:::::::::Here's where you need historical reasoning: that quote was Ben Gurion's reaction to the Brits shutting down Jewish emigration to Mandatory Palestine. Ben Gurion could see what was coming. German antisemitism in the 1930s and 1940s is by no means unique to Germany. German Jews, who emigrated to Poland, France, and elsewhere in Europe - or for that matter all Jews anywhere in Europe - were fingered by locals to the Gestapo and Nazi occupiers. Sure, the Germans did not occupy England, but the British government showed how unwelcoming of Jews they were when they shut emigration to Mandatory Palestine, which the Zionists viewed as their only safe haven.
