Five Lessons about Modern Jewish History for both the Israel junta & its Critics

Re "Jews know our own history"... sounds wrong...I have personally had to restore at least four or five central facts about Jewish modern history:

1) the French Revolution emancipated European Jews from centuries of Christian persecution

2) European Jews were victims of Czardom's pogroms despite trying to "assimilate" (ie make religion a private matter), that slid into the proto Nazi and Nazi movements before and after WW1...

3) European Jews hadn't been permitted into the professions until the Emancipation...gold was one they had been allowed in, with the rise of Nazism and Hitler, European Jewish gold flooded into 🇺🇸, a peak with WW2... that basically allowed the USD to replace Sterling as the world's reserve currency...

4) the 3 Feb 1919 American memo to Woodrow Wilson for a Jewish "national home" came from a maximum of 150,000...out of a population of 3.5 million American Jews at the time; it was opposed on 4 Feb 1919 by other American Jews claiming to represent the majority; Rabbi Elmer Berger pioneered the modern critique of Israel saying Zion in Judaism is a theological concept about human moral behaviour, nothing to do with any historical or political place or location;

5) Martin Buber pioneered a collaborative cooperative Zionism bridging East and West...but Jabotinsky instead created the vicious sadistic greedy current ideology of
