1. Its a shame that there are not a million of them
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (08.24.10)
2. Do DNA tests
Gershon ,   Jerusalem   (08.24.10)
DNA testing can be done to see if they have any Jewish roots. Either way: welcome to the Jewish People!!!
3. Let's bring all of them home!
Cracker ,   Galil, Israel   (08.24.10)
Even without the "roots, " if they are practicing Judaism or wish to, we should let them come, period(.) We should launch some kind of program to get all of them over here. Unlike many others who are here and have no interest in Judaism and/or Zionism, they would bring nothing but good with them and contribute greatly to society. This would cancel out many of the vampires we have here sucking from and poisoning the system. Welcome home!
4. Returners to Israel
Yaakov Sullivan ,   NYC, NY   (08.24.10)
Where is their funding coming from? They are probably funded by evil groups like AIPAC and the UJA who donate to any cause that will cause my Palestinian husband agita.
5. Wait till they get a load of the racism
Josh   (08.24.10)
No native Israeli will welcome such, will they? They are too scared of strangers?
6. To the author:
Israeli 2   (08.25.10)
Avoiding eating pork is NOT a tradition...it is a NO! NO! commandment.
7. #6 - correction
observer   (08.25.10)
For a Jew it is a commandment, but for someone who has Jewish ancestry, but is not technically Jewish, it is tradition.
8. Good news
Hillel ,   Elad, Israel   (08.25.10)
With so many Jews today leaving Judaism, it is good to know that some are returning. Welcome back!!!!
9. Could be, 1000 Million want to convert ?...Phew !
Roland Seener ,   London England   (08.25.10)
10. Kaifeng Jews
Rick ,   Los Angeles   (08.25.10)
God bless them. God bless Israel.
11. # 5 Josh
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.25.10)
And you are reflecting something akin to racism by stereotyping Israelis in a slanderous manner. Leave off it. You sound like a western immigrant-superiorist who thinks that sabras all fit one image. You don't a lot of sabras really well, I take it? Loads of Black Israelis born and raised here in my neighbourhood!
12. "... studying at the Machon Meir Yeshiva"
JDE ,   Boston, USA   (08.26.10)
Right - disregard 1,000 years (or more) of their own heritage, and turn them into Litvaks. Everyone knows it's the only true Judaism.
