@downpunxx In his defense, the issue is not with Judaism but with the current government of Israel. There are plenty of people jumping at the chance of muddying the waters and conjoin both groups as inseparable.

The leading party (Likud) and it's ultra-orthodox partners (e.g. UTJ) regularly make overtures about non-Orthodox, non-Israeli Jews not being "real" Jews.
