Oct 11, 2023 at 6:49 comment added Wag the mainstream media dog The culture and national history may suggest to Jews that they are better together, but in terms of real danger in the last 50 years Israel has been probably the most dangerous place for Jews. I would like however to stress again that most of Israelis are not immigrants anymore - but born in Israel. Also, Political Zionism is not just about safe heaven - it is about a nation-state, on European model, as codified by the UN charter.

Oct 11, 2023 at 4:52 comment added Wag the mainstream media dog The message about safe heaven would make sense half a century ago, and it is not impossible that some of the Palestinian extremists and their backers are still stuck in post-ww2 mentality. The situation has however changed: Israel has been a dangerous place for decades, but many Jews still prefer to go there. What is more important - there are several generations born and raised in Israel, who regard Israel as their only country.
