[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel is the homeland of the Jews. One of Ivanka Trump’s children could become leader of this Jewish nation one day.[/quote]

One of Woody Allen’s children could become the leader of Israel some day. Not sure what your point is. [/quote]
So the ancestral ties thing is really a bunch of crap. If an Ivanka Trump had more kids with a nonjew, not one person in this equation has ties to Israel or its land.[/quote]

How does the fact that a minuscule number of converts immigrate to Israel somehow undermine the claim that Jews have ancestral ties to Israel? Judaism started in Israel. The vast majority of Jews are not converts. What is difficult to understand here, I’m not getting it.

Are you saying being Jewish isn’t an immutable characteristic so it’s all bullshit? People can convert to Judaism, yes, but the more relevant point is that ethnic Jews can’t really convert OUT of Judaism in a way that will shield them from discrimination. Even those who publicly disavow their faith or try to pass as Christians are persecuted (there are countless, countless examples of this during the Holocaust and throughout history). So Jewish ethnicity/ancestry is a salient category. [/quote]
