My issue is your cheapening of Jewish Blood. Can you cite the one peaceful decade for Russian Jews in two centuries under the Romanov Czars? One hundred fifty years of inquisition is not a constant? The yidden in Yemen never had equality, at any point that they excelled they were immediately harassed into poverty by the locals. A wretched existence for centuries. How about the German States? Jewish town after Jewish homestead that completely disappeared from massacres and poverty. A three, four, or five hundred year struggle to survive often ending with zero survivors. Not even a graveyard as a monument.

The first millennia after the churban was a testimonial to the wits every Jew. To the East, there was constant revolution and palace intrigue, on top of vicious ideological ‘holy’ wars, to the extent that smaller Jewish communities took on gentle identities. Egypt ended a centuries long tolerance of yidden by killing them all. To the West, Jews were so persecuted – as was required by law – that it is hard to find historical references to them. This went on all over the globe, except where the Jews had self rule and the means to deter their neighbors. Borders were shifting on all continents. And Jews were always in the wrong place.

This went on until the Moslem conquest. Jews than had their own semi-states all around the Mediterranean. This created a buffer against constant oppression. But on the Arabian Peninsula, almost all the Jews were wiped out in the Muslim Conquest. The same pattern happened in Northern Europe. Mass murder spurred the sovereignty of the ghetto. But after two bloody centuries, there was no more Jewish England. And France never rebuilt what was. Germany which did grow and even thrive, went over a thousand years of murderous animosity, to less than a hundred years of security.

Poland was an inviting country that fits your definition. Lithuania etc as well as Ukraine could also, if we ignore all the writings from the sixteenth thru the eighteenth centuries, about the constant fear of exile, jail, extortion, bandits, and progroms.

This is without going into the ceaseless awfulness of being caught in middle of the Greek Empires. As well as the Roman atrocities.

Maybe they forgot to tell you what an awful place people make me this planet. See China. Yemen. Sudan. Belarus. Etc. If it makes you feel better, you can quote me as saying that China is really a secret Zionist country.
