What Is Going On In Deir Hafer

It is Jews, but not all of them. According to latest polling it is about 95% of Jews who are racist, supremacists and believe themselves to be the master race and that 95% of Goyim the rest of humanity, should be exterminated by Jews as Yagoda and his fellow Jews did killing 65 million innocent Goyim in Soviet Russia and the rest of humanity be forced to be slaves to the Jewish master race.

No, it is not possible to be Jewish and a zionist. If you are communicant with the religion, you cannot be secular, you cannot be fascist and you can’t be an antisemite.

Wrong if they identify racially and politically as a Jew they are a racist supremacist Zionist even they also identify religiously just like Sephardi leader Yosef: who was the top Jewish Rabbi in Israel like their pope and he is a Zionist, racist, Supremacist and says Jews are the master race, and non Jews exist to serve Jewish slave masters as slaves like donkeys.

Go to Gilad Atzmon he says it best as he used to be one but he turned away from evil.

You sound like an Ashrak.

Sephardi leader Yosef: Non-Jews exist to serve Jews By Marcy OsterOctober 18, 2010 10:40pm

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli Sephardic leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef in his weekly Saturday night sermon said that non-Jews exist to serve Jews.

“Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the People of Israel,” he said during a public discussion of what kind of work non-Jews are allowed to perform on Shabbat.

“Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat,” he said to some laughter.

Yosef, the spiritual leader of the Shas Party and the former chief Sephardi rabbi of Israel, also said that the lives of non-Jews are protected in order to prevent financial loss to Jews.

“With gentiles, it will be like any person: They need to die, but God will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one’s donkey would die, they’d lose their money. This is his servant. That’s why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew,” said the rabbi, who recently turned 90.

Nothing beats the confession, bragging etc. for evidence.

The Persecution of African Migrants in the Holy Land by Israeli government and people it’s not just a few it’s the majority of Israel and the racist supremacist Israeli government.

Semantics. Jews are as much of an ethnicity as they are a religion, ‘atheist’ Jews are just as racist as Orthodox Jews. Evil is in their genes.

The Holocaust didn’t happen, but it should have.

I better confront my great-uncle – he’s been lying all these years about surviving Auschwitz!

Hmmmm, who are you working for? “Ethnicity” is a myth that cowardly racists and middle-class tossers hide behind. A Jew is someone communicant with the religion because people communicant with the religion are behaving like Jews. Posing as Jewish is a form of zionist chutzpah, convenient to exploit the nazi genocides against Jews as a pretext for colonial adventures in the Middle East.

No, any holocaust should not happen. All criminals fear a fair trial. Once a person has been found guilty of genocide etc in a fair trial, only then my they are executed. Then they can’t say they were innocent they will not be a martyr etc. Killing innocent people has never stopped bad people from doing bad things will not stop the bad people from doing bad things. Don’t think you can be more evil then Satan and win, because you can’t In a fair trial the guilty want to make deals, plead guilty and will give up and testify against their accomplices so one can get all the guilty parties. That is what works.

Did you know that 95% of numbers are completely made up? Somehow you managed to post an entirely paragraph without letting even a single fact sneak in (other than the existence of a guy called Yagoda – I’m generous with points like that).

That is what they teach in the Synagogue, so if one goes there for a life time you can bet they agree with it.

Is what this guy says made up? Are these videos of racist supremacist Jews attack blacks and Goyim made up?

I want you to stop and think about implications of what you are writing here. If I can find a handful of quotes from white people saying racist things, does that mean white people are horrible human beings?

I initially assumed you were one of those neo-nazi types (not uncommon here unfortunately), but now I’m thinking you may be a social justice warrior – quite frankly I don’t know which is worse.

Edit: I suggest you not accept facts blindly, and question your own opinions. You claimed the opinion of a weirdo rabbi represents Judaism, but I have not met a single fellow Jew in my entire life who holds a similar opinion. Finding the Jewish equivalent of the Westborough Baptist Church is meaningless. If I said white people are the most racist and evil people on earth and my proof was the Westborough Baptist Church and the KKK, you could (rightfully) point out that this is a very ironic argument, since these groups are tiny and Western culture is actually one of the most tolerant cultures to ever exist.

This guy is no weirdo Rabbi, such a statement makes me think you are a Zionist as your statement is completely untrue. He was the top Rabbi in Israel and Judaism. It’s like saying the Pope is some weirdo nothing without any influence in the catholic church and not representing the catholic church.

