If anyone has such a plan, I\u2019d like to see it. Maybe someone, somewhere, has an idea that is as good as, or even better than, Netanyahu\u2019s. But what we\u2019ve seen up to now is a chorus of rejections of Netanyahu\u2019s sensible suggestion and very few ideas that are both sensible and practical.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I have a better plan. Jews in Europe should form chapters of <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=63983\">Jews for Consistency<\/a> and seek for non-Jews the benefits of group unity that Jews seek for themselves. That would mean supporting the nations of Europe protecting their borders and their internal integrity, cohesion and trust. Jews should support the same sort of hearty nationalism for others that they want for themselves. Jews should identify with and support their host countries developing their own distinctive national destinies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shmuel Rosner, Jewish Journal Political Editor, writes: &#8220;Could anyone come up with a plan that will make Europe safer for Jews without them having to lower their profile, without them having to forgo Judaism to keep themselves safe, without them &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=64172\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9993,29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-europe","category-jews"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 -
