Jews Cannot Maintain a State of Their Own


My conclusion, as formulated in the previous post is that the Jews are not able to maintain a state of their own over a long period of time. The attempt to create a Jewish state is destined to fail.

I will summarize the reasons in a schematic way:



 
The long, difficult history of the Jews in exile uprooted, in fact, the ability of the Jews to manage their own state and continue to be a Jewish community. Jewish communities went through such a deep process of adjustment to life in the Diaspora, as a minority under a foreign rule, that they lost their ability to live differently.
The Jewish community has been optimized to life, as a minority that must fight for its existence and its rights. It cannot live in any other way.

The Jewish community carries deep in its heritage the resistance to rules and law and as such it is corrosive to its own government and to the independent existence of the Jewish state. It is a very bitter irony of history.

Solution could have been found by transferring  regime in Israel to the Palestinians, with the Jewish community going back to life as a minority under foreign rule. Such a solution, of course, would not be acceptable by the Jews. Even the Palestinians, if they see the reality as it is, would not agree to such an arrangement.
