127. The implication of your post...
is that Jews were just 'guests' in the countries that they lived in, and that the natives of their countries were their 'hosts' who could have the right to deport them at any time.

Of course it was often the case (and that's the main reason why they wanted their own state!) but that doesn't make it *right*.

The expulsions of Jews were mostly not of immigrants, let alone temporary visitors, but of people who had lived in these countries for generations.

Do you think that the descendants of immigrants remain mere 'guests' in their countries? If so, for how many generations?
