I would think the existence and behavior of Israel, which is
so much like many other ethnically-based states -- full of
hatred and violence verging on genocide -- would be reassuring
to the world: they're like us!  And so would contribute to a
decrease in anti-Semitism.

It was when Jews were a people without a land, "cosmopolitan",
literate, urban and urbane, that they were most widely hated
and most vigorously persecuted.

As Stalin is said to have said, "It is precisely the innocent
who are the most guilty."
