“There is room in Halacha to allow such people to convert, although the poskim who do hold in this manner are in the minority to say the least.”
So we will be willing to allow very doubtful Gerim into Klal Yisroel? Why is that a good thing?
If they want to be “part of Am Yisrael” but not Orthodox/Shomer Mitzvos, let Israeli citizenship become the new Geiur. Create a new court that converts based on military service, not halacha.
Why mix a very B’Deeved Halacha into the mix and create “Jews” that most of Yareim Klal Yisroel will not recognize?
Since it is Erev Shabbos I will abandon the Socratic Method and give the answer.
Separation of Church and State, and the lack of it in Israel.
So why not admit failure and create civil marriage, divorce, etc. and let each branch do as they please (and have two rings, if you are worried about Keddushi Biyah).
Lack of Separation of Church and State caused Emmanuel and the Chillul Hashem there, as well as the current Chillul Hashem due to the proposed law.
Isn’t it enough?
