So would I. Note my post 11, most have already. I'd have been amongst those. At the same time, I do recognize the desire to remain in ones country, even at personal risk, and the desire to maintain a Jewish presence where there has been one for a millennia.

The US probably wouldn't work. These aren't Somali refugees, after all. Interestingly after the fall of the Soviet Union some Americans, George Will was a great advocate, felt the US should open it's doors to Jews now able to flee the Soviet Union. Particularly since the US was providing aid to settle them in Israel. His main point was that those emigrating in general were educated, employed individuals, a great many with degrees. Many in the sciences. His idea largely fell on deaf ears.

“Jewish presence” is the problem - it's not a Jewish state, they just have a presence just like they just had a presence in Germany. As an American, I wouldn't stay in a foreign country that just had an American presence, if war broke out in that country. I would not be one of them the government of that country had vowed to protect. I would be an outsider and would get out.

Note I said “if” I couldn't get a visa to America, I'd go to Israel. I don't trust Obama to let Jews in, whether or not they are highly educated and a valuable contributing person to society. Any Islamic radical Muslim would be welcomed to this country by another Islamic radical Muslim, the president of the united states.
