Do you think that there should be one place in the world where only jews get to decide who kills the jews? Currently Israel is the only piece of dirt where the jews can fight for their existence. Considering how the world Universally loves to kill jews everytime they have a social discord, where can they be ruled by themselves for themselves? Your ideal is fine except that since the romans busted the place up, visitors from europe, turkey, iraq, arabia like to swing through and kill a few jews for god and money every decade or so. I think of Israel as a place I know will be a safe haven where the threat is external, where I can get an uzi and defend myself from organized groups trying to kill us off. Even the Soviets which initially welcomed us with open arms turned quickly back to its regularly scheduled progrom. I have worked along side many a man who is convinced America would be better off if each and everyone of "us" were killed immediately. Would I consider you anti-jewish because you are anti Israel? Not nescessarily. Would I trust myself to your ideas? No fucking way, :0
