Reply To: Can following a Chumra become a Chilul Hashem

The Chilul hashem has been because the narrative has come out that these people are black and Rav Yitzchak Yosef has called it racism. At worse they are Safek Jews and not Goyim anyway, Even according to the Eidah they only need a Giyur L’Chumra (However some of the people involved already had one and were Halachically jewish)
