That doesn't follow from what I've written at all, we were discussing Israel, not Jews. Jews are individuals, Israel is a country. They are not the same thing. There are gazillions of Jews living happy successful lives all over the world that are getting along fine in the societies where they live, and have very little to do with Israel. Why should the vote of the majority to exterminate the minority be more valid for countries than for individuals? If you believe that Israel will never be able to make its neighbors accept it, then why do you support Israel's existence? I have not yet given up all hope that the Arabs will someday abandon their "dream palace", as Fouad Ajami calls it, and join the modern world. But pretending that they have already done so will not make it so - and is very dangerous.
