What, is this going to be one of those "_real_ [enter group-name here] do [enter activities that are irrelevant to the definition of the group here]" debates?

An atheist is someone that doesn't believe in any God or ruling deity. Whether he is proud of it or ashamed of it, whether he yells it out loud, or thinks it quietly, to himself.

Disclaimer: I'm an Israeli, and a born Jewish (although today I no longer describe myself as a Jewish person, I'm an Atheist).
I believe the answer to your question is Yes.

Judaism has been considered in older times to be an Anti-Human religion for many reasons, the most basic ones are that according to Jewish rules and mythology all Gentiles (Non-Jews) are lesser by nature then Jews (!); meaning they have less rights and liberties, and could be hurt for almost trivial reasons (this statement can be backed easily with quotes from Hebrew sources, I hope this summerizied English version will suffice to make my point).

This point (Gentiles are lesser then Jews) is ofcourse the Nazi point reversed - the Jewish People, as well as the Nazi dogma believe that Jews are a different race from all other mankind (one says a lower race, and the other a higher race; one has pseudo-scientific reason, and the other a theological one; The main argument and logic are the same none-the-less).

Zionism is Racism. Pure and simple. The Zionist idea of a Jewish nation is a falsehood, as well as the Zionist impression of a "People-less Land for a Land-less People" (David Ben-Gurion) - and both are racist. Zionism is a classic 19th century colonialistic and romantic movement, not much different then the movement that spawned Fascism and Nazism, with many similarities to both. In Zionism all the moral deficiencies of Judaism manifest, and the fact that the Jewish people now has the authority and power to execute their sub-conscience racist dogma should worry us all.

The US Media serve US interest (ie - MegaCorp. interest), ultimatly siding with the Israeli prespective for mostly ecomonical reasons. I hope that independent news sources, such as weblogs, will try and maintain a more equal stance, thus benefiting all parties involved.

Sorry for my English mistakes. Gilad Deneboom.

Is Judaism simply a religion of lawless racists?

I don't believe in God. Any of them. Not even the pagan ones.
That makes me an atheist, whether I use Passover as an excuse to have a big meal with the folks, and endure a few half-assed attempts at the Passover ceremony, or not.
