As in the 1930s: only one place in the world is a safe haven for Jews

Even America is not seen as a long-term refuge it would seem.  Jews in Colonial America: Why They Were tolerated, Even Welcomed.

Why Help Build America When We Can Help Build the Land of the Jews?
Rebuilding Jerusalem – what more could capture their hearts? 

... "Now, in our time, when God has returned the Land of Israel to the Jews, the situation is even worse, for it seems, in the eyes of the gentiles, that in clinging to our Diaspora communities, we prefer foreign lands to His."

Thorny Past, Present of Jews in France     ..."The Vichy government beat even the Germans to the punch in enacting anti-Semitic laws. We see French police arresting Jews and turning them over to the Nazis, photos of a radiant bride with a large yellow star pinned on her white wedding gown, and a popular exhibit demonstrating how to distinguish Frenchmen from Jews.