I don’t say anything I can’t prove. What about the videos of Israel in how they treat blacks and Goyim with Party leaders of the Knesset taking part and even the PM of Israel taking part???? No comment on that???

The don’t say these racist supremacist views to your face you mean. They probably laugh at you behind your back. I will let the videos speak to how Jews treat Goyim when they can do as they please as in Israel. Every time the Israeli PM or any Jew says Israel is Jewish state it is racist and SUPREMACIST, just like an American saying America is and must remain only a white Christian state. In Israel they have a DNA test to determine who is and is not a Jew. How can you be more racist then that????? It is the same standard as the Nazis had for determining who was an Aarian. Look it up on google yourself. https://academic.oup.com/jlb/article/2/2/469/826237/Genetic-citizenship-DNA-testing-and-the-Israeli After the news of this one student’s experience made headlines, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office confirmed that many Jews from the Former Soviet Union (‘FSU’) are asked to provide DNA confirmation of their Jewish heritage in order to immigrate as Jews and become citizens under Israel’s Law of Return.9 According to one source, the consul’s procedure, which was: approved by the legal department of the Interior Ministry, states that aRussian-speaking child born out-of-wedlock is eligible to receive an Israeli immigration visa if the birth was registered before the child turned [three]. Otherwise a DNA test to prove Jewish parentage is necessary. So who is right me or you????? They have begun using this racist test. No other state on the planet does this. I believe in justice like in the 10 commandments of Moses . Jews believe in the Talmud and the Kaballa which is the exact opposite of the ten commandments. The good Jews I know are no longer Jews and they tell me what goes on in the Synagogue and that si why they are no longer Jews.

Bandalar what happened? No come back to the government of Israel’s racist supremacist DNA tests, to determine the racial purity of the master race??? Did your racist supremacist friends forget to mention it to your face?? Why don’t you ask them about it and why they did not mention it to you? Could it be because they see you as a racially inferior Goy slave, whose only purpose on the earth is to serve them and their master race, as Sephardic leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef says in his Saturday night sermons??? Would you pass this racist test for racial purity and supremacy??? Does the government of Israel not represent the state of Israel and the Israeli population? As far as I am aware no state in history has had such a racist DNA test of racial purity and supremacy, to qualify for citizenship, making Israel the most racist and supremacist country in human history. Israeli’s have not voted against their government doing this, instead they have voted for it, thus indicating their approval, unless you now want to say Israel is not a democracy? Hitler was elected as well you know. Tell me am I wrong? Prove me wrong!!. Can you tell me of any other state that has a DNA test of racial purity in order to obtain citizenship??

Photograph: Nir Alon/ Nir Alon/Demotix/Corbis

This article is 3 years old Harriet Sherwood in Jerusalem Wednesday 20 November 2013 16.41 GMT Israel is to stop issuing birth certificates to babies born to foreigners – a move targeted at migrants but will also encompass diplomats and other international workers. The absence of official documentation is likely to cause major problems when applying for passports and other identity papers.

The plan was disclosed in state papers filed to the high court on Monday in response to a challenge to an existing policy of refusing to include the father’s name in foreigners’ birth certificates. As part of this policy, Israel also insists that only the mother’s family name may be documented as the baby’s last name.

The Israeli government says it has no legal obligation to issue official birth certificates to foreigners, and intends to stop doing so to prevent foreigners using such documentation to claim the right to stay in the country. Instead, foreigners will be given hospital-issued birth notices, which are currently hand-written in Hebrew.

A legal challenge, due to be heard on Sunday, has been brought by the Association of Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) and two other rights groups on behalf of a family of asylum seekers from the Democratic Republic of Congo. A child born to parents with permission to stay in Israel and in possession of work permits was denied a birth certificate including the father’s name. The ministry of interior also refused the parents’ request to give the child her father’s last name.

Israel says including the father’s name on an official document without proof of paternity has significant legal ramifications. “Determining paternity is liable to determine the status of the father and child in civil law on matters such as inheritance, child support, custody, conversion, names, citizenship, residency, registration in the population registry and more,” according to the court papers.

