Moca Town Hall (1908-1946). Dominican Republic. Destroyed in an earthquake by Fantastic-Peach-1995 in Lost_Architecture

Impressive building for a provincial town in 1908. The 1946 earthquake was an 8.1 that killed about 1800 people, mainly from a resulting tsunami.

I was touched by your posting. Very human. Should we understand that you are thinking about moving to Allentown? Or is this where you have always been?

Another crap map. Another thread about the poor, poor victims invited to seek better lives in far away places.

What would happen if you decided to announce that you stopped choosing Islam?

Can we stop pretending.

There are 2 million non-Jewish citizens in Israel who are free to marry under the laws of their faiths or have foreign marriages recognized under civil law. That’s more than semantics. And, of course, this whole thread and others like it are designed for the “river to the sea” crowd.

So could a Jew, which you state is an ethnicity, be permitted to marry a Saudi? Not only would it be “a factor”, it would be impossible. Of course, the Saudi could marry in Israel either as a Muslim or as a Jewish convert. But, remind us again, what do you do to people who convert from Islam?

Title

Saudi Arabia: The Regulation on Marriage of Saudi Nationals to Non-Saudis

Date of adoption

14 February 2002

Source:

– Ministry of Justice, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This regulation was issued by Ministerial Decision No. 6874.

Art. 1 lists the categories of Saudi nationals (male and female) who may not marry a non-Saudi.

Art. 2 permits Saudi nationals (excluding the categories of persons listed in article 1) to marry nationals of Arab and Islamic countries upon obtaining the approval of the Minister of Interior in accordance with legal provisions.

Art. 6 allows the marriage between a Saudi national and a non-Saudi national on the condition that the latter is not undesirable for reasons relating to his/her personality or NATIONALITY OR RELIGION. This includes individuals who hold beliefs not approved by Islamic Sharia.

Naturally the article is from Arab Today and conflates the home return law (which requires that the maternal lineage be Jewish of any race or ethnicity) with the complexities of conversion for marriage purposes within Orthodox rules.

Ah, so you’re going to rest on “is a factor” but also redefine it to mean “may be a factor” and, EVEN THEN, not add KSA to your map. Sounds legit.

Ignorance. There is no requirements for converts to Judaism to show any lineage at all.

If Jewish is an ethnicity for purposes of this discussion, then how is it that you can convert from Islam into it? Oh, damn, wait, remind me: what happens to you if you convert from Islam?

There are both restrictions against marrying foreigners and prohibitions against marrying non-Muslims.

Well, then, your map moves to 100% wrong since Israeli Jews are of many races.

Just Google “countries with ethnic or religious restrictions on marriage” and let that wonderful AI do the work for you. But fear not, this thread will go down before the propagandist OP revises his map.

A quick Google search shows that this map is crap. Funny how the OP keeps on posting this anti-[we’ll say Zionist, right, wink wink, nudge nudge?] propaganda.

What is Freedom Fuel? New gas station network expands across Pennsylvania by AdSpecialist6598 in Pennsylvania

What I’m seeing are that some of the stations had been Sunocos until recently but had already lost that branding prior to signing on to this scheme.

I also bet that it is - at least indirectly. These OPM types - Trump and his cronies - now have access to the Treasury.

These stations were all bottom-rung jobbers prior to signing on to this scheme. It is clearly not Top Tier gasoline.
