The declining priesthood, as well as Irish suicides, comes from despair - which leads to exit rather than resistance.

Most Zionists know the difference between a President who will be highly supportive of Israel (even when this is against Israel's long term interest and the interest of peace) and what is essential constituent service to the alt-right - which comes in crumbs.
