Anonymous writes: Devout Jews to this day know that learning the local language and getting a secular education ends in their destruction. Mixing, either racially or ethnically, is death. Any scholarly source ( including Jewish ones) make no secret of deliberate physical and social self-segregation as a primary Jewish tool for survival. Why aren’t Jews permitted under Jewish law to drink from a bottle opened by a gentile? The Sages are quite clear: to reduce or eliminate fraternizing. Why are Jews not permitted to drive a car on the Sabbath? They will move far away and live among the Gentiles all week, become corrupted and assimilated and only join fellow Jews on the sabbath.
I don’t begrudge them their national myths, however. They serve to keep Jews on their toes, eternally fearful of Gentiles, and therefore much less likely to mix, mingle, assimilate, and be swallowed up in the gentile lumpenmass.
God bless ‘em, let them keep their border walls high, their border patrolmen armed with machine guns and the barbarians outside the gates. Jews in Israel should be an example for all of us in our countries.
