Israel may be the Jewish state…

But really, it is a patchwork of communities, and pardon me if I do not have a full knowledge of who they are. Liberal, secular Jews; conservative, ultraorthodox Jews; Muslim Arabs, Christian Arabs, nomadic Arabs, Palestinian Arabs, Israeli Arabs; the Druze… did I miss anyone? Native people, Zionist immigrants? Everybody thinks he is at home, or not…

Now, I think of a similar reality in the making in Western countries. Can No-go Zones in France become new Gaza strips? Will there be pogroms?
