These 322,000 not registered as Jews – do they not
represent a 5th column? What’s the point of catering to a third of a million immigrants in Israel that are not Jews. If they cannot be miga-
yer then let them be designated as Mi_ukav Giyur.
If they are not interested in converting let’s exchange them for the poor Sudanese who would gladly convert or at least accept the status of
Mi_ukav Giyur. This 1/3 million represent a time bomb. I say get rid of them now before the countdown reaches liftoff.
Ken Yirbu, and continue having Jewish babies and coming on aliyah.
