American Zionist Leader Says There Is No Future for Jews in Europe

“You can’t live with a constant threat of being physically attacked and verbally abused and you can’t live with the necessity of having soldiers and security guards guarding every Jewish institution,” Morton Klein, head of the Zionist Organisation of America, says. He now believes that there is no future for Jews in Europe.

I refuse to think that Klein is right. Europe has a serious problem with anti-Semitism, but moving to Israel should still be considered an option and not a necessity. Besides, there is also a trend amongst young Israelis that involves moving to Europe. I realise that I might be wildly optimistic, but in my vision of the future, Jews in both Israel and Europe will feel free to move about without fear of terrorism and racism.
