But , as a Jew , I understand her unspoken fear and “longing”.

Acropolis50, I ask for your tolerance; it seems I was perfectly clueless regarding this relevant factor.

I am fully aware of the historical horrors you mention, and understand the desire for a "last ditch" safe refuge.

I would note, respectfully, that the click bait of various media does not accurately reflect the thoughts of the reasonable majority who are your neighbours across the street. Engage with them and you may be pleasantly surprised. Click bait is about inflaming people (on all sides!) to generate money. It's pretty crass. My 2c.
