It’s a little too simplistic to say that Europe’s Jews should just move to Israel and be done with it. For one thing, Israel has finite space and resources and extreme politics of its own. More important, Jews can’t abandon Europe. Its cosmopolitanism is part of who Jews are, and Jews contribute to its identity.
Europe’s Jews are proudly part of the fabric of Western plurality and liberalism. Not only should they resist being political tools for the extreme right, they should also be against any agenda that seeks to turn back the clock on multiculturalism, and oppose anyone who uses violence as a means to marginalize minority groups.
Strangely, the Jewish state favors its majority population. Why should not gentile states have the same privilege of favoring the majority over minorities?
Torah texts are strangely silent about the beauties of multiculturalism.
It seems like people such as Ari Paul want to reserve the beauties of cohesion and unity and nationalism for Jews but deny these gifts to gentiles.
