I looked up quotes from the Hebrew Bible to see what it said about "Truth".... Deuteronomy 4:29 said something pertinent:
"But if from there you seek the LORD your ***, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul."

Nobody should lie to get a free trip -- and nobody should ever lie about their religion.

Well, they could let them go and drop them off in the Gaza Strip. (just kidding)

Just FYI; DNA discoveries of the Jewish race.

There is now new and exciting DNA evidence for common Jewish origin -- not just among Cohanim, the Priestly Class, but among Jews scattered all over the globe.



Recently published research in the field of molecular genetics –- the study of DNA sequences –- indicates that Jewish populations of the various Diaspora communities have retained their genetic identity throughout the exile. Despite large geographic distances between the communities and the passage of thousands of years, far removed Jewish communities share a similar genetic profile. This research confirms the common ancestry and common geographical origin of world Jewry.

Jewish men from communities which developed in the Near East –- Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan, Yemen -- and European Jews have very similar, almost identical genetic profiles.

"Despite their long-term residence in different countries and isolation from one another, most Jewish populations were not significantly different from one another at the genetic level. The results support the hypothesis that the paternal gene pools of Jewish communities from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East descended from a common Middle Eastern ...

You might fool a few people, by lying about being Jewish, but *** knows who his choosen ones are. I suspect he won't be to happy about someone "sneaking under the fence" I do enough to already to keep *** upset with me without adding my lying about being Jewish to the heap.

Would you agree Jews are in exile and should not have a state. Esp since it can't exist without America and its allies protecting it and giving it lots and lots of money at a loss?

I wouldn't... I have no problem with people having there fairy tails but not when lives hang in the balance. Israel can't see through there own BS to see that they are doing to the Palestinians what Hitler tried to do to them... I am not an anti semite because I really don't care who *** is to you... Israel really needs to stop and look at itself... Here in america Jewishness is being wiped out through inter marriage.

I am Jewish I don't need to pretend, and I can pay my own way, I was an observer in Sinai, and made 3 trips on my own.

While I am not Jewish as such, I am a strong supporter of Israel and their battle against Islamic terrorists and will continue to support them. So, it is not like I haven't done anything for them nor won't in the future. It would let me see what I am fighting for.

I thought I should add this.
While I would not lie to be included in the trip, I would make a serious effort to make my case so I could be included on the trip, but only as a supporter.

It's the only fantasy trip I have a desire to go to. To walk where Jesus walked, to look at the mountains that He saw. To eat of the olive and fig trees that He ate. To witness the site of His crucifixion, the tomb where He was laid.

I know, I know, but since I was adopted, I prayed that my biological dad was a Jew, so I could claim Jewishness and be part of Elohim's Chosen People. ********, I know, but the pain of no Dad is still there even after three score years.

Forgive me for telling my truth - the other answer is 100% TRUE for whomever the Son sets free, is free indeed.

I'd love to see you tell people that they should never lie about their religion, Fef. There are perfectly good reasons and times to lie.

That said, it's true that this typically isn't one of them.

Nevertheless, while I was born into a Jewish family and am therefore 'Jewish', I am not a subscriber of its beliefs. I haven't gone to Israel yet, although my brother has twice. I might go, probably when I'm in my twenties, and I would definitely use this.

I'm "Jewish" but only by birth. Guess that's my birthright. Might as well use it.
