9. You are correct, Israeli, I am confused.

I was unaware of the "technicalities of Jewishness" that you have referenced here. This is a very interesting topic that I will try to look at.

If I am reading this article correctly, there are "technical Jews" and there are "kosher Jews", with only the latter being considered fully realized as Jews.

If I am also interpreting what I have read correctly, only "kosher Jews" enjoy full rights of citizenship.

If my reading and interpretation on these matters is correct, Israel can in no sense be considered a democracy where all citizens enjoy equal rights, but is instead a limited democracy, much like the US.


It is very interesting how the reality of Israel bears so little resemblance to the view of Israel that is presented in the US media.
