Rising Antisemitism in America

Fighting it within the Galut (Exile) is lunatic and impossible,

Sorry, I have to disagree.  Just look at what the JDL did when Chaim was in charge. 

What Rav Kahane and Chaim did during the JDL era was not to fight anti-Semitism. Its aim was to liberate the Soviet Jews and defend Jews from anti-Semites and not to stop anti-Semitism (an idea that has been tried for all over the Galut era, and never succeeded, Sinat Olam Le'Am Olam).

No one can control what another person thinks in his head.  No one can force an anti-semite to like Jews.  But the way Chaim and Rabbi Kahane defended Jews from anti-semites made those disgusting people think twice about messing with Jews.  Bullies tend to get bored and move on when their victims make clear they're not going to take the abuse.

This is what I was saying. We cannot stop anti-Semitism but we can fight against anti-Semitism to defend ourselves. But once one anti-Semite is down, another one goes to power. We do not belong here and if we don't understand this, if we do not understand that our place is Israel and only Israel in the easy way, anti-Semitism will rise and make us understand it the hard way.

Indeed. But what they did was like what the Partisans did during the Holocaust - they defended themeselves so they could be able to go back to Zion once the war is over. They didn't want to defend Jews so Jews could live well in the Galut because it will never happen.
