I am very grateful to you for all these informations. It helps a LOT to understand the history of the phenomenon. How do you explain the quasi-silence of the diaspora. Some rabbis express clearly the same idea you a stating here. I'm thinking of Rabbi Shapiro specifically but there are others. But the Jews as a community must be fed up with this eternal misinformation mixing religion with state. This video is a brilliant example of what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzYqimDCyjs  By the way, I am not Jew myself. I am human, like every Jew. :-)
