The Central Conference of American Rabbis has decried the proposed loyalty oath as contrary to Israel’s democratic character.
Little do they know about Talmud. Tractate Sanhedrin 26a tells the story of the Assyrians coming to besiege Jerusalem. Shevna, a high-placed official, assembled a party in favor of surrender. King Hezekiah opposed the surrender, but his party was smaller. The prophet Isaiah commented, “Do not speak of the group that these people speak of, as a group.” Even though they are a majority, we do not follow them because they are wicked, and when there is a consensus among the wicked against the Torah, we do not follow them.
So much about democracy and Jewish values in normative Judaism.
The contradiction between “Democratic” and “Jewish” has a very simple logical solution.
Only Jews should be holding citizenship in a Jewish state.
Then it will be both democratic and Jewish.
The Arabs can be guests, or they can leave, if they don’t like living in a Jewish state.
If they are sincere, and willing to live as Jews and fight for the Jewish state against their genocidal brothers, they should be welcomed to the Jewish nation. (This would probably be a very small number.)
I agree completely. Israel by definition is a Jewish state despite the denial of the rest of the world. Non Jewish citizens will either have to leave or gain residency status by Visa, or convert. There are a large number of Arabic countries. Palestinians are Arabs without a homeland….Israel is not their homeland. They have a variety of options depending on whether one prefers pyramids or war hungry nations with nuclear technology and insane leadership. These Palestinians can go north, south, east, or west of Israel. They can head in the direction of Mecca their holy land. The small state of Israel which is about the size of New Jersey is the one and only home of the Jews…..Jewish by divine right and present might.
this ‘must’ has nothing to do with ‘democratic character’ of Israel;the only True of this ‘must’,is because this world has not make 1 single step from cannibalism/nonhuman stage.
We must never let are Oath of Loyalty be eroded or that of your Faith,as we have done in the Western World.and are now paying a high price for the continuations of deeds that allows these Satanic peoples into are Country. But do help them with there Departure to Travel back to there Beloved Eastern World.Not those of the West,these Kingdom of Nations will live longer that way as the Pressure Cooker gathers steam.
“Little do they know of the Talmud”? Is it even on their curriculum? Oh, yes, it appears that one semester of Talmud study is actually standard.
