Jewishness in the eyes of fundamentalist Jews. "Blood only" sounds a bit
unpleasant, I must admit; "birth only" would have been better.
But I have been corrected already. I wasn't aware of the phenomenon "giyyur".
Or rather, after Yitzik explained it to me, I vaguely remember to have heard
once about a procedure which allows non-Jews to became fully recognized Jews;
what I remember was that it is a very heavy and difficult procedure and that a
lot of knowledge is required. And I was under the (wrong) assumption, that the
most ultra-orthodox Jews won't recognize you anyway.
