> [@Alessan](#): > > Enough Jews felt a connection to Israel in the first half of the 20th Century to come here and found a country. What more proof does one need? Zionism was not a popular idea in the first part of the 20th century (pre WWI). There were a few who promoted it, but they were British, not American, and had little success in garnering support for their cause in this country. It finally caught on as a popular thing to support, but the large majority of Jews who migrated to the new Israel were Russian, and for good reason. The nirvana of the shtetls of Siberia that the OP refers to were basically sporting grounds for Russians, who regularly conducted pogroms and purges there, so it’s no wonder that when the opportunity came to get out of Dodgesky, they took it, not so much because of the idea of Zionism, but because nearly anyplace would have had to have been better for them. The idea of a Jewish homeland was not the result of the actions of Nazi Germany, but rather the ultimate outcome of the partitioning ideas for the Ottoman Empire prior to WWI. Nearly everyone involved thought it would be a good idea, with even the Arab countries paying it at least lip service. The glaring flaw in the plan was that most of the people involved in the partitioning notion thought it would be a grand idea if European christians governed Muslim and Jewish states. That idea has led, in large part, to the mess we are in today in the Middle East. I would suggest that the OP read the book “A Peace to End All Peace” (among others) before ignorantly yammering on about events about which he is clueless. ---

The shtels in Tsarist Russia weren’t in Siberia, they were in what was called “the pale of settlement”, which was in European Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, and Lithuania. And the total immigration in the First Aliyah was about 30,000, and the Second Aliyah was about 40,000., so that’s really not small numbers. ---

Israel doesn’t depend on US aid, although it does save lives. But it’s not like Israel is on life support. For it’s size, Israel is almost definetly the strongest country in the world. And with it’s enemies being the many Arab nations, who may be ten times bigger but work together about as well as cats and dogs do, I doubt Israel will lose a war. Suffer loses due to shitty commanders? Sure. But not lose. You seriously think that Israel doesn’t rely on foreign (read American) aid? The US sends Israel about 20% of its military budget but its not the money they receive these days that really makes the difference, its the technology and the military advantage of the hundreds of billions of dollars (in present day terms) that Israel has received over the decades.

The subset of Americans historically categorized as “rednecks” were largely the descendants of Scottish immigrants. Saying that rednecks come from Scotland is not at all the same thing as saying that Scots are rednecks, any more than saying that the Puritans came from England is the same as saying the English were Puritans.

But the idea that the Jews have any hereditary claim, or even connection, to their ancestral homeland is bullshit. My ancestors came from Switzerland, but it’s just one more foreign country to me.

Seriously WTF does arab military incompetence have to do with this argument or any argument. Are we still operating under a spoils of war system? It would certainly help their bargaining position if they posed a more serious threat. As it is, Israel doesn’t have to negotiate under terms they find unfavourable because they know they have the military advantage. As an alternative, the Arab nations could promise dramatically improved relations and trade, offering Israel a chance to significantly profit, but they can’t even bring themselves to do that, since the empty rhetoric about destroying Israel (someday) is useful. ---
