| #3 I'm confused, Anonymoose. Why would the Jews expel members they didn't like instead of trying and convicting under the law those who break it? America doesn't strip the citizenship of those who behave badly, we convict them in a fair trial, then punish according to established precedent. Judaism isn't a country club, where those who pick their noses are blackballed for unacceptable behaviour, and only those with a certain number of votes are accepted in the first place. |

| #2 Sometimes I think the tranzis want to find out that would've happened if defenders of Metzada had WMDs. |

| #1 More than anything else, Israel and the Jews have long needed something they have refused to embrace: excommunication. Not just expulsion from the Jewish faith, but utter and complete rejection of "bad Jews" from the Jewish culture and ethnic group. Also from Israel itself. In Judaism, this would be a novel concept, because even in the Tanakh of the Hebrews, there was no alternative to membership in a tribe, other than death, or the end of your tribe as a group, absorbed by another tribe. Such an idea would not be retroactive, so for example, Leon Trotsky would always be remembered as being a Jew. But in future, a Jew who threatened Israel or the Jewish people with destruction could be declared "not a Jew". Very rare to be carried out, in practice such a declaration would be more a deterrent against "self-hating Jews", that they not overdo their hatred against Jews and Israel, as they have in the past, nor too openly embrace the Jewish and Israeli enemies. |
