So your statement lacks historical knowledge or credibility.

Read about the S. S. St. Louis.

And then ask why a free People should leave simply because they are surrounded by a few anti-semitic assholes. It is the vicious racists who Should be obliged to leave.

And did you know that after WWII, several million Jewish refugees who lost everything because their former countries told them due damage they could not prove property they owned for generations was theirs. Did you know that the US only allowed a very limited few Jewish refugees into the US due to its own anti-semitic policies.

And if you go back to the St. Louis, no country would allow them to land.

Your statemnts lack historical knowledge or credibility. They also appear to show that you believe that if one group is disliked they should not have the freedom to stay in their homes.
