   Personally, I find the insistence on Israel being a “Jewish state” a little questionable; I don’t feel Scotland must remain either “white” or “Christian”...

Many Jews feel that a Jewish state is the only place on earth where they can be reasonably safe. A feeling that’s not wholly unwarranted, given details like the WW2 “Endlösung” and current worldwide antisemitism.

What do you mean by “current worldwide antisemitism”; can you show than anti-Semitism is anymore prevalent that other forms of racism? After all, prisons in the USA are not full of Jews! Does racism against blacks not count?

What happened in WW2 does not justify the actions of nationalist (not Jews) in Israel today; just like SH invading Q8 does not justify a war 10+ years later!

Most Jews don’t want the West Bank. Most do not want Gaza. I read a while ago about a Rabbi who journeyed to Peru(!) to covert 90 Peruvian Indians on the condition that they lived in the occupied territories afterwards. Why do Peruvian Indians have more right to live there than a family who has done so for generations? See here: How 90 Peruvians became the latest Jewish settlers - Neri Livneh

Israeli nationalists (not Jews) break international law, oppresses a people, murder civilians and then acts like a petulant child when criticised. WW2 justifies none of that.

   Have you ever been persecuted for being Scottish?

Only by the Romans, Vikings, English and Margaret Thatcher ;-)
