Once more, the issue of who is the Jew has taken over the scene in Israel, the extremist Keneset members have threatened to overthrow the Prime Minister of the Zionist Entity Benjamin Natanyahu if he does not spead up the process in passing the bill that gives them the right to decide who is the Jew?
And those members who represent a third of the majority of Natanyahus government (32 members) demand the passing of the bill that bans the entry of the moderate Jews the monopoly on who can convert into a Jew.
They are also leaching an organized campaign against the Prime Minister in order to force him to pass the bills which he had promised in writing that he would do us soon as he was in power in May 1996, this was confirmed by the leader of this movement and also a member of the Keneset Rabi Shimoel Malbert, Malbert also adds in saying, "if these bills are not passed we shall not rote for the government", by this he is trying to Natanyahu blackmail by taking advantage of the influence he enjoys within the religious parties in "Israel" and the decisive role it has in shaping the fate of the governments coalition.
The lender of the extremist Shas Party Rabi Arye Derki also joined this compaign by voicing his opinion on the military Radio: "The hour of Truth has arrived, and these bills must be passed. "But if Natanyahu does pass these bills, he would find himself in trouble with 93 % of the American Jews who belong to conservative movements, who donate very large sums of money yearly to "Israel". This point was pointed out by Rabi Ehud Bandel leader of the conservative movement in "Israel", who said, "the American Jews would translate this movement". Bandel also adds, "so to point a blow on the faces of their brothers outside "Israel".
These arguments came after the committee that Natanyahu had appointed to solve the problem, suggested that the Rabis of the conservatives the allowed to have marriage ceremonies and to give assistance to those who wish to convert into a Jew, this issue angered the extremist who believe - for example - that Judaism does not consider the Jews who immigrate from Russia to be Jews.
