HaLeiVi: Having major wars every 10 years or so, and terrorism throughout, isn’t a worthy tradeoff to populate the land. We needn’t put every 18 year old in harm’s way with so many deaths from wars and terrorism from ’48 until today. We didn’t live under this *constant* threat in Syria before 1900 (about the time when some Jews started demanding a state in Palestine), as we do in Israel now. (Since you brought up “trends”, while there were always anti-semitic outbreaks before, in the State the trend is a constant state of war.)
