My grandfather and his descendants were Jews, will Israel let me in?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

I have heard a simular question in the past and, to the best of my understanding (loving Israel and the Israeli people) I had heard that you must have at the minimum 1/8 Jewish Blood flowing through your veins and ateries to be considered as a part of the Jewish Populous. If your Grandfather was fully Jewish (and your Grandmother was not), that would make your one parent (on the Jewish side) 1/2 Jewish Blood. A parent with 1/2 Jewish Blood (and your other parent is not), would make YOU well within the margin between 1/4 and 1/8 Jewish Blood which means that you would be considered highly as a canidate for Jewish residency and citizenship. Your last name also which determines whether or not it was your mother or your father who was of Jewish Decent may also play a determining factor upon your eligibility...but not nearly as important as a deciding factor. Jewish Blood is Jewish Blood and if you have that much Jewish Blood within you, I would have to conclude that you are indeed Jewish.

Answer 3

I don't know why you would want to be part of a blind nation. Romans 11: 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. They rejected the Lord Jesus Christ as their king and when they blasphemed the Holy Ghost and they blinded and they fell. Acts 7: 51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Today in the age of grace, God is dealing with all people alike through the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins. Believe and trust in that and you can spend eternity in heaven. Galatians 3: 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Answer 4

was puzzled for a long time about the odd belief which apparently persists in America that Palestine has somehow "always been a Jewish land." Recently an American I talked to cleared up this mystery. He pointed out that the only things most Americans know about Palestine are what they read in the Bible. It was a Jewish land in those days, they reason, and they assume it has always remained so.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. It is absurd to reach so far back into the mists of history to argue about who should have Palestine today, and I apologise for it. Yet the Jews do this, and I must reply to their "historic claim." I wonder if the world has ever seen a stranger sight than a group of people seriously pretending to claim a land because their ancestors lived there some 2,000 years ago!

If you suggest that I am biased, I invite you to read any sound history of the period and verify the facts.

Such fragmentary records as we have indicate that the Jews were wandering nomads from Iraq who moved to southern Turkey, came south to Palestine, stayed there a short time, and then passed to Egypt, where they remained about 400 years. About 1300 BC (according to your calendar) they left Egypt and gradually conquered most—but not all—of the inhabitants of Palestine.

It is significant that the Philistines—not the Jews—gave their name to the country: "Palestine" is merely the Greek form of "Philistia."

Only once, during the empire of David and Solomon, did the Jews ever control nearly—but not all—the land which is today Palestine. This empire lasted only 70 years, ending in 926 BC. Only 250 years later the Kingdom of Judah had shrunk to a small province around Jerusalem, barely a quarter of modern Palestine.

In 63 BC the Jews were conquered by Roman Pompey, and never again had even the vestige of independence. The Roman Emperor Hadrian finally wiped them out about 135 AD. He utterly destroyed Jerusalem, rebuilt under another name, and for hundreds of years no Jew was permitted to enter it. A handful of Jews remained in Palestine but the vast majority were killed or scattered to other countries, in the Diaspora, or the Great Dispersion. From that time Palestine ceased to be a Jewish country, in any conceivable sense.

This was 1,815 years ago, and yet the Jews solemnly pretend they still own Palestine! If such fantasy were allowed, how the map of the world would dance about!

Italians might claim England, which the Romans held so long. England might claim France, "homeland" of the conquering Normans. And the French Normans might claim Norway, where their ancestors originated. And incidentally, we Arabs might claim Spain, which we held for 700 years.

Many Mexicans might claim Spain, "homeland" of their forefathers. They might even claim Texas, which was Mexican until 100 years ago. And suppose the American Indians claimed the "homeland" of which they were the sole, native, and ancient occupants until only some 450 years ago!

I am not being facetious. All these claims are just as valid—or just as fantastic—as the Jewish "historic connection" with Palestine. Most are more valid.

In any event, the great Moslem expansion about 650 AD finally settled things. It dominated Palestine completely. From that day on, Palestine was solidly Arabic in population, language, and religion. When British armies entered the country during the last war, they found 500,000 Arabs and only 65,000 Jews.

If solid, uninterrupted Arab occupation for nearly 1,300 years does not make a country "Arab", what does?

The Jews say, and rightly, that Palestine is the home of their religion. It is likewise the birthplace of Christianity, but would any Christian nation claim it on that account? In passing, let me say that the Christian Arabs—and there are many hundreds of thousands of them in the Arab World—are in absolute agreement with all other Arabs in opposing the Zionist invasion of Palestine.

May I also point out that Jerusalem is, after Mecca and Medina, the holiest place in Islam. In fact, in the early days of our religion, Moslems prayed toward Jerusalem instead of Mecca.

The Jewish "religious claim" to Palestine is as absurd as the "historic claim." The Holy Places, sacred to three great religions, must be open to all, the monopoly of none. Let us not confuse religion and politics.

We are told that we are inhumane and heartless because do not accept with open arms the perhaps 200,000 Jews in Europe who suffered so frightfully under Nazi cruelty, and who even now—almost three years after war’s end—still languish in cold, depressing camps.

Answer 5

basically because they suffered would not supply them the right to make others conflict through, I extremely could say I extremely have considered Dr. Finkelstein and that i'll't say he's that sturdy. All he does is yell and get opinionated, if it is what he calls a debate...... nicely i don't believe of he advantages that a lot credit. that's appalling what people will spoil out with because of both their previous or their faith. people assume that because you've been wronged it delivers free reign to interrupt others; of direction it isn't properly. yet seem what u.s. did? what's the first element u.s. does after 9/11? even notwithstanding u.s. became in Iraq before 9/11 even occurred, Iraq not in any respect blew up any kindergartens; yet no-one ever holds u.s. answerable for his or her blood rain... i imagine that's basically the bully mentality, the primal favor to assert ones position and acquire ones "territory." that's not properly, notwithstanding that's human.

Answer 6

Yes. Israel will accept anyone who had one Jewish grandparent. They use this standard as it was the one used by the Nazis to determine who was of Jewish descent and, therefore, should go to a gas chamber.

Answer 7

I don't see why not.

Answer 8

In for what ? God accepts all who come to Him either Jews or Gentiles

Answer 9

Depends.
What was you grandmother and father and mother.

If your parents were non-Jewish I do not think so.

Answer 10

Yes, if you have any proof at all.
