This thread is totally insane. There were Gedolei oilam that had serious doubts about the jewishness of these people. There’s nothing racist about facts- acknowledging, for example, that black men having a higher rate of heart disease than white men is not racist, it is medical fact. Having doubts as to how Jewish these people are in halachic terms is not racist, as seen by the psak shown above by rabanim on equal footing with R’ ovadia, if not bigger. If we’re dealing with those who have not undergone giyur, this is nothing more than liberal nonsense. While R’ Yosef is entitled to his psak, so is the eida. If we’re dealing with after giyur, it depends on who did it, If it was the rabbanut, there’s def makom for chashashos. Bikitzur, this is stupid.
Joseph- I don’t know if anyone on the eida today is as big a Gaon as R ovadia, but the dayanim brought down above certainly were.
