2000 years in the Diaspora has reduced some Jews to this sad state. Neturei Karta, the strange Litvak sect, has reorganized itself into Jews Against Zionism, an effective online Israel bashing movement. If you are not familiar with the story, here is a quick introduction.
Here they are in a pow wow with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They just sit there and nod as Mahmoud preaches Islamic end-of-time Mahdi dogma. Evidently, at the end of time Jews and Christians accept Muhammad, become Muslims, and help the Mahdi establish a perfect Caliphate, or something like that.
Finally, if you have 60 minutes to kill and are not afraid to enter the mind of the sect’s truly insane spiritual leader, watch Harold Hudson Channer’s one hour conversation with Rabbi Israel Domb. If you can not sit through the whole hour, just watch the last 15 minutes.

The Rabbi obviously did not hear about the razing of Cartage by Romans, the assimilation of Zoroastrians by Muslims, or the annexation of Tibet by China. History is replete with tales of the strong vanquishing the weak. Second, the Rabbi argues that Israeli strength does not guaranty survival. True, but weakness assures destruction.
