Hear, hear! To all the Jews at sea and all the Jews of call, to all the Jews in Galacha, to all the Non-Jews, whatever. The Rabbinical Court and Rabbinical Council in Jerusalem are in charge off the final definition on who is a Jew and who is not. They can permit or not to get married in Israel. They have investigators(!) who demand the proof from the individual about his/her blood ancestry, demand papers, question witnesses and even interrogate ( polite, no torture in all fairness). This institution EXACTLY follows in its functions some of the functions of the infamous Santa Hermandada, the Spanish Inquisition which also was in charge of such investigations to issue a certificate to the individual that he/she not only was a real good Catholic but did not have any unfortunate non- Catholic ancestry.
Let people know that Inquistion is alive and well, only it has a Jewish accent now.
P.S. I hope no one will accuse me here of fingering out the Jews. On the contrary, I am a Jew myself and the existence of such institution just proves to me what I always knew: we, the Jews are exactly the same as everyone else.
