Israeli ultra-nationalist warns supermodel not to marry DiCaprio
DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli
Supermodel Bar Refaeli is one of Israel’ most successful “exports.”
But, according to a report in LA Times, with fame comes responsibility — and now an Israeli organization is beseeching Refaeli not to wed Leonardo DiCaprio — out of a responsibility to future generations.
“It is not by chance that you were born Jewish,” wrote Baruch Marzel in a letter he sent Refaeli through her mother (and that promptly appeared in the press).
“Your grandmother and her grandmother did not dream that one of their descendants would one day remove the family’s future generations from the Jewish people. Assimilation has forever been one of the enemies of the Jewish people.”
Marzel, a well-known stalwart among Israel’s ultra-nationalists, appealed to Refaeli on behalf of an organization named “Lehava.”
In Hebrew, this means “flame:; it is also the Hebrew acronym for “Preventing Assimilation in the Holy Land.”

This is your curse, as outlined in the Quran.
I guess your religion did not teach you how the importance of reading - in Islam, the first word ever sent down to the Prophet was "read".
Read the article: "Assimilation has forever been one of the enemies of the Jewish people." Point 1.
Read Jewish genealogy: A person is Jewish if his mother is Jewish, so Bar Rafeli-Di Caprio's kids will be Jews. Point 2.
One can only deduce from Points 1&2 that the organisation does not want her to "dilute the Jewish genes". How arrogant!
It's amazing that you use religion to justify your points. Your not even a Muslim. Your just a fool, under the guise of religion. Go promote your anti-semantic statements somewhere else. You are an insult upon Islam and humanity, no better than a terrorist or house fly.
