There is too much hate between Jews & Muslims for Jews to have a peaceful existence without controlling their own destiny.

I agree with the sentence but think you should have stopped with the word "without". I just don't see the scenario where the neighbors EVER accept Israel given their opposition from day 1 and up to today. So their choice is endless warfare if they keep going down the current road.

Well said. Speaking of ethnic states, i give you the following to read. I particularly like this following paragraph:

"Some are responding with a Serbian tradition: black humor. In Belgrade, people say that in the 1990's, the nationalist slogan was Serbia do Tokija, or Serbia to Tokyo. These days, they say, it is more accurate to say Serbia kao Nokia, or Serbia like Nokia. Just like the Finnish cellphones, Serbia comes in a newer and smaller model every year. "
