Black Hebrew gets Israeli citizenship
February 3, 2009

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- A Black Hebrew received Israeli citizenship for the first time.

Elyakim Ben-Israel, 62, received a summons in the mail from Israel's Interior Ministry Monday inviting him to pledge his allegiance to the state, Ynet reported.

The first Black Hebrews, who claim to be descendants of the Tribe of Judah, arrived in Israel from the United States and Liberia nearly 40 years ago.

Ynet reported Monday that the Interior Ministry said more members of the Black Hebrew community will receive citizenship approval letters.

Maybe...you have a few types of black hebrews

The types that are very anti-semetic anti white in your face..those aren't hebrews.
The types that do everything that resembles Jews...not really sure what they are, but I think this is teh group your are referring to.

In reality, whatever...doesn't matter what they look like..they need to convert to Judaism according to the Torah properly and become real converts and not simply, Black Hebrews, for this to be proper and correct.

They should be just "Jews" if they are of Jewish Decent...Skin color does not matter.

The Black Hebrews are a group of negroes with little or no Jewish ancestry who say they are the REAL jews, and they say that the real jews are fake jews. They hate white people and Jews.
