1. reform is not judaism

Reform is not judaism and most israelis are chilonim and don't understand anything about these things. the reform conversion has the same value of a 346 shekel bill = nothing !
2. Okay

I think the 71% ought to be more than 90%. We all should be concerned about Jews all over. But the 51% ought to clean up their idiotic act and mentality by reducing it to 10%. Finally, 90% of respondents oppose support by the government of Israel for Diaspora Jewish communities.
3. #1:As a die-hard secularist I tend to agree with you 100%!

When a group of people has the cojones/chutzpah/gall, to claim knowledge of GOD"S WILL, then there's absolutely no way they should accept ANY deviation from that path. Judaism's younger brother, the (cursed be it's name) Islam is a perfect example of this. They took it to "11" (to quote the immortal Nigel Tufnel) by adding a"mitzvah" of forced conversion of ALL of humanity. Quite the opposite of what we do. Yes, religion's a bitch, ain't she?

There is a big difference in accepting the non orthodox movements and having diaspora Jews involved in decision making. The belief that orthodoxy is the only correct Judaism is of course false as nobody really knows what the all mighty really wants. All are Jews even if we disagree with their interpretation of Judaism. We must realize that orthodoxy is in fact rabbinical religion and not a religion based only on the Torah. Judaism as practiced today is a religion based on the loss of the temple in Jerusalem and living in the diaspora. Those who think that their practice of Judaism is the only correct are in fact in error.
