I think those Asian IDF girls are from India, where a tribe in
Mizoram and Manipur was given Jewish status and the right to return
to Israel:
Lost tribe of Jews found in India:
Mr. Singson is a community leader of the Bnei Menashe (children of
Menasseh) tribe, which was recognized recently as one of the 10
lost tribes of Israel.
He and about 200 other members of his tribe also attend a Hebrew
school run by Shavei Israel, a Jerusalem-based organization that
has been trying to locate descendants of lost Jewish tribes around
the world and bring them to Israel.
When Shlomo Amar, the Sephardic chief rabbi, announced recently in
Jerusalem that he accepted the Bnei Menashe as one of the 10 "lost
tribes" of Israel, Mr. Singson began to believe that God had
finally smiled on him.
The tailor, who hopes to settle soon in Israel with his wife and
three children, has been in a buoyant mood since learning of the
chief rabbi's recognition of the Bnei Menashe of India's Mizoram
and Manipur states as exiles from Israel millennia ago.
"When I read it in the local newspapers I thought it was a hoax,
but after phone calls from Israel confirmed it, it turned out to be
the happiest news of my life. ... We shall win the right to
'aliyah' [return to Israel] very soon," Mr. Singson said.
