How strange...an idea that isn't in any way new or original gets hyped by (obviously) a bunch of media people who don't understand Jewish people very well. There's nothing like creating an inflammatory situation where one didn't exist the day before yesterday.

Now we get to watch the "usual crew" crawl out from under their rocks here on C-D...

So? Big whoop, it's a non-issue. You can leave your estate to anyone you please, and that's all this is doing. Descendents are not OWED an inheritance, it doesn't belong to them until it's given to them and these grandparents have every right to decide who gets it because it's theirs to do with as they wish. The state should absolutely not interfere, and it's good to see they did not.
