"So this Korean-Irish, with no Jewish or semitic blood at all gets to migrate to Israel"
I've got news for you...though she may not have Semitic blood (whatever that means) her mother converted to Judaism so that would make Edwards Jewish according to halacha. Therefore she has as much right to make aliya & become Israeli as any other Jew in the world.
As for the oppression of Palestinians, that's another issue, but one on which I might have some agreement with you.
