If her prospective suitor's jewishness was that great of an issue for her, then perhaps she should have taken just a little more time to verify it.

If you were surrounded by people wanting to exterminate your entire race, you might get a little crazy, too.

Oh sorry I thought he was commenting what Albert mentioned about there being in practice laws in Israel that make it hard for Jews and Arabs to marry.Originally posted by SlowwHand View PostModern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

Also Israelies or "Jews" aren't a race. Genetics tells us this. Askenazi and Shepardim Jews could be considered a micro race, however they are basically a Euro-Middle Eastern hybrid. They are firmly Caucasoid.
There are plenty of nonCaucasoid Jews, including East Asian and Black ones living in Israel.Last edited by Heraclitus; July 22, 2010, 04:18.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

To gribbler and anyone else wondering about Jewish miscegenation laws:
Also, http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...el-478291.htmlIn addition, civil marriage is banned in Israel, meaning that in the small number of cases where Jews and Arabs want to wed, they can do so only by leaving the country for a ceremony abroad. The marriage is recognised on the couple’s return.
I also wonder how much this 'recognition' of marriage mirrors 'recognition' of marriages between white and Blacks in the American South before the civil rights movement. And no one wants to comment on the obvious parallels between this and the South? At what point will we have more incidents like Springfield 1908 or Rosewood in Israel where instead of "It was a ******!" it'll be "It was an Arab!"Israel's High Court has narrowly upheld a law denying Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza married to Israeli citizens the right to live in the country with their spouses.
The judges voted by six to five not to cancel a four-year-old amendment to the Citizenship Law which outlaws "family unification" in Israel between Palestinians and Arab citizens of Israel.
It was passed as a one-year emergency measure in 2002 on the ground that it was needed to protect Israeli security. But the amendment, described yesterday by the Knesset member Ran Cohen, of the left-wing Meretz party, as "rooted in racism", has been renewed every year since then."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

That's just what she was trying to do, stupid. They went into a private room so she could verify that he was circumsized in proper Jewish fashion, she went in for a closer look, and things went from there.Originally posted by Whoha View Post

Before you go spouting off about israel's backwardness, consider that people get their names stuck on a list that prevents you from owning a house or getting a job for the rest of their lives for having sex with 17 year olds here.
This is not a defense of israel's law. My point is that **** is ****ed up everywhere.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

You (or the author) are misconstruing this to be about race when it's really about religion. It's not the Arabness that is stopping the marriage, but the Muslimness or Christianness etc. You might say it has (almost) the same effect but the rationale is different.Originally posted by Al B.

Yes, this means Israel is not a whacky secular state but a whacky fundi state which can't properly keep religion and state apart.Originally posted by Kitschum View Post"The world is too small in Vorarlberg".
