There are two groups of Jews. Those who live in Israel and those who do not. The abandonment will be of those who live in Israel by those who do not. The Jews who live in Israel will largely move to other places.

The two situations are not remotely comparable, Carl. The French in France had the nation-state and the army and the French in Algeria relied on them. The Israelis in Israel have the nation-state and the army, and they do not rely on diaspora Jews for anything. They rely only on the goodwill of the US. But they will not let themselves be destroyed for the sake of that goodwill, nor will the US ask it.

The French did not have the power to subjegate or ethnically cleanse all of Algeria. The Israelis, make no mistake, do have this power (the West Bank is a very small place). It is their own morality that has kept them from doing so, but there are limits to their restraint.
