Israel is more dangerous than North Korea - why does a pint-size country need 400+ nuclear weapons to "defend" itself? North Korea has about five.
Having 400 nuclear weapons, if that is correct, means nothing, unless the country has "the stomach" to use them. However, if they are ever used, I believe the reason historians might explain, afterwards, is that the Jews just got tired of being "expendable" by just about everyone else. In effect, a non-Jew should take some "cause and effect" responsibility for the two millenia of "tacit approval" regarding anti-Semitism. Perhaps, monotheism in its other forms should take some responsibility. Mind you, the only two countries that had a population of Jews that "were assimilated" was China and India, both non-monotheistic countries. And, that was because neither country had the faintest reason to be anti-Semitic to its Jewish population.
But, I think it is hilarious that the current administration might be pulling away from Israel. One might have to be Jewish to understand the irony (or the ingratitude the irony represents).
