Reply #145: The issue of where Jews are safer is beside the point, I think...

[Darranar]

the advantage of Israel is that Jews couldn't be that much less safe there than they are now, unless the state is destroyed, while in, say, the US, if the Christian Right continues gaining power that may not be so.

And if conditions in the US do become overly harsh for Jews, which I admit is unlikely, Israel will always remain an option.

Whether the benefits outweigh the costs is something about which I am far from certain, however.
