The Law of Return is killing us. We are slowly losing our country to the non-Jewish descendants of Indians and Cossacks who may have slept with a Jew on one or two occasions. Our absorption centers are absorbing the lowest forms of gentile trash from Europe and South America, welfare recipients who came to Israel because the government gave them money to come.
The government doesn't give a damn about the question of who is a Jew. As they see it, it throws a curious monkey wrench into issues of religion and state, and undermines the Halachah. It's also a great way to neutralize the influence of religious olim who, for the most part, are the ones making aliyah today. It's also a way to ignore the threat of a rising Arab population and low Jewish birthrate. Instead of throwing them out and encouraging Jews to have children, they bring in fake Jews. They would declare that penguins are Jewish, if the penguin community would oblige.
It's an outrage that "religious Jews" aren't raising the issue. (Of course it's also outrageous that religious Jews don't demand the transfer of the Arabs.) The chareidim don't give a damn because they even have disdain for genuine converts. They don't see a difference between a ger tzedek and a false conversion and they would never allow their children to marry a convert. Within the four cubits of their shtetls, converts are something you read about in the Talmud. All they care about is draft deferments and money. Am Yisroel, Medinat Yisroel, that's not their problem.
Do you like klezmer music and bagels?
Maybe Israel should adopt Lenny Bruce's definition of a Jew. You know his famous bit."Blacks and Italians are Jewish. The Irish are goyish. Rye bread is Jewish. White bread is goyish." That's where we are heading. It's bad enough that we have Jews who act like goyim. Now, in addition to the Arabs, we have to contend with a problem whose import will soon become even clearer to us.

ReplyDeleteIt's worse than you think. I have heard reports of actual recruiting of goyim in the Ukraine. Don't forget, they also get money for school.
I was told point blank, in English, by one of these individuals while I was living in an absorption center that he wasn't Jewish, didn't want to learn Hebrew, was here for his free degree, then he was off to Canada.
Indians? I hope you're not referring to India where there are two very old Jewish communities, the Cochinim and the B'nei Yisrael {who will be living in fear in Mumbai until they make aliyah}.
The B'nei Menashe are a different story. They may claim that they are descendants of the Shanghai community, and before that, the Tribe of Menashe, they don't make any bones about converting, and are serious. In fact, they are the reason, the sheigetz Shinu'i Party Interior Minister initiated the freeze on aliyah from India. Bnei Menashe are mostly right wing, vote right wing, are religious, and live in Judea and Samaria, and previously in Neve Deqalim. He initiated a freeze on aliyah from Peru as well. Most Peruvian olim live in Tapuah, Elon More, Bet El, and Eli. You do the math.
