And if any of these “gerim” or their offspring become frum? What will be then?

The Chareidim support the Torah. there is no compromising on that. One positive aspect of the state is having a large concentration of Jews living together. If giyur is compromised than you have goyim living as Jews. this can cause terrible damage to the Jewish People who are living in such togetherness. one will not know who is really Jewish. is that so hard to understand? There is marriage and children being born. people returning to the faith. It has to be clear who is Jewish and who isn’t.

Why was Stern involved in changing the law. Did he want to marry a convert?!

“Why is Yahadut Hatorah so involved with giyur and demanding to change the new law? Is anyone in Bnei Brak marrying a convert?”
let’s ask this differently:
MK Stern, why are YOU so concerned about your giyur law, are you looking for some shiksa to marry?!?

I agree with the first two comments

It is actually impressive that they care enough to make it part of their negotiations instead of just letting the ‘zionist’ Jews do what they want and have their own rules for their communities. Maybe the aka pookas don’t agree but its a good thing we have gedolim that care.

Chareidim should just sit back, shut up, and accept the relabeling of every goy as a Jew.

Those hareidim who oppose the medinah probably don’t. From there perspective, all non-frum Israelis are or soon will be safek goyim due to the many non-Jewish immigrants and the fact that any conversion to being a non-frum Jew is prima facae void. However those support the medinah, support the zionist position of having “one people” and giyur not in accordance with halacha means that the non-Palestinian population of Israel will consist of two distinct groups with different cultures, different religious views, and who don’t see each other as “one people.” The anti-zionist hareidim would reply “You are 70 years too late”.

Because they are NOT selfish people like most others in the government who just care and think about themselves. The Charedim are concerned about the BASIC Jewish laws that go back almost 2,000 years. No personal greed. Not doing to upset anyone!
