The Jew in the Diaspora cannot freely be a Jew. He always must consider “what will they think” and always must be sensitive to the feelings of non-Jews.

That is understandable because that is the plight of the liberal Diaspora Jews who wants to feel at ease.

It also raises the question, “When will they just come home?”
