Historically, wherever we Jews were in the minority, someone has tried to wipe us out. The Zoroastrian Persians (the book of Esther), the pagan and later the Christian Romans, Muslims, European Christians, including the crusaders, etc., have either treated us as second class citizens, expelled us, or tried to exterminate us.
What too many of my fellow Jews do not understand is that while America has guaranteed us the freedom of religion, the ultimate guarantee of the First Amendment, is the Second Amendment.
Well said.
