Again, if you don't have the feeling there is nothing to explain you, so ill stop here. Bye bye.
Let's go back to topic.

Again, who said anything about a feeling? i'm talking strictly about israeli citezenship. I know a something about the history of zionism i am also up to date on current israeli politics and even been invited to the kneset at one point.

without SSN?

Yes, mostly just being added users on other peoples account.

        Obviously you have to find trustworthy people and people who are trusting. But I have done this for a quite a number of people.

Having citizenship def comes with it's issues. And no it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how you feel about the land and the country itself.

To SOME people it does.

So you would live there without becoming a citizen?
Then what's with the Gemara that discusses Dina de-malchuta Dina?
sorry to disappoint you but that gemara doesn't apply to eretz yisroel           there's only one malcus in e'y.  and this ain't it.              and yes, i live there without being a citizen; as do many people.   not sure what the relevance of G-d and our heritage has to do with an israeli state that is run, primarily, by completely non-religious jews and has arabs on the government

"So you would live there without becoming a citizen?"
 why not, it's my birthright.

Dina de-malchuta Dina, It's a loaded question it's not so simple (diplomatically speaking). There is a professor by the name of Shiloh who lives on rechov hapalmach in yerushalyim who wrote for his thesis a whole sefer/book on this subject. I suggest you go through some of the sources of the gedolei hoachronim who hold there is no Dina de-malchuta Dina under the rule of Kofrim in eretz yisrael. (minhag hamedina is something else, which is applicable).

I don't know. I've met quite a number of "Israelis" whose parents are American, who've lived their whole lives in Israel without citizenship. Who've been working with a "borrowed" Teudat Zehut number etc etc.

         Somehow to hear stories like that gives me a sick feeling. In my mind there is something so off about that. All in the name of frumkeit. They want to take from the country without giving back.
And yes there are many problems with the Medina. But that's not an excuse.

I'm sorry to say this, but that is utterly ridiculos. who's taking and who's giving? it's their birthright to live in Israel, in fact g-d fearing jews have lived in Isarel way way before the zionist's came into being.

No, not specifically the Army. But that too. It IS our land. We should fight for it and protect it.

Again, what does israeli citezenship have to do with judaisim or the fact that the land was given to the jewish nation by g-d almighty?

A (very near) majority of Jews live in EY today. By bashing "Israeli's" you are bashing all the 5.5m Jews whom hold the citizenship.

But to each their own...

i'm not going into it , it's a long Hashkafah issue .
But i'm not disagree that who ever take's from the country need to give back
but some of them don't take , don't get SS , not taking money from the Gov. etc.

i'm not familiar with the halachic ramifications of the issue.    but, if it's stealing it's obviously a problem, irrelevant of any particular government.  if it's halachically fine, then it's fine, also irrelevant of the particular government.          either way, i'm not sure how that makes a difference as to whether or not a person should feel any religious inclination to be a part of the israeli state.

Utter nonsense, The torah states clearly that learning torah and doing mitzvos protect us and lack of them bring catastrophe.
the leeches in israeli society are the non beleivers, they don't act like jews don't look like jews and don't affiliate as jews rather as "israeli's" but have no problem using the religious jews for their benefit when founding a jewish state. would there have been any jews left in 1948 had the religious also abandoned their ways like the secular had done centuris prior!? the shulchan Aruch or (maimonodies for the more moder bent) clearly right that talmidei chachomim who learn for a living are not required to partake in the tax for protection of the city they dwell in.

They receive the points they earn.
I just did this for a busy Israeli Heating and Cooling guy who has already spent $25,000 since April. And the summer is his busiest time.
