Let's face it, the Jewish culture surviving this long is a miracle of some sort. I have no other explanation. I have three reasons why, you can give all the reasons you like why not.
1. The Jews currently exist, despite the fact that they really shouldn't- I know this statement may sound racist, but if it does, you are misinterpreting it. I'm not talking about morals, I'm talking about history. On average, a culture, after being dispersed across the globe will, on average, last five generations and then be assimilated. These figures are sensible for several reasons. First of all, consider a person who is 99% Italian and 1% Irish (Just random examples.) Will he be culturally affected by the Irish at all? Probably not, assuming he doesn't live in Ireland. If he lives in America (Which has all sorts of cultures) he'll probably act culturally Italian.
Now, my point is also backed up by this question. Where are the Moabites? The Philistines? The Ammonites? The Canaanites? Obviously their nations don't exist anymore, but why are there no, say, American Ammonites? Or Germain Moabites? Or Japanese Philistines? Or French Canaanites? But yet, there are American Jews, Germain Jews, Japanese Jews, French Jews, American Jews, and Jews from almost every country (Probably every country, but I say almost so I don't have to deal with a devil's adovacate saying "Well they aren't on X Tiny Island)
2. Israel has a country. How many nations have lost their country for thousands of years only to get it back? How many? Does Babylon have a country? Well, you could say its called Iraq, but then, Babylon's lost a LOT of its culture, its religion, its belief system, exc., which Israel still has. What about Macedonia? Well, technically they have a TINY country, but nothing like what they used to have. Rome? Well, they don't have nearly what they have. Israel got their country back even though they should not have logically been able to have done so. God's hand is upon them.
3. Israel STILL has a country even after 60 years of being attacked by Muslim nations very commonly. Now, you could argue "America is helping them" which is true, but, how much? Are we helping them that much? No, we're not. We are helping some, but are we recognizing Israel's CAPITAL CITY as theirs? No, we allow the PLO to occupy half of it. Do we invade the countries who invade Israel? We should, but we don't. This small a country should NOT be able to survive this long surrounded by enemies, and yet they do. Its a miracle.
