The Israeli state forces new immigrants to get a DNA test to prove their Jewish lineage.
A petition filed by Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman and numerous other private individuals against the usage of DNA testing to confirm Jewishness by the Chief Rabbinate was struck down by the High Court of Justice, multiple reports confirmed.In the majority decision, penned by Justice Neal Hendel, it was determined that the petition didn’t present sufficient evidence claiming that the rabbinate had acted in a discriminatory manner.
According to the decision, the petition raised the issue of rabbinical courts reexamining the Jewish status of someone already recognized as Jewish, as well as the issue of conducting DNA tests to prove it.To that effect, the petition indicates a lack of clarity regarding the rules used in rabbinical courts, according to Hendel.“
For example, in the preliminary response, it was argued that the proposal to conduct [DNA] testing is only made when the rest of the material presented is not sufficient, i.e., in cases in which, without such testing, the person’s Judaism would not be recognized,” he wrote in the decision.”
According to this line of thinking, the proposal to do testing can only benefit the person being tested, whether he accepts the testing or refuses to undergo the test.”However, as the representative of the rabbinate argued in the court, refusing to be tested could be used as casting greater suspicion on the Jewish status of an individual.
… The usage of DNA testing to confirm Judaism has been a matter of significant controversy recently, particularly over its use on Ashkenazi Jews from the former Soviet Union (FSU).The rabbi behind the 2017 rabbinical decision to permit using DNA testing, Rabbi Yosef Carmel, explained to The Jerusalem Post that according to experts in history and genealogy, 40% of Ashkenazi Jews descended fully from just four Jewish women, who left the Middle East 1,000 years ago.
Not all rabbis agree with the method, with some pointing to a ruling made by Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, who overturned a decision from a lower rabbinical court rejecting a man’s Jewish status.The usage of tests was officially confirmed in March 2019 when Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau admitted that the rabbinate uses it.
Though backlash came from a variety of sources, the most significant was from Israelis from the FSU.According to halacha, there are over 400,000 Israelis from the FSU that are not considered Jewish. In addition, there are 700,000 Israelis from the FSU that routinely have their Jewish status challenged by the Chief Rabbinate.
Though the rabbinate insists that nobody is forced to take the DNA test, some, such as ITIM director Rabbi Seth Farber, point out that the only way to get married in Israel is through the rabbinate, which will necessitate the test. Throughout 2018, approximately 20 engaged couples with at least one partner from FSU were asked to take the test in order to have their marriages in Israel registered.
In one reported account, a couple already legally married by the rabbinate were told to take the test when attempting to get divorced.
Jews often have to get these DNA tests before a rabbi will approve of a marriage.
In Israel the rabbis don’t approve mixed marriages between Jews and non-Jews.
This is yet more confirmation that Israel is a racially-based ethnostate where the Jewish race assiduously ferrets out non-Jews attempting to gain entry to their state.
At the same time, the vast majority of diaspora Jews lean left on issues like immigration, gay rights, and abortion while they lean right in Israel.
This demonstrates the racial hypocrisy of Jews where they seek racial purity in their own state but demand the white goyim breed themselves out of existence so as to eliminate a racial competitor.
