I think what we should learn from Mazi Pilip is that the Chief Rabbinate of Israel should declare the Palestinians presumptively Jewish so that thirty years from now Palestinian American congressional candidates can run on batshit anti-immigrant platforms like their Zionist counterparts can today.

(I say “presumptively Jewish” to as an observation that most Palestinians have never personally converted to any religion and as such should not be considered converts from Judaism. Such converts would, of course, be their very distant ancestors, but the Israeli Supreme Court has previously held that ancestral—well, parental—conversion should not be held against anyone else attempting to make Aliyah.)
