Don't date Arab Men !
Warning to be careful, Racism or freedom of speech ?
An Israeli group of prominent rabbis' wives has urged Jewish girls not to date or work with Arabs, underscoring the rising power of the religious Right and fuelling fears of growing racism in the country.
A letter, signed by 27 wives, called on Jewish girls not to go out with Arabs, work with them or perform national service in places where Arabs are employed.
It states: "They ask to be close to you, try to find favour with you, and give you all the attention in world. They know how to act with courtesy, as if they really care for you, but their behaviour is only temporary. The moment you are in their hands, in their village, under their control, everything changes.
"Your life will never go back to the way it was, and the attention you so desired will turn into curses, beatings, and humiliations."
Rabbi Gilad Kariv, the head of Israel's Reform branch of Judaism, condemned the letter. "Israeli society is falling into a deep, dark pit of racism and xenophobia," he warned.

this is not new, it is known since that the world is world
Does have a lot of problems.
Sad but true and usually because of family.
Let's face it we all want to marry somebody who shares morals and values that match our own. Sometimes, unfortunately for some those are matched with somebody from another tribe/race/religion/culture.
Getting married and sustaining that marriage is hard work when you match supposedly in a perfect way.
The strain on mixed marriages is greater.
Yet, does it give anyone the right to say not to try and mix and learn, I do not think so.
I am married to an English man (deep joy) and yet I am Irish/English with a touch of Italian from Grandparents (oops) and we faced many problems when we got together. I am Catholic (devout) and he is an Atheist (devout). Does it stop us loving each other very much; NO! Has it caused problems (for others) yes, of course it has. My family to be honest.
Luckily my husband has cut through all of that *rap by being an excellent husband, an even better father and a fantastic in-law; so after 20 years, he is accepted ( I think) lol
Mixed marriages can work but they are rare. Compromise is the big thing.
It's neither religious nor racist just political.
:D
LOL ...

I had a lovely pakistani friend at uni (female) her parents didn't like her having friends who were not of 'her background'. That made her embarassed and I was idignant. You take the passport but don't want to mix?
That is wrong. Preserving ethnic identity is one thing but refusing to mix is just plain racism.
but dont go to their Village! because they become very bad in their Village.
I am afraid that many believe that Wikipedia content are facts, not opinions and they keep changing by use contribution.
No the new conservative in USA are Christian but they are Zionist
wow very good Victoria you should read about Zionism as well. The Judaism is religion not nation.
There is no modern state of Israel, there is state was created by the Britan on the land of the Palatinian people.
my respect , i give...
So all Zionist are Jews but not all Jews are Zionist?
they are just jealous because they have small *** ;) minds
Vic I wanna date a Jewish girl again. By chance are you Jewish?
Why did the man walking early in the morning get wet, because he stepped on a few Dews?
UKEng, I said Zionism not jews. Zionism is not religion
The Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים Yehudim [jɛhuːdiːm]), also known as the Jewish people, are a nation and ethnoreligious group originating in the Israelites or Hebrews of the Ancient Near East. The Jewish ethnicity, nationality, and religion are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the traditional faith of the Jewish nation.[6][7][8] Converts to Judaism, whose status as Jews within the Jewish ethnos is equal to those born into it, have been absorbed into the Jewish people throughout the millennia.
In Jewish tradition, Jewish ancestry is traced to the Biblical patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the second millennium BCE. The Jews currently enjoy political autonomy in the State of Israel, an independent state which is located in their national homeland, the Land of Israel. It officially defines itself as a Jewish state in its Basic Laws, and is the only country in the world where Jews constitute a majority of the population. They have also experienced political autonomy twice during ancient history. The first of the two ancient eras spanned from 1350[9] to 586 BCE, and encompassed the periods of the Judges, the United Monarchy, and the Divided Monarchy of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, ending with the destruction of the First Temple. The second era was the period of the Hasmonean Kingdom spanning from 140 to 37 BCE. Since the destruction of the First Temple, the diaspora has been the home of most of the world's Jews.[10] Except in the modern State of Israel, Jews are a minority in every country in which they live, and they have frequently experienced persecution throughout history, resulting in a population that fluctuated both in numbers and distribution over the centuries.
Maybe Our good friend Mr Dracula could shed some light on that!
Vic so does that mean that all Vampires are Jewish?
woah....bloody he** , a vampire?? malum??
Zionism is not nation, it is the pricipal to how to suck the other people blood
Zionism is not nation, it is principal of how to suck the other people blood
Davanici so is Nationalism..
Zionism is racism, always
It states: "They ask to be close to you, try to find favour with you, and give you all the attention in world. They know how to act with courtesy, as if they really care for you, but their behaviour is only temporary. The moment you are in their hands, in their village, under their control, everything changes.
"Your life will never go back to the way it was, and the attention you so desired will turn into curses, beatings, and humiliations."
(they have their reasons for stating this for sure..)hmmm.
Imagine a cardinal says the same about Christian woman to not date a Jew man.
Fox news, CNN, and etc. will blame the Vatican with anti-Semitism.
Hillary Clinton and Ban Ki-Moon will address the world all the day.
