1. How come Sefardi Jews fleeing to Peru look like Ethiopians?
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (07.29.19)
The children looks have no resemblance to local Indonesians either.

Is it possible that Black slaves in Peru were converted to Judaism by a few Sefardis and then fled to Indonesia?
2. Identity public
Isaac Ariel   (07.29.19)
Is there a need to make their identity public ? Hope they stay safe in Indonesia.
3. Beware of messianic and christian mission in Israel
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (07.30.19)
Unfortunately certain Israeli Jews are vulnerable to messianism and missionism. These are lone soldiers, working poor with kids and very sadly, Amhari Jews. Namely Amhari Jews are easy prey for unscrupoulus obscure sects of messianic "Jews" and Christian sects. I am worried about the Indonesian Jews becoming prey to the unscrupulous messianics and missionaries. Namely the persons around "Israel Today*.

Messianising and missionism of Israeli Jews is a crime. It is despicable because it abuses Jews and is ridiculizing Judaism.

4. Ultimate bogots is "Israel Today"
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (07.30.19)
"Israel Today" is an outspoken activist center of messianic "Jews" and obscure Christian sects, with the intent to messianize and missionize Jews in Israel.

Their main prey are the lonely, the poor and the needy. Including LONE SOLDIERS and including namely Amharic Jews.

They are well organized and financially well endowed for this and use a lot of tricks to catch their prey. All of them victims to an other religion.

FOR ZION
5. These are not jews
Danno   (08.06.19)
"Judaizers – Christians who believe it is necessary to live a Jewish way of life,"...this is nothing more than messianism. These rabbis who work with these people must be excommunicated. The jewish people will disintegrate if this kind of stupidity continues.
