Why Israel Exists

Via Europundits,

contrary to what the optimistic thought, that is, that the creation of Israel would help the Jews to find a normalized place in the world, the Jewish state was actually created in order to face contingencies like the current ones.

The normalization of Jewish life is not and has never been the Jews’ task, simply because it does not depend on them. If the non-Jewish majority of mankind had really decided to fight anti-Semitism and protect the Jews, a Jewish state wouldn’t be needed. It’s existence, however, is predicated on the fact that for the foreseeable future there will be those who want to exterminate them and that Jews stand a better chance of surviving if they have their own country, army etc.

The fair-minded of the world decided the only was to ensure Jewish existence in times of danger was through a state of Israel whereby the Jews could protect themselves. In the wars of 1948 and 1967, it did just that.

Can you say that without Israel Jews would be safe in the Middle East? No. Not by a long shot.

But at what expense, you say? Well, you tell me...
