SEcond, the “Jewish State” is corrupted through and through. The sign is the corruption of language “present absentee” “unrecognized village” “disputed territories” “democracy” These are all ridiculous circumlocutions regularly in play in Israel.

“The Jewish State has not wronged the Palestinians.” If this were true, then land theft, property theft, torture and murder are not “wrongs.” The Jewish State and the Jewish people, including you and me presumably, have grievously wronged an innocent people for the purpose of taking their patrimony from them. If ever a people had the RIGHT to hate another, if ever ever, the Palestinians have the right to hate Jews. And yet they do not. They want justice, not revenge. If Jews can extort money from European governments ala holocaust, then Pals have claim to huge reparations for their suffering. Jewish money should be paying this, not building settlements housing ugly supremacists and racists.

I would say you are little slow on the upbeat here. I would say this, but I suspect you are not a person, as such, but some hack hired to push back as best you can.

BTW — the Israel you enjoyed and inspired you (false feelings) was built on stolen property. It is not biblical Israel, but a racist piece of dung, an embarrassment to Judaism. I predict it, not guys like me, will destroy Judaism because Zionism is incompatible with Judaism, or least a universalist interpretation of Judaism, the only kind that should survive.

The problem is, what Rabbi would convert them unless they could find one who is a converso him/herself?

How does Israel decide if one is Jewish? They look at the antecedents which is the primary route to citizenship among immigrants I am sure. Conversion has to be a distant second, if that.

I know its not earth-shaking but the oxymoron of the phrases I set out hit me as a surprise, I mean the surprise was, to me, that they were so completely transparent. Do you or anyone here have any sense of that transparency or is someone going to quibble about the fine points? It’s just so obvious and unacceptable one wonders why anyone tolerated this doubletalk at all or continues to tolerate it,

If a convert can make aliyah, then why don’t at least some Palestinians (a good number) convert officially and claim citizenship? Conversion would then bring with it the right of return.

Yes, Jewish converts can make aliyah. All they need is a document from their rabbi attesting to their conversion. Don’t you understand that many Israelis are either converts or the descendants of converts?

My best friend is a Jewish convert, and is also one of the most dedicated anti-zionist activists I know.

Incidentally, a Jew from anywhere is automatically a citizen of Israel upon election. Is a converted Jew also covered by this law?

Lastly, and just for fun, I want people to think about the following oxymoron: “American Zionist,” “dual loyalty” and “liberal Zionist.” People tolerate this doubletalk: Americans have been “had”, “snookered”, abused and cheated by these Zionists.
