We once quoted mainstream, technically-Jewish journalist Jeffrey Goldberg asking (in the year 5775\2015), Is It Time for the Jews to Leave Europe?
To which we appended the more relevant question in the title: “How Long Until the Following Question Is Asked About AMERICA?”
“America” being the local Titanic deck Mr. Out-of-touch Goldberg finds himself…
Of course, that question already is being asked.
Anyway, I found a response to the original article by another ostrichian amnesiac in The New Republic.
And the response boils down to… you’ll never guess: ‘Why do you think America is any better?’
So, yes indeed. Thank you very much for making my point, lady!
She makes a good rhetorical stab:
To the question “Can one trust Europe?,” American Jews will instinctively say “no.” Most of Europe’s Jews will say “yes,” for non-Jewish Europeans are our neighbors, colleagues, friends, partners and even family members. American Jews might make exceptions for France and Britain, noting their military courage, counter-terrorism capabilities, and the high social status of their Jewish populations. Yet these countries are the two most affected by anti-Semitism, as well as being the source of the terrorists who have answered the siren song of ISIS. Can one have one’s cake and eat it too?
