Bunny - I was born in Austria (when there saw myself as an Austrian, got educated in that culture), but 300 years ago most of my ancestors came from Slavic lands to the North-east of Austria, some from Finland, even the Caucasus, some were remnants of the local 'original' inhabitants of central Europe, they were what we now term 'Celts' - I now live in Australia, my children are Australian, one is English - I cannot see any of them (including the one who married an Englishman) ever seeing themselves as anything else but Australian. I am sure this 'fate' applies to a lot of migrating humanity.
The story of the Jewish people is a complex one, a sad one of constant migration, of settling in a country, becoming part of it and of having to move on by persecution. But this is not the place to discuss this, as it is too large a subject. The biblical references are what they are and have formed the basis for many other religions' 'claim' to right in law, belief, reaison d-etre for the existence of their faith, but fact is that for the last 2000 years many Jews left their homeland, some stayed, even becoming Muslim and it would be interesting to know how many practicing Jews were in Israel when the thought of a Jewish homeland germinated in the mind of a handsome Viennese Jew of Hungarian birth, Theodor Herzl, at the turn of the 19th century (1896 he wrote his book on a 'Jewish State'). He died young and didn't live to see the creation of the State of Israel.
Now for Hakim el Karoui:
The man who started this thread hasn't done his homework on Hakim el Karoui, who is a prolific writer, initially an investment banker for the Rothschild bank, where he met Macron and they became friends, but he is principally a writer and a person who tries to find solutions to a big problem, namely extremist muslims.
