The poor suffering world. The world is suffering because Israel is willing to take in slightly over 2,000 Ethiopian Jews, even though you’ve explained to them that they’re stupid for considering these people part of am Yisrael.

Dude, what? How is it hurting the world if these people live in Israel, in Ethiopia, or on the moon? There’s two-freaking-thousand of them. It’s not going to make or break anything.

Please don’t put words in my mouth I was disputing a member’s comments that the “Ethiopian Jews were returning home” as if they were once there in ancient times and migrated to Ethiopia (you knoew another of those lost tribes myths). That is all. No other comment by me was made other than to cite DNA evidence showing the Ethopian “Beta Israel” DNA disproves the assertion that these are lost Jews and that they are identical to local Ethiopian populations. I just don’t liek religious mumbo jumbo to justify real world policies.
