforts to alter a metaphysical reality are doomed to end in failure and bloodshed. History has clearly borne out this teaching.
Zionism has not only denied our fundamental belief in Heavenly Redemption it has also created a pseudo-Judaism which views the essence of our identity to be a secular nationalism. Accordingly, Zionism and the Israeli state have consistently endeavored, via persuasion and coercion, to replace a Divine and Torah centered understanding of our people hood with an armed materialism.
True Torah Jews is dedicated to informing the world and in particular the American public and politicians that all Jews do not support the ideology of the Zionist state called "Israel" which is diametrically opposite to the teachings of traditional Judaism.
We are concerned that the widespread misconception that all Jews support the zionist state and its actions endangers Jews worldwide.
We are NOT politically motivated. We are motivated by our concern for the peace and safety of all people throughout the world including those living in the Zionist state. We support and pray for peace for the people of the Zionist state but have no interest in and do not support the Zionist government.
He's BSing you in that he is implying that 22 presidents were in fact IRISH - this is not true!............just because there might be trace of Irish blood in a particular individual that does NOT mean they were Irish.

What, in your opinion, would make someone Jewish?
A Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew or any person who has
gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism.
It is important to note that being a Jew has nothing to do with what
you believe or what you do. A person born to non-Jewish parents who
has not undergone the formal process of conversion but who believes
everything that Orthodox Jews believe and observes every law and
custom of Judaism is still a non-Jew, even in the eyes of the most
liberal movements of Judaism, and a person born to a Jewish mother
who is an atheist and never practices the Jewish religion is still a
Jew, even in the eyes of the ultra-Orthodox. In this sense, Judaism
is more like a nationality than like other religions, and being
Jewish is like a citizenship.

By this definition, are the people described in the OP Jewish?

I chanced upon this book at a YMCA book fare a couple months ago. I wasn’t sure what it was – a serious book or something humorous, but the title was attractive to this American with Irish roots. It turned out to be a serious book of history, but written with a good deal of wit, cleverness and a strong dose of insouciance, all of which I enjoyed. I found the book to be grippingly interesting, utterly fascinating, good reading despite the seriousness of the ancient history, but much more like a book of essays that a single developed thesis.
The title of the book is also the title of the key and longest essay, and the earlier chapters certainly set the stage for the main thesis, but do come across as separate pieces on their own. I came away from the book delighted with what I had read, but feeling as though I had read several loosely related “set-up” essays which gave richness and detail to the background of the main thesis.
No matter of the structure. It is a delightful read and I recommend it for all. The claim that the Irish “saved civilization” is a bit of a limited claim. It isn’t so much “civilization” that gets saved as a huge portion of the body of literature from Western antiquity that was saved by the patient, if playful, Irish monks, who, from the 6th century onward, copied these texts preserving them for posterity, often becoming the dominant and/or only such texts which survived the Dark and Medieval ages.
The supportive essays trace the conditions that led to the fall of Rome, the role of Augustine of Hippo in developing and preserving a “westernized” Christianity, an early and later history of St. Patrick and his role in establishing the body a somewhat different “Irish Catholicism” and the institutions of the Irish monasteries of the mid 5th century.
Below, more for my memory than anything else, I summarize these various essays.
The book is a great read, I highly recommend it to all.
