You are incorrect, starting from the distinction you draw between Jews
and Israelites. Everything based on this belief is similarly
incorrect.

This does not contradict what I said.

It should be noted that the word "race" here is John's addition, and
not a paraphrase of anything actually written in Zechariah 9:6.

One is left to wonder if John actually reads what he posts, or if he
simply deludes himself that it all supports his beliefs...
>A BASTARD IS THE OFFSPRING OF AN INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE
...because it didn't say this anywhere in anything he quoted.

On John's planet, if you're not yourself in an interracial marriage,
you do not support interracial marriage. This is truly a unique
definition of support.
