Prof Stern is correct. In recent times Orthodox Judaism is becoming less tolerant of those who do not follow halacha strictly. We often hear it said that unnecessary hatred caused the downfall of Jewish rule in this land in the past and will cause it to happen again.Intolerance between the various sectors in the Jewish population in Israel will lead us down a path none of us wish to follow.

right here in Israel. We read about this almost every week. I was born and lived in Eastern Europe. It's no mystery to me who is behind this. It is beyond stupid to bring these anti-Semitic Gentiles here. and if they don't want to follow the laws of conversion let them be who they are.
