"I STILL don't see how putting us all in one place has made us any "safer.""1

That's because you are blind.

As bad as things may look today they would be a lot worse without the Jewish State.

Anyone who believes that Islamicist antisemitism would not exist without israel they are either ignorant or blind.

Islamicism is the child of among other things western fascism and antisemitism is an article of faith in this evil ideology.

Besides, no matter with either leftist Jews or ultra religious Jews think, without Israel Western antisemitism would never have subsided as it did after 1948. The fact that nations have to deal with a Jewish country has shaped the post world war 2 view of Jews for over half a century. Prior to that the Jews were just like the Gypses, a contemptible people without a country.
