Racism App: New iPhone application: 'Who is a Jew and who is not'

IPhone app discover who celebs Jew. Organization of anti - racist scandal says it already. Key (the Jew) says it's just for fun 


Variety of search options App-Semitic or sympathetic application specifically Jewish? That's what many are trying to decide for the application of "Jew or gentile?" (Jew or Not a Jew?) Which have been added last month to an Apple store. The application allows users to enter a celebrity's name and get an answer if it is a celebrity son of Moses and Israel, or not - including details of whether it comes to Jews on both sides or only one side of the parents. The application, the price of dollars, created a French developer - British called Jonathan Levi, that they can understand probably not antisemitic and likely not made the software so that people know who to watch. "I do not speak for all Jews, but as a Jew I know that our community often we ask whether someone is Jewish or not. There is not anything negative, on the contrary, it is pride," explained the rationale behind the application, and said that its purpose is to entertain. French anti-racism organization called SOS Racisme is not impressed with the key identity and intent.He is outraged about the existence of the application and require Apple to remove it from the store, claiming it violates the laws of France, prohibiting collection of personal information about individuals without their consent, including race, religion and sexual orientation. Even the Jewish organization - CRIF joins French opponents, and President Richard Frskooir this call to remove the app store. "It's not only shocking, but also illegal. If someone wants something as personal as his faith will remain private - it must remain so," he declared. France are particularly sensitive issue of religious identity clarification, after the storm occurred in February this year when it became clear the Autocomplete feature of Google in France the habit of offering to complete the names of politicians with the word "Jew". Reference given to the application site that displays applications related to Judaism emphasizes that not only is racism against Jews, but also did not reverse racism, anti-Gentile. 
"The application is intended for fun and nothing else. Is not intended to demonstrate superiority over any other racial group. It just shows that with hard work, many Jews managed, often from immigrant families, to get recognition."


Apple, for its part, has not yet responded to the demand of removal and not commented on the matte
