If I was a Jew I think I'd rather live in the US or Europe than Israel if safety was my first priority. You might occasionally get some freak incident like this, but you get that in Israel too but you're also surrounded on all sides by Muslims lobbing rockets at you and wanting to wipe you off the map.
Jews/Israelis (in my mind understandably) concluded in the aftermath of World War 2 that they could not count on any nation-state to protect them (given 6 million of them were marched into gas chambers while even the traditionally Jewish-friendly Anglosphere refused to take many refugees), that only a Jewish state could be counted on as a place of refuge and last resort.
I fully support the existence of a nuclear armed Jewish state as the ultimate guarantor that there will never be another holocaust.

Yes that's correct but what right did they have to palestine? It was already inhabited when they came in...
apparently there is between 500,000 and 600,000 jews in france.
so how do you propose this special protection for these half a million holy, vulnerable little golden gummy bears?
everytime there is a terrorist attack then most of the french army and police is deployed protecting each and everyone of god's chosen in france? for how long after the terrorist attack? just permanently maybe? each of the half a million jews must have heavily armed escort of half a dozen french soldiers perhaps? sounds like a plan.
You should grow up.
If there is a terrorist on the loose who is a threat to the Jews, you put armed guarded in Jewish areas, outside Synagogues and shops associated with the Jews, that is the right thing to do.
It's not just the Jews, if there was say an EDL or anti-Muslim terrorist on the loose, I would say that Mosques and Halal supermarkets should be protected in the exact same way.
If there was a KKK terrorist who was yet to be apprehended say in the US, you would put armed guards outside "Black" Churches and in areas where there is a high proportion of Black people
The fact you think what I have said to you, is so radical because it was said in the context of protecting Jewish people, really does say a lot about you.
Neither. She appears to be the hostage-taker's girlfriend so, if you have designs on her you might need to bear that in mind. He will have friends outside his prison, probably armed.

I support the existence of Israel too but that doesn't mean I'd feel safer there than in New York or LA or London, and its existence is not a guarantor against another Holocaust, it's simply a guarantor that any second Holocaust would eventually become an apocalypse.

Haha...soz I misunderstood. I thought SHE was the hostage..... (facepalm)
Time for the USA to invade France, they're clearly not able to look after themselves and probably want help.
Honestly, I think that France has handled this badly and if the French police cannot do a good enough job, maybe another power's security forces should be brought in.
