Arabs are very tribalist. Jews are tribal to some extent but freely participate in Western liberal societies and have no objections to it. Can you say the same about the Mohammedans? The Jewish intermarriage rate in America is 50%. How tribal is that? Jewish leaders rightly worry about this.
There are 5 million Jews in Israel surrounded by 200 million Muslims. Which tribe do you think has the advantage? Saudi Arabians and the Paleostinians in Gaza have some of the world's highest birthrates.
Israel is only able to fend of the Arabs with the nukes in their arsenal and the Muslims darn well know it

Thank you for your comments.
I think it's relatively well known how important to Arabs the idea of marrying within the Arab tribe really is. I'm also aware of Jewish concerns regarding the intermarriage rate. But, nukes aside, the question doesn't go away.
If I teach my kids that Tribalism is evil, am I committing an Anti-Semitic act?
