Israel Got 3,633 New Immigrants From North America In 2017

ed note–it is a little-discussed but highly relevant item that must be understood these days whenever some Western politician is singing Israel’s praises and vowing to always maintain their country’s support for the Jewish state–It is not as much representative of any positive feelings that said leader has for the Jews as a group, but rather the dread and loathing that they personally entertain for them. And as much as it is axiomatic for those who follow closely any and all news surrounding the entire sordid affair of the Jewish state’s creation to frame their understanding of seminal events such as Balfour and its maintenance up to the present time within the context that it took place solely on the basis of bribery and/or blackmail of the politicos of the West, at the same time, it is equally true that much/most of the energy that has driven this project has come from Western Gentile societies finally having had enough of this menace to their social, political, and cultural well-being and who therefore wanted/want these people OUT.

Likewise today, when people such as Trump, May, Macron, Merkel, Putin, et al sing the praises of Israel and vow to commit whatever political resources are available to them towards the protection and maintenance of the entire ‘Jewish state’ program, they do so with the quiet understanding that Israel’s continued existence will act as a magnet in attracting the worst elements of those unassimilated and unassimilable Jews who represent disruptors of the peace and common good in their respective Gentile societies and NOT necessarily because they ‘love the Jews’.