Amid rising public hostility, the Israeli government has sought to impose severe restrictions on the rights of migrant workers and asylum seekers, which it terms “infiltrators”. On Sunday, the cabinet approved a bill to hold all migrants – mainly from Sudan and Eritrea – in a detention centre for a year. Restrictions on birth certificates have also affected diplomats and other international workers. One western diplomat was barred from being named as his children’s father on their birth certificates, and from giving them his family name. The existing policy was a “hassle rather than a catastrophe” for international staff with well-established support networks, but the new plan was “a step of quite serious concern,” he said. “If Israel is going to stop giving birth certificates to foreigners, it will be a serious problem for all of us – and much worse for someone who doesn’t have the infrastructure of support we enjoy.” Israel would face “a chorus of concern”, he added. Oded Feller, a lawyer with ACRI, said: “The state has an obligation to protect the identities of all the children in Israel equally. It is also obligated to grant all children, without discrimination, birth certificates. The interior ministry is not authorised to erase elements of a child’s identity. It is not entitled to cancel the parenthood of fathers who are not Israeli, nor is it authorised to take away the names given to children by their parents.”

A refusal to issue any birth certificates to foreigners would present many difficulties, he added. “Israel’s purpose is very simple: they don’t want foreigners to apply for legal status here. The ministry of interior wants to make it as hard as possible.”

The issue was raised at the United Nations committee on the rights of the child in June. According to minutes of the meeting, the committee “received information that the children of migrants were not issued with official birth certificates, but were instead given a copy of a handwritten birth notification that did not have a personal identification number and did not even include the name of the father. It was reported that families that insisted on the inclusion of the father’s name had to pay nearly $2,000 for a DNA test.”

The UN convention on the rights of the child, which Israel has signed, says full birth records are a fundamental right.

Israelis or Jews? 22.04.2010 José Steinsleger La Jornada Marital happiness depends, sometimes, on the racial purity of the lovers. This is the message that the citizen Baruch Marzel sent to Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli, who plans to marry the great Leonardo Di Caprio. “Not by chance you were born Jewish, he said.” Does Baruch live among the Taliban of Afghanistan or does he sympathize with Iran’s ayatollahs? Neither one nor the other. Baruch is a Zionist colonist living in the occupied territories of Palestine and serves in the organization Lehava. That, in Christian, means flame, and in the original acronym: To Prevent Assimilation in the Holy Land. As a good Zionist, Baruch argues that it is not enough to be an Israeli citizen. It is necessary to be, above all, a good Jew. Therefore, the diva will have to think twice, because the union with the hero of Titanic could “damage” as he said future generations having mixed her blood with that of a ‘gentile’ (not Jewish). One moment … In what other circumstances of contemporary history was there something similar? But if the tempting analogy with Nazism might sound anti-Semitic, oblivous of DNA, let’s accept that in Israel the formula was discovered to differentiate pure blood from impure blood. Absurdities, which in addition to being an obsession of some extremists, are consistent with the official policy of a state that has no constitution and encourages, deliberately, the conceptual gap between nationality and citizenship. Some Jewish thinkers brag on the Declaration of Independence of Israel, which in 1948 established respect for “… the complete social and political equality of all citizens without distinction of religion, race or sex.” In practice, the reality is different. In the absence of separation between state and religion, the Israeli citizenship card is not enough to sleep together forever. Only an Orthodox rabbi, an imam, or priest recognized by the State, can offer legal marriages. It, therefore is convenient, that the DNA of the couple are genuinely Israeli Jews. And Lehava so what? Does this organization not personify (along with the Zionist state) conclusive proof that the fundamentalist gangsters who rule Israel are pushing the faith of the Jews in a quagmire of confusion, atrocities and violations?

