Trump likely to acknowledge Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel

[Montmorency]

Viking and I are mostly speaking abstractly, but you seem to be more interested in certain present-day problems. We (at least I) weren't referring to any particular Israeli policy today; it's tangential and again I'll just refer to my judgement throughout the Backroom that Israel will increasingly become more unfriendly to all minorities because it's coming under the permanent sway of theo-fascists, who as far as "reproducing to save themselves" will become the dominant Jewish demographic in not too long. This will not, however, save them.

Anyway, my point is just, what's the point here after all? If someone is genuinely concerned with the security of people and peoples, advocating radical separatism and super-Balkanization is a counterproductive bet. Whether it's structural issues of government and institutions or cultural issues of values and norms, the result would be devastating.

(One potential consequence of Viking's argument, the angriest leftists would be right to argue that all Trump voters should be booted out of America for the safety and prosperity of the remainder - that's an ugly and unsustainable instinct. Or, the White Man should submit to peaceful(!) ethnic cleansing from the lands it has stolen from the indigenes - after all, every White should have a "home country" to return to.)

Absolutely true but the ethnic union was of peoples that were linguistically, religiously and culturally similar. The more dissimilar ones never integrated unless it was forced through essentially genocide, outright or cultural (the inquisition, English civil war, etc...

I'm not convinced that after a generation immigrants overall are more dissimilar to the autochthonous group than any random selection. The controversies raging today are narrower than that, about minority grievances real and imagined, competing myths, and broader political-philosophical debates we're having anyway.
