#5 Shmuley Boteach has a point, the same one made by Machiavelli:

A short column like this doesn’t allow me to engage in the reasons for 2000 years of antisemitism. And even if it did, we might never figure it out. But it does allow me to dwell on a question that is nearly as important. Whatever the reason for antisemitism, why are we Jews so bad at fighting it?

The answer is simple. Jews prefer to be loved rather than feared. No, that doesn’t go far enough. They are desperate to be loved. And all desperation betrays weakness and is easily detected by our enemies.

#6 a) not really anywhere to go except maybe the US
b) they are currently out breeding the other Israelis and Israel will be a ultra-religious nation in 50-70 years. If they aren't willing to fight, they will be overrun.

Israel is gonna have some interesting times in the future.

#7 a) We have enough freeloaders here and don't to import more. Maybe they can have the coyotes bring them across the border - that would be a sight!

#8 "Desperate to be loved" sounds like Republican politicians who will betray their voters and their country at the drop of a hat for some phoney love from the media.
