    It popped up when I searched what happens to Jewish identity upon conversion.

    This Chabad post makes Judaism sound like a Gang. Once you’re inducted, you can never leave.

    https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1269075/jewish/Is-a-Jew-Who-Converts-Still-Jewish.htm

    Is a Jew Who Converts Still Jewish?

    My sister was baptized and has since married and had a child. My mother claims the child is Jewish, but how could that be? If Judaism is a religion, if someone leaves it, she’s no longer Jewish, right?

    Response
    ….

    Which brings us to your case, where a Jewish woman has joined another religion and married a non-Jew. In this instance, as well, since Jewishness is matrilineal, her children are considered Jewish.5

    Apparently, Jewishness is about neither religion nor race. Unlike a race, you can get in, but unlike religion, once you’re in you can’t get out. As with Achan, once you are a part of this people, you are the entire people. As Israel is eternal, so your bond with them is irreversible, unbreakable and eternal.

    if I'm reading correctly, nothing to do with Gaza.

    I never opened my mouth about a ceasefire. What the hell are you talking about?

    You keep talking about "smarter ways" to eradicate Hamas. You also believe all the Pallywood numbers, and the fake UN crap confirming Pallywood.

    Israel needs to finish the job.

    They have now encircled the terrorists. The hostage situation makes it tricky, but good will prevail against evil.

    @basso

    does anyone here know the history of the Middle East ?
    I’m talking like pre Jesus

    these people only know war and religion

    anyone heard of the ottoman and Persian empires ?

    somehow these people went backwards with their religions and the West and Asian passed them up with technology and innovation .

    we all know that gas and oil are the real reason any has interest there.

    do woke people know Iraq and Iran went to war ?
    Or how Egypt use to be advanced when the ancient aliens were kings now they just make money off tourists to the pyramids ?

    the only thing that they respect is power and war . Israel beat Egypt and Jordan and they immediately signed peace treaties cause they don’t want to get beaten like dogs again

    I haven't used their numbers. I specifically said that I wasn't using them despite the historical comparison. Also, smarter ways to eliminate them isn't saying do a ceasefire.

    You are making crap up. You're need to try and atrribute false crap to people who disagree with you is bizarre.

    Could you please elaborate what the smarter way to eliminate them is, in your mind?

    The US did better on Fallujah. Use those methods. I'm not going to pretend to be a military expert, but special forces have taken out terrorists from known locations rather than massive bomb or artillery strikes.

    Find a way to provide enough incentive to the Palestinians so they get rid of Hamas. They can do it with much fewer civilian casualties and if there are civilian casualties, it doesn't build up additional resentment toward Israel which only leads to further aggression and less security in the future.

    There are a number of options.

    This is all not only very vague, but incredibly naive.

    Yes, we know. The only that isn't naive is to keep doing things the same way that hasn't brought Israel additional security, and will also cost more innocents their lives.

    You're a real problem solver.

    Too many of "them". Geez, this old man has Nazi German blood running through his veins. I agree that Europe has let too many people with limited skills and qualifications in, but to say too many "Muslims" is gross and racist. Again, get out of your mom's basement and get some fresh air. The internet has fried your little brain.

    There is only one group of immigrants who behave like that. Hint: It's not the Jews or East Asians.

    Israel could have crushed Hamas many times before, but always stopped short of doing it. You are simply wrong.

    This time, they must finish the job.

    It will take door-to-door, tunnel-to-tunnel work with people vs people, tanks and planes can only do so much. The IDF has to be prepared for their soldiers to be killed, many of them, just like we had in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.
