The body carries many pathogens, but usually man survives. His body also carries antigens, and these fight the pathogens Usually, health is maintained. Of the various pathogens, anti-Semitism is one of the most virulent and deadly.
The first Jew was Abraham. He his son, Isaac, and grandson, Jacob, made their home where God had led them; namely, Israel. a rocky, land that rarely had enough rain to make it fertile. It was suitable mainly for raising sheep. The story goes on with the original twelve tribes reduced to two.
The Jews survived the Babylonians, but they could not survive the Romans, who scattered them throughout Roman empire and renamed what had once been Judaea and Samaria, Palestine. In time, the Emperor Constantine flipped the Roman religion over to Christianity. Despite their Jewish origins, the Christians had little love for the Jews.
The Jews made their home throughout Europe in little Jewish shtetls. Where they found themselves in cities, the Christians confined them to ghettos. The abuse of Jews continued until it hit its apex with Hitler, the anti-Semite who murdered half of Europe's Jews, six million of them.
Christians throughout the world did little to help the Jews. They offered them no escape throughout this dreadful period. There was no bombing by the allies of the rails leading to the concentration camps. There had been no antigen for this terrible pathogen, anti-Semitism.
Hitler was defeated because he had threatened European countries. It had nothing to do with his wonton murder of Jews.
For Jews there was only one answer; only one antigen, a country of their own - Israel.
Will Judaism survive global anti-Semitism? We will soon find out.