Not by chance you were born Jewish. Lehava strives to provide assistance to Jewish women who maintain relationships with Gentiles (especially when it comes to Arab men) to prevent marriages from being completed. And if couples do not agree, they travel to Cyprus, which has become the Las Vegas of Israel. Sociologist Sara Stricker investigated that between 150 and 200 couples travel monthly to Cyprus from Israel. Since according to international law, Israel should recognize marriages performed abroad. But, as Striker said, 63 years after the founding of the state, “… Israel has not declared whether it wants to be a Jewish state in accordance with the columns of filament (the commandments of Jewish religion) or a Western secular democracy.” Zionist propaganda identifies Israel as the most modern and democratic state in the Middle East. But what decisions on the other side of justice are taken into account for personal circumstances? Marriage, divorce or death are treated in Israel in absolutely sectarian terms. On the other hand, Zionism does not care to explain why modern Israel is also the only one in the Western world in which there are only religious and not civil marriages. Or why not recognize marriages between Jews and Muslims or Christians, or between Jews and atheists? Israeli law defines a Jew as a person whose mother is Jewish or has converted to Judaism and is not part of another religious community. And this in spite of the amendment that grants this right to the son and to the grandson of a Jew; to the wife of a Jew; to the wife of the son of a Jew and to the wife of a grandson of a Jew, except to those that having been a Jew and have voluntarily changed religion. In July 2005, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) decided to grant citizenship to Palestinians married to Israeli citizens, if the men were at least 35 years, and if the women were older than 25. Good resource for practical purposes. For this way, only children born to Jewish parents are obliged to perform military service for two years, and we’ll see later if they are Jewish enough to marry in Israel. If a Mexican who lives in Israel is converted to Judaism, they can acquire citizenship at the time of their conversion. But if Mexico (or any other country) regulates that Jews cannot become citizens under the same conditions as others, Zionist experts in ethics, altruism and morality put the signature that it will be seen as a test of anti-Semitism.

Israel Starts Using DNA to Check for “Jewishness of Immigrants” http://satans666squares.webs.com/Israel%20Starts%20Using%20DNA%20to%20Check%20for.pdf

Posted by TNO Staffon August 12, 2013 http://newobserveronline.com/israel starts-using-dna-to-check-for-jewishness-of-immigrants/Israel, which already has one of the most racially-restrictive immigration policies in the world, is about to introduce DNA testing to ensure that no non-Jews fromRussia enter the country, according to an announcement from the Prime Minister ’s office in Tel Aviv made at the end of July 2013. According to an article in the Times of Israel, Russian -speakers who want tomake “aliya”will in future need a DNA test. This development is the surest signyet that Jewishness is not a cultural construct, but a biological one, and also further evidence that the“Khazar theory”—which would have introduced non-Semitic elements into the Jewish gene pool—is incorrect, as proved by earlier DNA evidence. According to the Times of Israel, “would-be immigrants from former Soviet Union may be asked to prove [their] Jewish bloodline” and will be“subjected to DNA testing to prove their Jewishness.”The announcement said “many Jews from the FSU [Russia] who were born out -of -wedlock can be required to bring DNA confirmation of Jewish heritage in orderto be allowed to immigrate as a Jew.“A source in the PMO told Maariv that the consul’s procedure, approved by the legal department of the Interior Ministry,states that a Russian -speaking child born out-of-wedlock is eligible to receive anIsraeli immigration visa if the birth was registered before the child turned 3. Otherwise a DNA test to prove Jewish parentage is necessary.“ A Foreign Ministry spokesman said that the decision to require DNA testing for Russian Jews is based on the recommendations of Nativ, an educational program under the auspices of the Prime Minister’s Office to help Jews from the FSU immigrate to Israel. “The issue cuts to the heart of Israel’s Law of Return, which allows anybody with a Jewish parent, grandparent or spouse to move to Israel and be eligible for citizenship. Determining who is a Jew —a definition which has evolved along with the religion’s many streams—has led the interior Ministry to create a somewhat byzantine system of checks and rules and has sometimes led applicants, especially converts to Judaism, to fight for the right to immigrate in Israeli courts.

”This demand for DNA tests for immigrants to Israel contrasts dramatically with the demand for open borders made by all Jewishorganizations in America and elsewhere

