הפליטים, אוקראינה, הגיור, ואלעזר שטרן / Refugees, The Ukraine, Jewish Conversion, and Elazar Stern

בשיחה עם חדשות כיפה התייחס השר אלעזר שטרן לחוק הגיור שקידם מאחורי הקלעים, "כהנא ניסה להשיג הסכמות, בעיקר מהרבנות והם מרחו אותו" | על האיום של רע"מ לא להצביע: "או שכל הערבים לא יתערבו או שכולם יתערבו"

״הגיור זאת סוגיה אסטרטגית לקיום שלנו והיא גדלה עם גל העלייה מאוקראינה"?
כך ח״כ אלעזר שטרן אתר לפני כשנה. איך יכול להיות בית מפעל של  גיור לכל פליטים שמחפשים חיים ברמה כלכלית מהחיים ביוקראינה עוזר לקיום של עם ישראל? הוא השתגע?!

לאחרוניה סיפרו לי על מקרה בזמן ביקור אלעזר שטרן לגבעת שמואל. בקניון מישהו כנראה בגלל המבטא רוסי שלו, הוא שאל, ״אתה יהודי?״

מישהו צעוק עליו וקורא לו ״שמאלני״. ואלעזר שטרן רק יכל להגיב ככה? באיזה סרט אלעזר שטרן חי?

זה אותו אלעזר שטרן ולפני זה היה אחד ממבצעי גירוש כ-10,000 יהודים מבתיהם ומאדמותם בעזה וצפון השומרון.


זה אותו ח״כ אלעזר שטרן שבעד קליטת כל הפליטים האלה כביכול מאוקראינה ומתנגד לביטול סעיף הנכד של חוק השבות שכן חשוב לקיומנו.


אחרי תקיפתו
בדרום ת״א
לכן אני שואל את ח״כ אלעזר שטרן מה אכפת לו אם הגבר שתקף אותו הוא יהודי או לא? ח״כ שטרן הוא לא בעד זכות לכל אזרח מדינת ישראל, יהודי או לא יהודי, לחופש הביטוי?

האם ח״כ שטרן מודע שאחת המטרות הנסרות להביא כל הגוים האלה מאוקראינה היא כדי לעלות את מספר המצביעים למפלגות המרכז השמאל?

הוא טיפש עד כדי כך? או פשוט מסתיר שהוא באמת יודע את זה?
Jewish Agency chairman Doron Almog calls efforts to bring Jewish refugees to Israel "one of the largest rescue operations in history." 
Israel National News, Feb 19, 2023

...The olim arrived in Israel with the help of The Jewish Agency, which worked in cooperation with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), and established emergency Aliyah (immigration to Israel) centers in countries bordering Ukraine immediately once hostilities broke out. At these centers, the refugees had a safe haven until they arrived in Israel.

...along with help from Christian Friends of Israel....(cont.)

...Elazar Stern Calls for Emergency Conversions
It did not take long for a third side to emerge in this ideological battle: Two government ministers demanded the establishment of an “emergency giyur” system for the immigrants from Ukraine who are considered Jewish only by virtue of the Law of Return but not by dint of halacha. This proposal was first voiced by Elazar Stern, who insisted that there is a need for special botei din to convert tens of thousands of immigrants from Ukraine whose Jewish status is questionable according to halacha. “If this is an emergency situation, then we need emergency giyur,” he announced in a cabinet session. Finance Minister Yvette Lieberman, who hails originally from Moldova, took the matter one step further by proclaiming, “We should be doing mass conversions, like in Bavel.”

Of course, these assertions did not go unchallenged. Uri Maklev of UTJ declared, “Emergency giyur is an attempt to change the political map in Israel by giving an automatic stamp of Jewishness to every refugee. Unfortunately, the ministers of this government are trying to bring hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians into the country, not because they care about the refugees’ well-being or about the state, but rather in a bid to change the political map in Israel and to alter the character of the state. This isn’t just giyur that doesn’t conform to halacha; it is not giyur at all....
Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Is it just me, or has no one else yet figured out what "emergency conversions" are? Actually, MK Uri Maklev provides us with the best explanation yet.

I was recently told the following story about MK Elazar Stern.

During one of the recent election campaigns, probably about two years ago, Stern was visiting Givat Shmuel, a mixed, religious mamlakhti (diehard state loyalist) and secular suburb in the Greater Tel-Aviv area. While at the mall someone yelled at him and called him "leftist" and some other not so nice nicknames. Probably because of his Russian accent, Stern asked him, "Are you Jewish?" 

This is the same Elazar Stern who, in 2013, was struck by an African refugee infiltrator while touring the Southern Tel-Aviv hell created for the residents there by these infiltrators. After he was attacked, Stern suggested that the solution was to distribute the infiltrators more widely across the country.  

Mah. Gen. Elazar SternBefore that was one of the perpetrators of the 2005 expulsion of almost10,000 Jews from their homes and our Land in Gaza and the Northern Samaria.

How can being a conversion factory for any and all refugees looking for a better life (and better weather!) than  life in the Ukraine even before the hostilities broke out a year ago. help the existence of the people of Israel? Has he gone crazy?!

Someone shouted at him and called him a "leftist," and all Stern could do was to ask him if he was Jewish? What fantasy is he living in? 

This is the same MK Elazar Stern who is in favor of taking in all these supposed refugees from the Ukraine and opposes the cancellation of the Grandchild Clause of the Law of Return, thus maintaining access to Israeli citizenship and voting rights to countless non-Jews. 

Are you beginning to see the pattern here?

I am very happy that Jews are managing to escape from the Ukraine. But how many of these refugees are really Jewish? With the one Jewish grandparent requirement still in place, and the involvement of the IFCJ and Christian Friends of Israel [CFI] in this operation, who can say for certain?

This is why I ask what MK Elazar Stern cares if the man who attacked him is Jewish or not? Isn't he in favor of the right of every citizen of the State of Israel, Jewish or non-Jewish, to freedom of expression? 

Is MK Stern aware that one of the ultimate goals of settling non-Jews in Israel from the Ukraine and elsewhere is to increase the number of voters for the center left-wing parties?

Is he that stupid? Or just hiding the fact that he really does know?

By now, most should be aware of who this Elazar Stern character is. His goal seems to be and I truly believe it is and that is to water down not only Torah itself but to water down the Jewish people where he could create a whole new erev rav amaleiki people within our midst. He is a kofer, an apikorus of the worst kind. This must be stopped in its tracks. The treaachery from within is frightening.

Must add another few words to my original comment. The Jewish Agency and their cohorts like this erev rav made sure to bring in loads of non-Jews from the Ukraine as they originally did with the Russians who came in a number of years ago. These radical leftists are 'all erev rav'.
You can be sure of that. Since we are at the end of history before the coming of Moshiach tzdkeinu, all the rah is being exposed and is now dominant in the world.
Hashem is in total control. Whereas evil thinks it can win, H' will show them otherwise.

Moshe, yeah, he's pretty bad. See more by clicking his label in the right-hand column.

The Jewish Agency is notorious. I heard this first hand from the new immigrants from the Former Soviet Union themselves in 1997-98, when I lived with 300 of them in an absorption center.

I also heard of one secular representative complaining about the active recruitment of non-Jews.

Then there was my haredi friend who was approached by a young Jew in the middle a small town in the Ukraine. They communicated in Yiddish. Apparently, this was what her grandparents and parents had to give to her. Her family told him that they didn't have the money for a train to Kyiv to visit the Jewish Agency to begin the process of aliya. This was before the prevalence of internet access.