The might is the right
Not just jews.Even other nationalities are telling their sons & daughters to marry someone from the same country up to now..
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
Hislam,ok we will not date arab..;)
UK what about Arab jews? Are they also off for them?
Please, don't date Arab men, pleeeaaase.
You have a wiser head on your shoulders than I. Having thought about it - You have a valid point... :O)
Britexpat..again you trying to be politically correct. Now what is different with Jews advise their children not to date Arabs from the Asians in the Uk advising the same to their children.
RACIST!
Wishing to retain acultural identity is one thing, but to malign and label a people without facts is racism..
Yes Oryx..
Also the same practice is widely practiced by the people from the Subcontinent living in UK for many years, but still want their children to have arranged marriges to cousins or partners of the same race, religion and back ground!
Clearly racist. Freedom of expression does not extend to generalizing and insulting a generalized category of people without any solid backing.
Brit,There's trial & error,if you are not sure what formula to use in solving the equation. Just like dating someone from different race,u don't know who will fit u..
Math is an exact science. there is no trial and error :o)
A lot of people in qatar are dating someone from different race..They may not love each other truly but they're together coz they both need a company..
Duhhhh..I'll date whoever I want daddy brit..
the problem with them is they tend to be adamant becoz of their beliefs,i can't blame them,they have their reasons. I do have my reasons to for believing the opposite..If we believe in something we always think that we are right. But we can't change the fact that people differ. Each of us is entitled to say what we want,it's just that not all people will be pleased..Just like atoms of different charge,it always attracts,there will always be reactions..
ditto Manchester
Jews encourage their children very much to marry other Jews.
As far as I am concerned if you aren't happy that your child or friend dates someone who is not of the same race or religion you should not live in the UK.
Such people want to be treated 'equally' by the system but don't practice it on an individual level. Hypocrasy.
racist ~ there is n diff on who or where we come from, whatever our race is. we all have good and bad in us. it's not the religion, tribes or whatsoever.
UK - i refused that date... :(
But i don't totally agree about dictating people who to date..It's not them who will date the person anyway so why bother?
Translator..Let me correct my last statement that you are refering to above..
That some Arab Tribes who still practice their culture hold those beliefs.
choosing the right man to date is like trial & error in mathematics. Uncertainty is concomitant of it,as well as failure. IMO, love don't always cross boundaries like fairytales..Only few christian women who dated muslims ended up converting to muslim & marrying the man. Ukeng is right,religion matters maybe not all of the time but most of the time.
Yes Britexpat.. When will people realise that we are living in the 21st century but some belief and cultural practices will never change. Either you respect them, or you ignore them, call then Stone age, racist but its their belief and you cannot do much about.
Ok the political statement would be respect each others belief and freedom of speach. But respect and freedom of choice or speach comes with great responsibilty.
Just because you dont agree with it does not mean it is wrong! and by agreeing with it with does not make it right!
Hold that thought UkEngQatar. Jewish is a religion, and a Jew can be of any ethnic background. Arab is a national attribute of people who speak the Arabic language. Please understand the limitations of the comparison.
The truth of the matter is that many Jews are re-visiting the issue of limited options for marriage, in the age of globalization and open dialogue of cultures. Religious zealots attempting their best to reverse the trend and keep their hands in every bodies business, and pockets.
Victoria fancy a Date from the Palm Tree?
Wake up.. This is the real world :O(
no problem...can date anybody, as long as can be persuaded for a date
cheers
in the world is a racist by some means or the other. The above so called freedom of speech is completely uncalled for.
But isnt that the same freedom of speech the bad guys of pak have been using to spew venom against Indians. And it is the same freedom that bad guys in India have been using to spew venom against Muslims.
there are so many examples of freedom of speech being misused everyday in the world.
I dont think we can discuss it all here :P
FS afterall..To this day they believe and practice that that the children of Israel are pure and the Choosen ones as per the text of the old Testament.
Arabs also believe in similar ideology.
tink, still surprised? ;)
Thank God I am not a Jew!! :)
Yea looks like they are trying to keep their race pure...they dont have much tolerance..
I cant imagine a Jewish guy marrying an Arab girl...:(
Britexpat.. I had many interaction with Jewish colleagues and people in London. They always used to encourage their sons and dauaghters to date at early age and with other jewish girls and boys.
Isn't this a case of just trying to keep culture / race pure ?>
These bunch of whimps makeup the society I am afraid to tell you..:(
Don't hijack the thread :O)
n what their study considers about north americans, south asians or europeans!
Yes Religion does dictate love..A Christian Man cannot marry a Muslim Girl and the family and society they live in will never accept it.
Blame the Jewish men not being interested in Jewish women anymore. A letter should have been written to the Jewish men, encouraging them to reverse the trend. Racist indeed, and politically motivated.
If those very few people somehow manage to change the way they think, this world will surely become a peaceful place to live in.
Wow.. I had similar problem with my ex-jewish girl friend from Golders Green. She only left me when her Fathers suspected me of looking like an Arab.
After that episode I never grew a beard..:(
Freedom of Speech does not allow you to cross the boundaries and become racist.
who are they to tell people what to do and what not to do?
racist indeed!
