you know...i've read similar stuff. but it was about the threat of the "state with in a state" of Jewish communities prior to empancipation. For much of modern history, remember, that Western nations did not treat Jews as citizens...
The anxiety over this question took many forms...the Balfour declaration, the Dryfuss trial...
I think i could go on, but my point isn't with the extremes. It's with how difficult it was for states to imagine nationalism as including previously excluded groups.
