Not according to MANY Jews...in fact, not according to most of the Jews who consider other Jews not to be Jews (Hasidim, Orthodox).
Only approved conversions are Jews. Of course, given the money Ivanka paid, she is likely on the honor roll.
You're showing a lot of disdain for religious Jews. Also you threw in a bit of an antisemitic trope - "with the money Ivanka paid." It's an old antisemitic canard to say that Jews buy their way into things, and you're perpetuating it.
I'm going by the fact that, proportionately, Jews are victims of hate crimes more than blacks - meaning a Jew is more likely to be the target of a hate crime than a black person. (I myself have been victimized twice.)
In fact, they are victims more than Muslims. It's just that liberals tend to downplay (or outright deny) antisemitism and do not acknowledge the extent to which it exists.
This is different than your initial post. Yes, Jews are more likely to be victim of hate crimes than blacks.
Blacks are more likely to experience prejudice than Jews, however.
As everyone knows, there is a Jewish candidate (Bernie Sanders) running for the Democratic candidate in 2020 that has a pretty solid chance of winning the nomination. If they win the nomination and they're successful at beating Trump, they will become the first Jewish president in our country's history.
It will be a huge milestone to achieve after having recently elected our country's first African-American president. Unfortunately, there are a lot of anti-semitic folks in our nation who will not be willing to accept this and the hateful rhetoric and attacks will likely heat up big time if their chances of becoming president grow.
What are your thoughts? Is America ready for a Jewish president?
He isn't Jewish because he isn't religious. Anyway, who cares?
Too many people voted for Hillary simply because she's a woman. Too many voted for Obama simply because he is part African. Those are stupid reasons for voting for someone.

I can't believe that, in 2019, this is even a question. I thought we had come so far.
I remember when JFK ran, my own mom said "But he is a Catholic !" as if that was such a horrible thing. To hear that we are even concerned if our President is Jewish is beyond comprehension.
