Syag: I guess I didn’t/still don’t understand your first post. You said you were speechless so I assumed I said something controversial. Also, I still don’t see the issue with what spreadthetruth is saying. The anti-Semitic left is a loud and prominent minority in the US. Meanwhile, polls show that almost all “Palestinians” support terrorism against Jews. I don’t think anyone is denying that Antisemitism exists in America; there’s just a split on whether or not we’re willing to accept the cold, hard reality that it’s worse in Israel.
Let me put it like this: A frum Jew needs a place to live and he asks two friends “I’m mainly concerned about my kids’ safety. Which area has lower violent crime, Brooklyn NY or rural Iowa?” Friend A says, “rural Iowa.” Friend B says, “your kids are less likely to assimilate in Brooklyn, and who knows, maybe an evil dictator will take over Iowa.”
Friend B might be steering him in the right direction, but it’s not the answer to that specific question. I don’t deny that Israel is the future, and that most of the argument in favor are true; I’m not on the far anti-Zionist right. However, I’m not going to pretend that it’s safer than the US, because it’s just not. The pro-aliyah faction is using deceit by playing up a warzone as a “safe haven.”
