So why are jews still in gentile lands?

Excuse me? Jews have been part of the fabric and history of America for a long time now. Why should they have to go anywhere? This is THEIR country too. They are just as American as I am!

You tell them Kosher Ninja Chick!

I'm not sure all Jews living today could comfortably fit in the State of Israel, it's a pretty tiny place. Also, I don't know about you, but I want to live in a place where I don't have to worry about being blown up simply for boarding a bus to go to work.

You ask why Jews are in "gentile" lands? Well, we are citizens of these nations, we own land here. Yes, we finally have a safe place to call our ancestral home, but that doesn't mean we all have to live there. Yes, the State of Israel exists, but so does China, yet more and more Chinese live abroad. I notice there are many Catholics outside of Rome and Anglicans outside of England. So.. what's your point, exactly?

Should my Irish American neighbords go to Dublin, according to you...or should the Jews just be targeted? After all, there is now an Irish homeland, too. The diaspora is not over because ignorant fools say it is. It will end when HaMoshiach comes, and until then, Jews can live wherever they damn well please. If it irritates you so much, I'm told there is always room for people like you to live in Saudi Arabia.

Peace

I'm Jewish and I live in the diaspora because that is where I was born and raised and it's where I work and raise my own children.

I'm here because I have every right to be here and if that bothers you then too bad because you don't get a say in where I or any other Jew chooses to live.

However if you find Jews hard to tolerate I hear that there aren't too many of us in Saudi Arabia and the weather is nice and sunny there too or so I believe.

Because we are living breathing humans who deserve respect.

Your entire question is twisted. It's got a view of homeland & of Jews that requires us to go "jump" when something says "how high."

Israel was created as a place Jews COULD go & from where Jews could defend themselves. That's it. That's what homeland means.

I'd be more respectful, but I really don't think you mean this question respectfully.

Great point Maria

He's not getting what has been a problem for people to get for centuries. Jews are loyal citizens of the countries they live in.

Humans are transient. Why aren't all Mexicans in Mexico? Why aren't all Chinese people in China? and million of Jews have moved to Israel from various places around the world. Don't Generalize.

The problem with your argument is that you make the assumption that all Jews are Israelis as well.

Therefor your point is moot because that's simply not true. There are US Jews, South American Jews, Asian Jews, and Jews that are not Israelis, live all over the planet.

Based on your " logic " all Catholics then should move to the Vatican City, which is actually a country, in Italy.

Nice try...but very uneducated.

First and foremost we remain here to irritate you.

According to Scripture the diaspora is not over until Moshiach comes. For it is only he take can restore All Israeli land, from the Euphrates to the Nile, so there is room enough for all of us.

Genesis 15:

18. On that day, the Lord formed a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt until the great river, the Euphrates river.

Er, there are 22 Muslim 'homelands', but we have millions of Muslims in Europe. You have a problem with that also, do you?

According to your 'logic', no Catholics should live outside Italy....

Or is it ONLY *Jews* you wish to see confined to one place of the planet...?

Israel = 0.01% of the Middle East. She's pretty crammed full, actually. She's also the only democracy in the whole region.

Personally, I think I'll stay right HERE - just to irritate YOU.

You can't have it both ways, Jews out of Israel because you think it belongs to the Arabs, or Jews living outside the land because you think they should be in Israel by being sarcastic.

So pick which one you think should happen and stick with it. :)
