But are predictions of the future correct?\n\nI can’t agree with those who say \"It can\'t happen here\". Murderous anti-Semitism can happen anywhere. The influx of Muslims to the US and their probable alliance with the extreme left doesn\'t bode well for the future of American Jews, especially given the American propensity to multiculturalism and the possible election of an extreme leftist president.\n\nAt present, things appear to be much worse in Israel. They appear in more danger of a holocaust than American Jews, not to mention the ongoing murders and a government that seems most interested in giving away the land. This is the weakness of the secularists. For those who know that what happens depends on Hashem, we must daven for both American Jews and for Israel.");

Jews all over the world are in grave danger right now, in Israel as well, where over a thousand Jews have ALREADY been killed.  Yes, we all belong in Israel, but we need to pray and come together for the troubled times ahead, not wish Holocausts upon each other.  ");

AddReply(309644,"Is Shifra cognitively impaired?","sk","USA","05/23/08","Or is she just a typical Israeli lemming?\n\nLet\'s see.  First, American Jews are no more hated than American Catholics:\n\nhttp://my.opera.com/skZion/blog/2008/03/05/jews-are-not-hated-in-america\n\nSecond, Jews are extremely hated in Israel by those with guns and knives.  I refer both to the Muslims and the Tel Aviv elite, who have shown themselves willing to sacrifice many, many lives for their benefit.  You see, Shifra can\'t come up with good, practical reasons for Aliyah, so she scare mongers. The problem is that the scary realities wholly favor the US, not Israel.\n\nThird, it is ludicrous to equate Weimar Germany (a democracy for a few years), situated in an area with centuries of German cultural anti-Semitism, with the oldest continuously functioning democratic republic in the world, one that has NEVER had a pogrom (which Israeli Jews could claim THAT).\n\nShifra, stop being a lemming.");

America has a long history of unbridled creativity in turning national crisis into skyrocketing national growth. \nAnd for all the national tragedy and suffering from the Civil War through the Depression, America has NEVER scapegoated her Jews.\nBetter the Jews of Israel should figure out how to get to a real, responsive constituent democracy from the thinly veiled dictatorship from which she has suffered for 60 years, rather than try to scare Americans into aliyah by paranoid imaginings.\n");

It is sorrounded by Islamist nations with nuclear weapons, such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Pakistan.\nIt is hated by the world over. It is already 50% oon-Jewish. The gov\'t can\'t stop rockets that will only have farther reach.\nAnd can you point me to the Weimar Germany\'s constitution? Was it a democracy then? As much as the leftists and neocons try to undo the constitution, it is still a guarantor of rights.\n\nAs for attacks on Jews, most of them are do to illegal and legal immigrants whom Jews should do everything they can to stop from entering. In fact, there are more such attacks in Israel.\n\nI fear for Israeli Jews.");
