Their homeland’s version of Jewish religion was forced conversion to Christianity. Yes, if they want to emigrate to Israel, which again nobody is forcing them to do, they have to do it as Jews, duh.

LOL. Your sense of European colonialism must be remarkably sanitized then. There is no coercion here to emigrate, no exploitation of natural resources, and no actual colony. Instead minority members of an impoverished third world nation are being given an opportunity to have a life and raise their families in a first world country. Their children will have access to modern education and healthcare instead of a 50% literacy rate and famine.

Serioulsy? You take people from the Ethiopian horror of that time who were told they were Jews just like the iSraelis they are brought over and then lo! they are told their tribal elders are not true religous authorities and their marriages are not true marriages and they are not really Jews now convert or not be granted rights etc in the new land they were taken to? Seriously?
