jews need to be a bit paranoid. it was the lack of being paranoid that led us to so many jews dieing in the Holocaust. if more jews got scared when Hiter (may his name be erased) rose to power, more could have been saved.
That's the problem. "Death to Israel" etc is used in the ME as a standard rallying call in some circles. But it's as tired a mantra as the "Axis of Evil" tbh. The paranoia may well have saved a lot more. It may not. Who knows. Right now it's causing as many problems as it is solving.

The US has tried to wipe a few places off the map over the years - but those countries have managed to forget about it and move on. It's killed millions of Vietnamese, millions more Cambodians. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. And had a pivotal role in countless brutal proxy wars and suppressions in Africa and Central/South America. But none of those countries have become paranoid or devoted their existences to defending themselves against the next wave of US attacks.
