Israeli gov’t funds group fighting ‘miscegenation marriages’

A landmark moment in the American conversation about Jim Crow was the rise of Mississippi Governor and Senator Theodore Bilbo who wrote, “Take Your Choice: Separation or Mongrelization.” That was in the late ’40s. It took a while, but America chose. Has Israel? Yossi Gurvitz at 972mag:

The LHVH (“Preventing assimilation in the Holy Land”) organization… is hyperactive in preventing “miscegenation marriages” and preventing the pure daughters of Israel from soiling themselves in contact with non-Jews. It is also rather quick to support the lynching of non-Jews (Hebrew), even if the lynching has nothing to do with assimilation/”miscegenation”.

In this weekend’s Haaretz supplement, Uri Blau and Shay Greenberg show (Hebrew) that LHVH, which is an admittedly Kahanist organization, receives indirect funding from the government. It is funded by the Khemla association, which in turn receives funds from the Welfare Ministry.
