Many of them havd even converted. They disdained this "Jewish Tribalism" that you claim to despise as well. Much to their dismay, the Garmans saw them just as much a parasitic Jew as the ones in the Shtetel with payis and shtreimel. You and Kovel and that rat Finkelstein are "learned academics" but you know NOTHING about history and human nature. If we Jews depended on people like you we would all be up in smoke, just like my mothers extended family did in Auschwitz. Unlike you, I chose to move to Israel, joined the army in the paratroops and served 7 years in military/security related work. I do not live in an Ivory tower where one thinks that if we just ask nicely and do whatever the Arab/Muslim world wants us to do, there will be peace and harmony in the Middle East and in the World. What is really galling however, is that you and Kovel and the likes walk hand in hand with those who would butcher us. In fact, often you lead these people in their vilification of Jews/Israelis. That is the behaviour of either a deluded individual with no sense of the real world or a Kapo. You deserve nothing but contempt.
