...1. Public housing 2. Health insurance 3. Citizenship 4. Freedom from military service Controversial yet effective, the Law of Return has been one of the major factors responsible for the continued aliyah of Jews to Israel in the years after independence. Jews immigrating to Israel are automatically eligible for Israeli citizenship. Who gets this privilege? In 1970, the law was clarified to include 1) children of a Jewish mother or maternal grandmother (born Jews); 2) children with a Jewish father or grandfather (Jewish ancestry); or 3) converts to Judaism. Olah (people who have made aliyah), including Gentiles with a Jewish background, have come to the country in incredible numbers, taking advantages of the citizenship guaranteed. Yet there is still intense controversy over the law. If one member of a couple is Jewish, then both receive citizenship. However, arguments erupted in 2011 when a half-Jewish gay couple immigrated. After months of debate, the Israeli government consented to give both of them the rights. Palestinians claim that the law endorses ethnic discrimination against non-Jews. Others claim that the Law of Return permits non-Jewish, anti-Israeli people to come to Israel and cause mischief, as evidenced by the 2007 uncovering of a neo-Nazi cell in Petah Tikva.
