If I was a Jew, I would leave immediately for the US and if couldn’t get a visa to do that, would go to Israel, as that document tells them what their status is no matter if it was a legitimate document or not. During the Hitler years, that document could be signed by anyone, but that was Hitler’s view and he killed them. Thinking it won’t happen to you, is gambling your life and that of your family.

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.
