A lot of things are unnaceptable. Attacking my country on its southern border is unacceptable, even if you can find allies to help you.

He is pestering you, but has not been abusive, profane or cruel.

If you have no interest in discussing what he wishes (quite vehemently, it would appear), then might I suggest the Ignore button?

You are Jewish if your Mother is Jewish or you have converted to Judaism via the Orthodox route , the lads Mother is NOT Jewish which under Religious law means he is not Jewish , his Father is Jewish .

In Islam the Child follows the Fathers Faith not the Mothers .

There is currently a large hullabaloo about the lad but I doubt that will change much

He makes pacts with the devil, but then he doesn't want to talk about it. 

I've heard and read that the devil can be your best friend, but he will want your soul in exchange. Bad things can happen if you don't relinquish your soul when the devil comes looking for it. (Somehow musicians, especially violinists, manage to escape this fate. It's a great mystery.)

I'm not convinced that BM fully comprehends the dangers of such exchanges with the devil.

A True Warrior needs to know the risks, as well as the rewards. He would be well advised to look at the History of advanced cultures with long experience in war and with making such pacts with the devil.

But back home in Israel, his hopes of trading gold wedding bands with his longtime girlfriend seem to be an impossible dream.

You should repost this in my "Family Values" thread.

A long time ago, my wife lost her wedding ring. She was very sad about it, but every time she mentioned it, she would end it with, "but it isn't real gold". Now, some folks might be offended, but it's really just a reflection of her culture and her history and her identity. She's a bit of a gold snob, because she used to wash gold with her mother to buy candles with in El Bordo so she could read at night. 

She eventually found it, and she was very happy, but of course, she felt the need to point out that it wasn't real gold.

My wife assures me that the pair of wedding rings being made in the opening scenes of this video documentary are made out of real gold. I generally take her word for it when it comes to gold.

Danza Colombia: Trayecto Pacífico - 2. Cuerpo
 
Este capítulo narra cómo los ancestros de los afrocolombianos soportaron los vejámenes y torturas propias de la esclavitud. Cuenta que a través de la danza sus cuerpos recibieron el aliento que necesitaban para no morir explotando la mina en busca del oro que querían sus amos. Y mientras recapitulamos información desconocida sobre este pasado reconocemos danzas que revelan esta tradición del cuidado del cuerpo y la conciencia del mismo, como el abozao, levantapolvo, fox trot, expresiones libres como los revulús en las fiestas de San Pacho y danzas de laboreo como la Batea.

Danza Colombia: Pacific Journey - 2. Body

This chapter narrates how the ancestors of the Afro-Colombians endured the humiliations and tortures of slavery. It tells how through dance their bodies received the encouragement they needed to not die exploiting the mine in search of the gold their masters wanted. And while we recapitulate unknown information about this past, we recognize dances that reveal this tradition of body care and body awareness, such as the abozao, levantapolvo, fox trot, free expressions such as the revulús in the festivities of San Pacho and labor dances such as the Batea.

OK, so he's not a Fundamentalist like you. 

Then again, neither is Jon Ossoff, Georgia's First Jewish US Senator.

Meh....

From the article:

"A 2019 survey by the Israel Democracy Institute found that almost 60% of Israeli Jews support civil marriage."
