>>And lastly, they must have been born in Israel; however, he or she may be able to relocate and still retain Jew status. Conversely, if you are born outside of their holy land of Israel, (or surrounding subordinate areas with historical ties to Judaism), then you'll only be qualified for an 'observing Jew,' which is pretty much akin to sitting in the backseat of a car and playing with a toddler's driving-wheel toy.<<

Since the Roman Emperor Titus had to fight a long war to crush the Jews in AD 70 and being well aware they had been jerks about the divinity of the Emperor for some time, also because his sort not only kicked ass and took names, they kicked ass and erased names, threw them all out of their Holy Land forever, sneering in Latin like Edward G Robinson; and until 1967 probably fewer than 1% of Jews could claim to be born in Israel.  Since I never heard of delegation approaching a medieval Pope with the line "So you're burning Jews, would it help you to know we're not really Jewish" or heard of an old Yiddish folksong along the lines of "O to be almost a Jew but not really", I doubt your hard rule was actually applied before 1948.
