Title: A Jewish President of Russia?; Gingrich on Iran; the struggle against expulsions

Four new Hebrew videos (Dec. 13, 2011). Please "like", favorite and comment. It will only take a minute. Thank you.

1. Will the next President of Russia be a Jew? G-d forbid! Multibillionaire Mikhail Prochorov announces he is running against Vladimir Putin in the March 2012 election.

2. Newt Gingrich says a nuclear Iran will lead to a "second Holocaust". Once again, Gingrich takes a more pro-Israel stand than all of Israel's pathetic "leaders".

3. The Netanyahu-Lieberman regime again plans to expel heroic Jewish families from their G-d-given homeland. This time they seek to expel the Jews from Mitzpeh Yitzhar, Ramat Gilad and other vital outposts.

4. Support the heroic pioneers in the essential hilltop outposts of Judea and Samaria! This video urges Israeli Jews to join our Hebrew movement in order to provide backup to the hilltop heroes.

I believe you that he is but how do you know that Prokhorov is Jewish? He has a typical Russian-sounding name. Don't Russian Jews generally have German names?

His maternal grandmother was Jewish. That means he is Jewish according to Torah law.

First, I hardly think Prokhorov identifies as a Jew, even if he is halachically Jewish.

Second, a man can be born to a Jewish mother, yet be uncircumcised. However, I believe he cannot be halachically Jewish without a circumcision. To be halachically Jewish, he must be ritually circumcised. Under extenuating circumstances (no pun intended)--such as during times of persecution, etc.--a brit milah can occur at any point. Also, to be buried in a Jewish cemetery, a man must be circumcised. If necessary, one can even be circumcised in death (as odd as that sounds) to ensure proper burial. I think this is to ensure a place in ha-olam ha-ba.

If anyone knows anything to the contrary, please let me know. I believe I am correct, but not 100% certain.

 One is Jewish regardless that is Halahically Jewish, but still not being circumcised is very grave sin whose punishment entails Karet if not done.
 Dont know if having a brit Milah after death counts. Maybe they just do it, but still the Commandments were given to the living and not for the dead.

Many neo nazis, antisemites and racists in Russia claim that Jews control Russia. They say "bei zhydov spassi Rissiyu" which means "kill the jews and save Russia".

Prokhorov is not Jewish, neither is Medvedev   ::)

Russian nazis even claim Putin is Jewish. I don't even know why should it matter. Russia is not the country we live in, it's an enemy state that wants to destroy Israel by using Iran, meanwhile north caucasian muslims blew their people up.  :'( Sad
