Look at last 100 years of Middle Eastern history. Do you see how Arabs are treating each other? They kill each based on religion, sect, tribe, political party, drinking habits … If no zionists came to EY, Jews of old yishuv – and Jews in sepahardi countries – would have ended up under Nasser, Yasser, Saddam, Aytollah and ISIS. And those Ashkenazi Charedim (majority) who came after the zionists would have ended up being killed by Nazis and Commies or assimilated in goldene medinah.
