I do regret raising the issue because I am in a catch 22 situation. I will not identify the people involved.
I have no intention of hurting these people. I respect their rights to privacy. If you don’t believe me,
thats cool.

The facts that I stated are true!!

In regards to my being a deity, thank you.
The current model of membership into our Jewish club as defined by certain liberal sects’ “rules of law” does not resemble the model as we knew it prior to +/_1800.
With all due respect, Judaism is not the boy scouts.

You want to change the sweetner and still claim to be Coke Classic. I am not being defining people, I am simply stating the obvious. You changed the membership rules not me.
If I live the life of a commited Cuban Exile, does that make me a Cuban Exile?? Have I just taken “the role of a diety in defining that which god would accept as Cuban Exile and that which he/she/it would not” as Dahlia implies?

My point was that rewriting the laws that have existed for thousands of years is the cause of much divisivness.

Galit: What facts are being ignored? And which response has been leftis; certainly not one of mine. Also, who here is disrespecting their own heritage. It seems to me that you just identified a sincere problem with what you term “tradition observant judaism.” If someone converts, leaves their previous religion, and lives a life committed to Judaism, why would they not be considered Jewish? Perhaps the issue is that there are individuls who, as a humans, wish to take the role of a diety in defining that which god would accept as Jewish and that which he/she/it would not.

Do you finally admit it?

Shavua tov.

People who do not respect their own heritage will unlikely respect mine.

I suggest that if I was a Muslim, you would not be so quick to call me an idiot.

“Sorry, we don’t wanna die for Israel.” Which Americans are dying for Israel again? Oh, you think terrorists are attacking America because of Israel? Oh, right. See point 1 – you are still an idiot.

“then stop the aid, baby.” Yes, please! I’ve been calling for that for a while. It kind of pains me that I agree with Israel-haters, but in the end it’s good – people like chuck think that it will bring Israel to her knees. But it won’t – Israel will be all the better for it. American aid brings along American unwanted pressure. And the aid is 4% of Israel’s budget – not an insurmountable figure by any means. Getting rid of this crutch will make Israel stronger, walking on her own two feet. Case in point.

Sheesh.
