I love you ethnic-blind Arabs who ban land sales to Jews in every state of yours, indeed whose every state is officially called “Arab”

Well, in the USA they date every formal declaration of law “in the year of our lord”.

I have just re-read the previous posts and realized the success of a democracy is not only one person-one vote, a free press and an independent judiciary, but a shared nationalistic goal for most of the people. Here in the United States we recently had an example of legal and illegal Mexicans parading through the streets waving Mexican flags, demanding voting rights, the right to open bank accounts, driver’s licenses, and in some cases, shouting that they want California, Texas and New Mexico returned to Mexico.
.
Sadly, I can envision someday a large (if not majority) Arab population, citizens of Israel, marching through the cities of Israel, demanding part or all of Israel to be returned to Palestine.
.
A successful Democracy requires a homogenous belief in nationalism.

By International Law (which most people seem to have forgotten) Israel is a Jewish State.
As such its instruments of statehood are all Jewish.
The flag is a tallit (a prayer shawl) with the shield of David (a King of Israel) in the centre.
So the national anthem is explicitly Jewish, good.
Arabs dont need to sing the anthem. Better still they can go and live in one of the other 21 Islamic states where they can worship their warped version of God without any Jews anywhere near them.

Rabbi Kahane said Vanunu did a positive job of publicizing Israel’s nuclear capability, and he wanted Mordechai Vanunu out of jail.

But Ashkenazim Jews are a product of 4 jewish men who married converted girls. I think also that has to do with yes… some would say luck, other would predestination. Who said Vanunu was a good jew, even his parents were both jews? On the other side Davids mother was a converted gentile.

As an American, middle-class, suburban, non-observant, Jew, I can tell you of that which I’ve seen in the past 75 years relevant to inter-marriage in the communities in which I’ve lived.
.
Conversion results in Jewish observant children less than half the time. Rule: no child is more observant than the least observant parent.
.
Without conversion, but a promise to “raise the children Jewish,” results in children who don’t know who and what they are and they most likely will marry Goyim…asking, “After all, if it was O.K. for Dad, why not me?”

Analytics: You have two issues here. Can you be sure the girl would still be willing to raise your children Jewish ten years from the first date? How would other Jews perceive your family, as your children will have to marry other Jews eventually and anyway Jews are a community?
So in practice a verbal commitment from the girl is insufficient but conversion is a must. Because conversion is years-long process, you can theoretically settle for marrying a girl some months into giyur, though perhaps no decent rabbi would confirm this view.

“You can do it, just with your Love.”

Idealistic claptrap.