Israel Tests Some Would-Be Immigrants` DNA For Jewishness Steve Sailer If any European country or any country on the planet did this Jews would scream racism!!!! about 95% of Jews totally believe in racism, racial supremacy and discrimination and slavery as long as they are the one doing it and they are the one who benefit from it. http://www.vdare.com/posts/israel-tests-some-would-be-immigrants-dna-for-jewishness August 4, 2013, 4:44 am From The Times of Israel: A number of people from the former Soviet Union wishing to immigrate to Israel could be subjected to DNA testing to prove their Jewishness, the Prime Minister’s Office said Sunday. The policy was reported in Maariv on Monday, one day after the Israeli paper revealed that a 19-year-old woman from the former Soviet Union was required to take the test to qualify for a Birthright Israel trip. The Prime Minister’s Office confirmed that many Jews from the FSU who were born out-of-wedlock can be required to bring DNA confirmation of Jewish heritage in order to be allowed to immigrate as a Jew. A source in the PMO told Maariv that the consul’s procedure, approved by the legal department of the Interior Ministry, states that a Russian-speaking child born out-of-wedlock is eligible to receive an Israeli immigration visa if the birth was registered before the child turned 3. Otherwise a DNA test to prove Jewish parentage is necessary. This seems not unreasonable. Going back to Sen. Henry Jackson`s legislation to give special rights to immigrate to Israel (and America) to Soviet Jews, a lot of fairly random Russians have claimed to be Jewish to cash in. For example, I knew a lady from Leningrad in the early 1990s who wasn`t noticeably Jewish in looks, demeanor, culture, or family ties, but her Plan C for staying in America (she wanted to be blackjack dealer in Las Vegas) was to assiduously pull together a stack genealogical paperwork of who knows what authenticity to prove she was Jewish enough not to get kicked out of the U.S. by the INS.

Take the racial purity test to see if you are part of the superior racist and supremacist master race. You know I don’t think even the KKK does this kind of racist stuff. https://www.igenea.com/en/jews Are you Jewish? Do you have Jewish roots? Are you an Ashkenazi? Are you a Levi or a Cohen? A DNA test by iGENEA provides you with clear evidence of whether you have Jewish roots. Based on your specific genetic characteristics, we can identify whether you are of Jewish descent, which line the Jewish descent is from (paternal, maternal or both lines) and even to what percentage you are Jewish. In addition, your profile is compared with more than 700,000 people in our database. If we find a genetic match, i.e., people with whom you correspond genetically, you may contact these people and intensify your family research. Is Judaism more than a religion? Is there a jewish Gene? Ethnic groups who marry among themselves for generations are genetically “linked”. It is scientifically undisputed that there are genetic patterns that occur frequently in Jews. Jews have developed over the centuries a certain degree of genetic homogeneity that becomes visible in a DNA-test. The Jewish People, however, is not entirely genetically seperable. So no test can give you an unambiguous proof. Nevertheless a genealogical DNA test can confirm a Jewish origin. Even if you don’t belong to one of the typical Jewish haplogroups, you could still have Jewish roots. By comparing your DNA-Profile with all other profiles in our databank (over 700.000), you will find persons whose profiles are genetically similar to yours (“genetic cousins”). If many of your genetic cousins are Jews, then there is a high probability that you have Jewish roots, too.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/1412777/Indian-Jews-resist-DNA-tests-to-prove-they-are-a-lost-tribe.html Indian ‘Jews’ resist DNA tests to prove they are a lost tribe Inigo Gilmore in Jerusalem 12:01AM GMT 10 Nov 2002 Members of a remote community of Indians who claim to be descendants of one of the 10 lost tribes of ancient Israel are resisting plans to carry out genetic tests to prove their Jewishness. The group,which calls itself the Bnei Menashe (or children of the biblical tribe of Manasseh), fears that the plan by a group of American and Israeli scientists to carry out DNA tests may undermine its claims to Jewish ancestry. Between 4,000 and 5,000 Bnei Menashe, who come from the north-eastern India states of Manipur and Mizoram close to the Burmese border, have been living as Orthodox Jews since the early 1970s. They are members of the much larger Shinlung tribe but gave themselves their new name to reflect their belief in their roots. Among their traditions, for instance, was a male circumcision ritual on the eighth day after birth; a holiday on which unleavened bread was eaten – even though the tribe were not otherwise bread eaters – and they used a language of prayer with numerous linguistic connections to Biblical Hebrew. Many of the Bnei Menashe fear that the proposal that they should undergo DNA testing may further complicate their efforts to assimilate and to bring fellow members of the tribe to Israel. Rabbi Shimon Gangte, a Bnei Menashe leader who has lived in Israel for eight years and teaches Torah at a yeshiva (religious school) on the West Bank, argues that the thousands of Ethiopian Jews who emigrated to Israel did not have to undergo DNA tests. He said: “Over a number of years, Jewish blood has mixed with non-Jewish blood in our community. So would the DNA test show that we are Jewish? Maybe not. So are people then going to say that we are not Jewish and dash the hopes of the rest of the community to move here? Even if it is not proven according to a DNA test, we feel Jewish and we will still be Jewish.”
