133. Welcome Aboard - We'd Be Glad to Have You
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 09:52 AM by Coastie for Truth


Like our neighbors, the Unitarians, we do NOT Proselytize (used to be a death penalty offense in Christian and Muslim cultures). But, we welcome with open arms and an open heart.

Some points -
1. Israel grants "asylum" - with much less craziness then the US or the UK. (Even Bosnians and Kosovars - Muslims - received asylum). Asylum is defined in "International Humanitarian law" on the Red Cross and International Commission of the Red Cross/Red Crescent web site. Don't conflate "citizenship" with "asylum." Americans, especially politicians, conflate the two.

2. Citizenship - under the Law of Return vice Naturalization - may be open to collateral attack. But no deportation, just more bureaucratic red tape. Please don't dig up URL's about "Jews" who converted to Christianity and were denied "citizenship" under the "Law of Return" -- they were not deported -- just put on the naturalization track.

3. Citizenship Under The Law oif Return carries some "Welfare" (Social Service or Safety Net) Benefits.
