  > Israel is not defined by ethnicity, I can get Israeli citizenship if I claim that I have converted to Judaism. Don’t they only accept ultra-orthodox conversions?[1] Good luck with that. Jewish conversion is much more akin to a tribal adoption into the community than it is to conversion in the other Abrahamic faiths. For Christianity, depending on the denomination, conversion can be as little as saying you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. And in Islam literally all you have to do is sincerely say the shahada and you’re Muslim. Edit: [1] looks like there was just recently a supreme court case permitting non orthodox conversions, but I expect the Knesset will overturn it. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israels-top-court-recognizes-reform-conservative-conversions/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/israels-top-court-recognizes-r...
