    Is that true?

If you have a proper conversion you can actually claim right of return to Israel and receive citizenship which is pretty funny.

    I believe conversion at least Orthodox can take up to 3 years and is a difficult task with lots of self study. It's seen as largely pointless as you don't need to be a Jew to be "saved" infact gentiles only have a few basic laws to follow compared to Jews who have 613 commandments. There's no concept of hell in Judaism.
    Pretty much spot on except one thing: it can take longer than 3 years for an Orthodox conversion, and it usual does. 4-5 is probably normal.

    Although some ultra-orthodox are still maintaining a ban on conversions.
    Wrong.

    The only groups that maintained a ban on conversion were Karaites (a small sect of literalists) and Syrian Jews for some reason. However, many Syrians now accept converts. Even the most ultra-Orthodox Jews accept converts. In at least one case, a convert was married to the leader of a Hassidic sect.

    Prejudice exists in individuals but officially when you convert to Judaism you also join the Jewish people.

    Why aren’t you satisfied with just being Hungarian? Why would you want to identify with groups that have little or nothing to do with you like Scythians or Jews?

    She is obviously joking. She is a Hungarian nationalist.

    Was she joking about Hungarians being descendants of Scythians?

    Why is she interested in Zoroastrianism?

    Even though the Iranic element in Hungarians is minimal she still associates with Iranic Scythians.

    If I'm not mistaken, the reason being that they don't have a Jewish mother?
