Everybody knows that many of the inhabitants of Hebron were, a couple of generations ago, practicing Jews. They were forced to submit to the Islam (literally, submission) under the Turkish Sultanate, and on the surface, they have merged with the Arab Muslim majority. One Hebronite decided to return to his ancestors' faith and tribe, and Rabbi Karelitz converted him to Judaism.
Now, this is a very delicate issue, because Muslims cannot just choose another religion and those who do, are ipso facto beheaded. But that will be his problem, not mine. Judaism is not missionary and converts are not desired. But the High Court of Justice of Israel, a secular institution, had officially recognized the authority of Karelitz, including the right to convert non-Jews, and that makes the problem mine and national. As a convert, the Hebronite is entitled to Israeli citizenship and its White Colonialist "privileges'. (Like being beaten in the Vari Hall of York University, for being a Zionist.)
What do I think? The boy keeps all the mitzvot, which I do not. He is a kosher Jew. By blood, he may be more closer to Abraham of the Bible than I am. Abraham spent much time in Hebron.
Now the convert has been jailed by the Palestinian Authority and submitted to Islamic brainwashing. For some reason, unknown to this blogger, thousands are attracted to Judaism and would convert if made easier. If this Palestinian Arab becomes one of us and survives, well... it is complicated.
Islam and rabbinic judaism are practically daughter religions both descended from the old Jerusalem tradition, which is gone forever now. what conversion?
ReplyDeleteI think you do not desire his conversion because you are afraid he will marry a nice ashkenazi lily-white ashkenazi girl, and it bothers you what they will do in the bedroom.
Imagine if muslim pakistani men in Europe converted to Catholicism, and in the church started chatting up blonde polish women. What do you think will happen?
I think our hostile instincts are more biological in nature. By "our" I mean human. Culture and religious belief, are only symbols, for most they are flags they carry to signal their hostility to foreign males.
In light of this think about the first men who established the caliphate. There were arguments against admitting lower-races to join Islam because, well they were conquered cattle. And yet those holy men proselytized and proselytized, dying in battle against Kuffar to prove that they were true martyrs of god.
Regardless of skin color all were admitted.
This is true belief in God, completely annulling one's own biological desires and instincts, overcoming all spiritual and bodily pain, to become a perfect servent of God.
There are no such men today.
You misread what I wrote: I said the Hebroni convert is a kosher Jew and Israeli. I say Welcome Home. The problem is not with us, but the large Islamic world. Up to now, we managed to focus the war on borders, and we managed to avoid a war of religions. We have no desire to wage a war against the Islam, not at all. First because it is a monotheistic religion and they are not idol worshippers, therefore their souls will go to heaven side by side with us, if there is one. Second, they are not intrinsically anti-Jewish, as other religions may be. But if we start converting Muslims that will be a provocation and a competition. On the other hand, Judaism is not racist and we have accepted Ethiopians.
