The fact that the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that <br />Max Feinberg and his wife were within their rights to disinherit any grandchildren who marry outside faith is curious. Seems like you can put just about anything in a will, huh? I also hope the case goes to the U.S. Supreme Court and I agree that the case seems racist. <br />Thanks for commenting!<br />AliciaCappuccino Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103319691096956039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-79588993311381369932009-10-15T10:08:36.540-04:002009-10-15T10:08:36.540-04:00this is a good take on the issue and as you said i...this is a good take on the issue and as you said it seemed like not a smart thing to do. i have posted a link to the illinois supreme court's decision to uphold what the jewish advert was talking about. this infringes on the 4th amendement and i hope it goes right to washington dc supreme court. americans should not support this kind of racist shenaniganmyabubakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056617693256572481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-38273396047627663912009-10-12T10:27:24.671-04:002009-10-12T10:27:24.671-04:00Shaun,

I find the practical concerns that Israeli's have for pushing the campaign unsettling. What will happen next? Will they make it illegal for a Jew to marry a non-Jew? I hope not.<br />Thanks for commenting!

And when I answered in the negative, the conversation was basically over. So, there is already a fair bit of self selection going on there already.<br />Of course, if they are really interested in preserving Jewish DNA, the Israelis would have been a lot more scrutinizing of the onslaught of Russian "Jews" who have immigrated over the last couple decades. After the USSR broke up, loads of Russians and Eastern Europeans discovered their previously forgotten Jewishness, which came with a free trip to Israel, Israeli citizenship, and assistance setting up shop in the country. Which is a heckuva better deal than they were getting in Russia. Not to say that every one of those who emigrated was faking it, but it was well known in Israel that many were. But it was allowed because it bolstered the Jews' numbers against the Muslims in Israel (yes, Israel, not the West Bank) where they will outnumber Jews in the next twenty years if current trends continue. So, there are very practical concerns the Israelis are pushing in this campaign. I don't completely fault them, but I would never conduct my love life in line with a political campaign. <br />Ultimately, I must agree with Dr. King, who said, "Hearts know only other hearts."PatricktheRoguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405925786857085350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-72685715942103090902009-09-24T21:19:55.839-04:002009-09-24T21:19:55.839-04:00Kwame,
