    Jews are cool and i like them

    Israel sucks and it’s an awful place to send Jews because they get rockets shot at them all the time.

    I want them to have a safe homeland where they are always welcome right here in my neighborhood. If it were up to me I would see to it every vacant house in my town went to Jewish families for free to help them escape from literally the worst place that could have ever been assigned to them (well, slightly less awful than Siberia or the Australian outback)

    (…and places where no one can survive at all such as Antarctica notwithstanding)

    The point is, I am entirely certain that every last one of them would be safer and more prosperous here in New England where there is relatively little skinhead population.

    They might be even safer than that in Canada, arguably, but I’m not from Canada so I have no business inviting them to some other sovereign territory, which would be a dick move of tragic proportions (and indeed turned out to be).

      What about extremely arid places, or latitudes that get very little sunlight for part of the year and too much sunlight the rest of the year? Or cities with extreme income inequality and no social safety net? You should make a list of every place on the planet and organize it into two columns; one for places that are preferable to Israel, one for places that are worse than Israel.

        ah yes, the “is this place better or worse than living in the midst of people who absolutely fucking hate me and want to kill me and my entire family” index.
