Israel is killing the world Jewish minorities, their ways of life and cultures. And please Pini stope deciding for others, why don't you move to Israel?

the semitic pple. Fake jews !
6. @4, Vive la difference!
Jonny Hart ,   Netanya, Israel   (09.09.10)
israel is doing no such thing! there's no reason why they can't continue to practice and celebrate their cultures here, just like any other jewish community does. israel is nothing if not a melting pot of diverse cultures. besides, there is no future for jews in the diaspora. take it from someone who has lived in 'englandistan' for 30 years and who recently made aliyah.
7. 4#. Moise, it is the diaspora not Israel reducing Jewish
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (09.09.10)
numbers. Except for orthodox Jews living in the diaspora all other Jews will assimilate over the next few generations. Countries such as America and England are seeing dramatic decreases in the Jewish population.
8. Aliyah
Hadassah ,   Jerusalem   (09.09.10)

Ivan b ,   San Jose, CA   (09.09.10)
Hitler also thought there was a "Jewish" look, bigot.
11. 1 of top Hareidi scholars Chinese girl
Yanevercantell ,   Jerualem Israel   (09.09.10)
About a year ago an article appeared in the Jerusalem Post & told of an American Haredi couple he in CHina as I believe a top scientist of some kind.While waiting for a train a Chinese woman lay down an infant girl and ran away.The couple decided to adopt the child and was able to bring her to Israel and today she is one of the leading female Torah scholars in Jerusalem's Haredi Community. A little digging on the net I am sure will find the story.
12. Sarah B: Shut your mouth
Ben-Hur ,   Florida   (09.09.10)
Nobody wants to hear your racist crap.
13. No. 9, 10, 12
NYC Girl   (09.09.10)
Don't be so quick to believe everything you read. That's how people end up falling for all that Palestinian agitprop. In fact, anybody who possessed the powers of critical thinking (and who've read any of Sarah's previous talkbacks) would realize that comment was written by somebody who can't even construct a proper English sentence...especially the Americans. And "mongoloids?" You actually believe Sarah wrote that crap?
14. What!!A Chinese Jew?Those gentiles..Wonders will never end.
Avi ,   USA   (09.09.10)
What's it gonna be next?Jesus was from Papua New Guenea?If nice to be Jewish coz it gets you allotta sympathy and cash..Just saying...;)
15. Aliyah!! Whooooo!Come on?!?
Yerubaal ,   Diaspora   (09.09.10)
DO you really believe this? Well if i offend someeone i am sorry but i cant believe this is jews celebrating, it seems to me very much that these are people who want citizenship of a western country. they didnt have a thora for 1000 yrs and dont eat pork...could as well be remniscnets of a muslim culture. i am very skeptical
16. To All #5 is not the true Sarah B
Slice ,   USA   (09.09.10)
Anyone who knows the writing and position of Sarah would know that this is not her, who ever it is, is just trying to provoke the kind of responses you are giving.
17. #13 Agree with you NYC Girl... Post #5 ...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (09.09.10)
.....lacks the trademark of our real Sarah B.
18. #5= FAKE....................................................
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.09.10)
19. #13 NYC......I KNEW , I CAN SEE THE IP :-) RELAX !
BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE   (09.10.10)
20. You have no idea what you are talking about - sad
ashley ,   NYC NY   (09.10.10)
Who are you to decide who is Jewish and who Isn't? Are you able to track down your own roots? probably not huh? so why won't you keep your non-based and ignorant opinions to yourself? and you speak of resemblance? you need to check for DNA you smart girl, features change over time, due to the place where you live and obviously mixed marriage. you are pathetic.
21. here's a response to #5

22. Re: #4 It is tough to live a Jewish life without other Jews.
Anon ,   Exile   (09.12.10)
It is tough to live a Jewish life without other Jews. They are only a small number in a large city, that is why they are assimilating. Not necessarily because they don't have an attachment to Judaism, but because it is so hard to do Jewish things with so few Jewish people. Plus, it's hard to be enthusiastic about going to Jewish events/celebrations when nobody there is their age. This is coming from someone in North America, how much more so for Chinese Jews!!!
23. @ Sarah #5
David ,   Texas, USA   (09.12.10)
Ignorant comment. Myself for an example, I am not Jewish but I am a taco eating Mexican American and raised Catholic but my DNA says Ashkenazi-Cohen. Shana Tova!! How you like them apples!!
24. Beautiful story
Jew ,   Israel   (09.15.10)
DNA tests show that ALL Jews today are a mixture of ancient Middle Easterners and local populations where Jews migrated to. In other words, all of us Jews today are a mixture. Many Ashkenazi Jews do not look Middle Eastern at all. And to the Chinese Jews: Welcome back to our People!!! Glad to have you!!!
