Member of Knesset Ksenia Svetlova (Zionist Union) has come out against the initiative of the chief rabbis to manage a list of people whose status as Jews is doubtful under Jewish law, Calling the idea "invalid", She explained, "The national home of the Jewish people is the last place in the world where such a list should be. Jews were 'too Jewish' in the Diaspora, [and] suffered anti-Semitism, persecutions and were murdered only because they were 'doubtful Jews'.
Svetlova warned. "If the law passes, I will turn to the Supreme Court. We are witnessing an ongoing erosion of the status quo, and not always for the benefit of those who are neither haredi nor religious.
