They can certainly leave just as the Pieds Noirs did and certainly should.

The German Nazis sent German colonists to live in Occupied Eastern European territories. These colonists left those territories with the defeat of Nazi Germany. Once the Zionist state collapses the Zionist invader colonists should similarly leave.

Ethnic Ashkenazim are descendants of various Eastern European and Southern Russian populations that converted to some form of Judaic religion in the last two thousand years.

Zionist (Jewish Nazi) primordialist ideology is more extreme than Zionist primordialist Nazi ideology.

The real homeland of Jews consists of the transnational network of business and trade relationships that Jews have built among themselves since the crystallization of Rabbinic Judaism in the 10th century.

How Jewish National Consolidation Works

Before the nature of Jewish national consolidation can be addressed, a serious look at historical Jewish political economics is required as well as the broadening or rethinking of certain basic concepts in political science and economic theory.

The critical approach requires us to start thinking in terms of transnational politics instead of local, national, and international politics. A new framework should elucidate both transnational Jewish Zionist and transnational Arab-Islamic politics as well as other similar transnational political situations.

Assuming that national consolidation must be territorial and linguistic as has generally been the case with modern European nationalism is far too limiting. Historically Jews constituted a metapopulation (a term from statistical population biology) united by an international trade network and obedience to a sacred law that served as a sort of universal commercial code.

As faith declined in Europe, Jewish leaders looked for other means to maintain Jewish social economic networks of trust in order to maintain Jewish incomes. Commitment to building a Jewish state in Palestine was one of several proposed substitutes for adherence to sacred law.

From this standpoint, consolidating a virtual Jewish national consciousness is a Jewish Diaspora phenomenon that defines modern Jewish transnational politics.

The concept of virtual state consolidation explains

(1) why there was an Israel Lobby for approximately four decades before there was a State of Israel and

(2) why Israeli politics often seems so much less important than Jewish Diaspora politics,

(3) why Jewish political and economic behavior so often looks conspiratorial, and

(4) why Jewish aggression so often expresses itself economically, so often includes character assassination or defamation, and so often involves subversion or manipulation of third parties to do they dirty work of harming those that Jewish leaders target for destruction.

Or does your heart only bleed when there’s a Hebrew-speaker to be exiled?

Similarly, Ethiopia/Eritrea. Western Sahara. etc.

The Ottoman Empire most certainly had borders, and strove to extend them – largely by defeating rival “ethno religious states”. You might as well argue that the British Empire was much better than India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and that these countries should be reintegrated into that Empire.

“Any ethno-religious framework restricts justice and perpetuates further violence by treating rights as privileges and community as an exclusive club, and the creation of two such clubs side by side is not going to change that.”

In which case, why shouldn’t Bangladesh be re-integrated into Pakistan. Oh, granted, a million died when Pakistan broke free, but at least it wouldn’t be an ethno religious state. Ditto, Yugoslavia – what possible objection could the Bosniaks have to being brought back into that great socialist federation? And so on.

Your argument is an argument for Empire, but you don’t realise it.

Noam Sheizaf, you have a knack for beginning remarkable threads.
