No. Messianics, as a whole, are not regonised as Jews by the State of Israel. This includes those who were born to Jewish families but converted to Messianic Christianity. The Supreme Court of Israel has clarified that Messianic Judaism is a form of Christianity and as such Messianic Jews do not qualify for the Right of Return.
ISRAEL is a modern state that was created in 1948 by Jews in Palestine.
Israel is a democratic state there for she is not belong to anybody! . since israel born it decided that israel will be the country of everyone, the Jews get special law called "law of return", wich let Jews all over the world to come to israel and become a citizen, this law came because the state wanted also to create a "safe home" for the Jews .
No, he was born in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Netanyahu was born in the Sudan. He still has relatives living and working overthere. This born in Tel Aviv and the name change by his family is pretty much standard with Jews coming from other Middle Eastern countries.
They are people who were born Jewish, plus people who converted into Judaism.
This question is nebulous because it does not give a timeframe. If the intent is to discuss the modern State of Israel, the majority of Jewish immigration to State came in waves. There were the immigrations during the 1920s to 1940s where around 300,000 Jews immigrated to Israel. There were the immigrations from the Arab World in which around 500,000 Jews immigrated to Israel. There were the sporadic missions which brought in about 100,000 Jews from Ethiopia, Yemen, and other countries and there was the Russian immigration in the early 1990s that brought in 1,000,000 immigrants. There is also sporadic immigration from Europe and the Americas. Most Israelis today are Sabras (native-born Jews).
There is no test of knowledge to become a citizen of Israel for either Jews or non-Jews. Jews can become citizens through the Law of Return, which grants citizenship based on person's Jewish heritage. Non-Jews can typically become citizens through being born in Israel, being reunified with family members in Israel, or by having their application for citizenship approved by the Israeli Department of the Interior. See the Israeli Government site below for more details.
Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics population report for 24th April 2007 states that there were approximately 5,415,000 Jews, 1,425,000 Arabs (Muslims and Christians)and 310,000 others. The 'other' proportion appear to be persons who entered Israel as Jews but since declared themselves to be atheists. The proportion of Jews is slightly over 75%.
Of Course. The jews, founders of Israel, at one point in History (Before Jesus) were slaves.
The answer depends on exactly what you means by "from" Bethlehem: born in Bethlehem or currently living in Bethlehem. If he first, then let X = All persons born in Bethlehem. Y = All persons born in Israel. The probability of a person born is Israel being from Bethlehem is X/Y. There is probably a need for a correction, though. What about people born in Bethlehem before 1948. Whatever your political angle, they were not born in Israel because Israel did not exist as a state that time!
If you are Jewish, you would be covered under the Israeli Law of Return, by which all Jews have an automatic right to visit or immigrate to Israel, a country whose official reason for existing is to provide a refuge for all Jews against the global scourge of anti-Semitism. If, however, you are not Jewish, then yes, you need a visa (but Israel does value tourism, and chances are you can get a visa).
These are two very different questions and it is much easier to see them answered independently:Where was Jesus born?Why are Jews and Muslims fighting in Israel?
