I presume you misunderstand the purpose of the Jewish state. It’s not to protect Jews living in europe from persecution, it’s to provide a safe haven from persecution. Without site they have no where to go when things get bad. And things to bad many times for Jews in the past 2500 years since their exile.
Thinking that the world isn’t tribal is naive, most of it is. Not living as a jew probably doesn’t give you the same perspective, we get daily articles about antisemitism around the world. Be it synagogue firebombs in Australia or Canada, Jewish schools getting shot at in USA, a Jew was refused service in a restaurant in Italy, another Jew had his ear torn off by a Syrian refugee in Athens, and there’s plenty more accounts. If you’re not exposed to that you have no idea how it feels. But I guess that Jews are “white” and can’t be discriminated against, or if they do, they deserve it.
You get headlines like that about literally every religious group facing some disgusting persecution elsewhere. Should every religious group have its own ethnostate in its legendary borders? Perhaps yes perhaps not. I am in the not camp where I feel religious distinctions are unnecessary labels we put on our species that hold us back. I don’t see why we shouldn’t all be able to live as neighbors and why we need to be kept apart. I know this is not a common sentiment of course, and most of the world considers itself still religious and in favor of segregation at least along subconscious cultural lines.
