We are speaking about passing a law which purports to separate Jewish nationality from Jewish religion. To oppose this bill means that in fact there is no separation between nationality and religion, nor can there be. I am neither shaken nor horrified. Our mortal enemies attack us that way. Since the days of the blood libels cast upon our people, there has been no lie more terrifying that this one which we Jews have ourselves originated.
Racism is cruel.
Racism hates foreigners and proselytes. Halacha is just the reverse. And thou shalt not torment nor oppress the stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt. If he is a convert and has come to study Torah, he must not be reminded of his past, or humiliated, for he has come to study the Torah which was given by the Almighty. The Torah is profoundly anti-racist.
