Philip, when you say ‘Muslim war against the Jews’, do you mean ‘Palestinian resistance to Israeli attacks’.? I do hope you are not one of those who equate Palestinians militants (Muslims and Christians) to ‘Muslims globally’, or equate Isreal’s Likudniks to ‘Jews globally’. It will be truly sad if too many American Jewish academics became like Alan Dershowitz.

Yes, Alex, how very scientific of Dawkins – a few anecdotes presented as if they were hard, scientifically generated data. Is Dawkins’ science as full of holes as his writing on religion?

Paul Whitmore wrote, “…it’s dopey to quote [Richard Dawkins] as if his point of view on religion is definitive.”

I agree.  Fof the definitive citation, see J. Lennon (1971):

Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky

…Where they would have been accused of stealing palestinian’s land. You know how these things goes.

Jews were disproportionaately targeted in Galtieri & his generals’ terror from the mid 70s to 1983 or so. Theoretically I suppose they could “run” to Israel?

Dawkins is a very acute critic — But it’s dopey to quote him as if his point of view on religion is definitive.
Attending a Jewish service in Argentina risks inciting suicide bombing? It’s about as dangerous as viewing an El Greco painting exhibit.
As for Philip’s other point about Argentina’s anxious Jews, I would wonder: Didn’t Eichmann’s presence there until 1960 undercut some of the jews’ security in their community?
