Upon Jews not predisposed to commit crime, on the other hand, the effect will be that through no fault of their own, they will be regarded with heightened suspicion arising in part from people's memory of Jewish malefactors who have fled to Israel, and arising in part also from people's mistrust of anybody who possesses, even if inadvertently, the option of avoiding responsibility by fleeing to a sanctuary. Instances of outstanding Jewish malefactors who have found sanctuary in Israel have been reported in the media, and could be put on the Ukrainian Archive if necessary. Offering sanctuary to Jewish malefactors is pernicious to Israel. If a country offers sanctuary to thieves, traitors, murderers, war criminals, acid-throwers, and the like, then the concentration of evil in that country increases, and the flight of good from that country accelerates. One effect of implementing such a feedback loop will certainly be increased emigration to Israel, but the magnitude of the side effects may be difficult to gauge, and may be impossible to dampen once they begin to spin out of control.
Jewish leaders are overly confident in their ability to ride the tiger.
They are insufficiently mindful of the Biblical injunctions to not sow the wind. Six Orthodox Jews were shot and wounded Friday night as they walked home from a synagogue in a Chicago neighborhood. Five of the victims were in serious condition, but no wounds were considered to be life threatening, hospital officials said. There were no immediate arrests. The shootings came on the Sabbath, a time when Orthodox Jews do not operate vehicles.
