And if they experience anti-Semitism, it's seen as natural because the whole world is anti-Semitic, but also in some ways beneficial to the idea that only Israel is a home for the Jews.
I mean, the basis of Zionism is the idea that Jews aren't really safe anywhere else.
Otherwise, you know, sure, people talk about the Bible, but this thing that spurred Zionism to begin with was anti-Semitism.
First in Russia, the pogroms, and also the Dreyfus trial in France, and then later on the Holocaust.
Those were the things that made Jews actually go to Israel.
Your friends are very representative.
Jews in Europe didn't want to go to Israel.
Israel was a hellhole at the time.
But the worse anti-Semitism got, the more reason you had to go there.
And then at some point, people stopped coming to Israel.
The last major...
Major immigration to Israel was when the Soviet Union opened up because those people were not doing well.
But now Jews tend to be in places where they're comfortable.
So to get them to come to Israel as well, encouraging anti-Semitism could actually be beneficial.
Now, that's not to say they're intentionally encouraging anti-Semitism for that reason, but there are two benefits to Israel for anti-Semitism.
You know, you can do whatever you want to the rest of the world if you think that everyone's anti-Semitic, and you're also encouraging Jews to come immigrate to Israel.
So anti-Semitism serves an instrumental purpose for the state of Israel.
That's a fact, right?
Absolutely.
I couldn't agree more.
