Thanks for a great article! As I pointed out in my posting on the same subject, many Irish-Americans celebrate St. Patrick’s Day every year and no one accuses them of dual loyalty. Although the Jewish population grew and changed in the last 2,000 years, Jews still are what they were called in the Bible: “The People of Israel.” Jews emerged from the land of Israel. Some Jews have always lived there. They are united around core religious beliefs, but the core of them came from one land-Israel.
