iling of the thread and I’m contributing to derail it further. Anyway, regarding the OP : if you were an Israeli generally supporting Netanyahu, you could send back your party card. But stating “I’m not a Jew anymore” because you disagree with some Israeli policy, hence equating Jewishness (is that a word???) with Israel’s policies is IMO part of the problem. ---

Read the link - most if not all “rights of return” are afforded to people with no material connections to the territory. It is so. In every case an exercise of the right of return is about a ‘return’. Either to the country of the person’s birth, or former residence; or that of a recent ancestor. In other words there is a material connection by soil or through the blood {_soli or sangui_}. Every case except Israel, which wouldn’t be so bad, except that Israel goes further, excluding the right of return from those who would exercise it based on ancestry or residence. It is only for Jews. ---

It is only for Jews. Are you ignoring his Germany link on purpose? Or do you just enjoy being wrong? And it’s not as if the law is saying only Jews can become Israelis. It’s just that Jews have a shortcut. You know what other shortcuts like that exist? Minorities can get into American colleges more easily than whites. Oh no! Let’s organize a lynching party! ---

The Jewishness of Israel ?? REALLY ??? > > Fuck you, you political fascist. Fuck you, you inhuman **and** inhumane bastard.
