It is excusable for most Americans to hope that the scourge of Jihaddist jurisprudence shall not touch them. In the end, America can concievably expel the Jihadi culture and personnel back to their origin.
It is inexcusable for the Jewish Israeli left wing to hope that the scourge of Jihadist jurisprudence, the application of the Jihadi principles, shall be applied solely to Jews who reside in Judea and Samaria, yet they do. Such is the basic tenet of Humanist, Pluralist Judeo-christian civilization. Innocent till proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The only question is, will the Jews of Israel realize their predicament before they are cut down, or only after the up-and-coming Shoah. European Jewry obviously did not, and there is no indication that two generations later the Jews have become any smarter.
