I’m confused. Very, very confused.

Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says his country is in imminent danger of being nuked off the face of the earth by Iran.

But he wants every Jew to flee terror attacks in the rest of the world…and come to live in Israel?

Makes perfect sense, right?

Well, no, obviously it doesn’t.

Netanyahu’s reaction to the latest appalling terror attacks in Denmark, which echoed sentiments he expressed after the Charlie Hebdo outrage in Paris, is a disgrace: cowardly, self-serving, crassly insensitive and overtly political.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the midst of a tough reelection fight and is trying to portray himself as a savior of Jews around the world, writes Piers Morgan

He’s got an election coming up, one he’s in serious danger of losing.

So what better way to galvanize the Israeli electorate than to portray himself as the great savior of all Jews around the world?

But, of course, it would have the complete opposite effect to the one he suggests.

If every Jew in the world DID heed his clarion call to emigrate to Israel, then the only winners would be Islamic fundamentalists.

ISIS and Al Qaeda would absolutely love every Jew fleeing their homes and heading to Israel. It would be the greatest imaginable PR coup for them.

Jair Melchior, Denmark’s chief rabbi, got it right when he said: ‘People from Denmark move to Israel because they love Israel, not because of terrorism. If the way to deal with terror is to run somewhere else, we should all run to a deserted island.’

Netanyahu is also trying, cynically in my view, to depict the current war on terror as a war solely on Jews, which is palpable nonsense.

The Jordanian pilot burned alive in a cage was a Muslim.

The 21 Egyptians recently beheaded on a beach in Libya were Coptic Christians.

In Paris, the second attack, in the kosher supermarket, was clearly aimed specifically at Jews. But the first attack, on the Charlie Hebdo offices, was aimed at cartoonists, of all religions.

The lifeless body of the terrorism suspect lays a sidewalk in Copenhagen following a shootout with police. He is believed to be the man who killed two people in a pair of attacks in the Danish city this weekend

Similarly, in Copenhagen, the first shooting attack was aimed at a café where a cartoonist who had mocked Prophet Mohammed was speaking. The audience was multi-racial, multi-religion.

The second attack, on a synagogue, was, we presume, deliberately targeting Jews.

So yes, Jews are in danger. But so are we all.

That is not to negate the very real, and very troubling rise in anti-Semitism, especially in Europe.

One that requires immediate and effective action from the leaders of all countries where it is happening.

But the answer is not to fly the white flag of surrender and flee.

As the Danish Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, said: ‘They (Jews) belong in Denmark, they are a strong part of our community, and we will do everything we can to protect the Jewish community in our country.’

The same applies to Britain, France, America and any other country with significant Jewish populations.

I interviewed Netanyahu several times for CNN, most notably when I flew to Jerusalem in 2011 and spent a morning with him.

He’s a rough, tough old political bruiser, able to flick on both easy charm and belligerent aggression at the verbal push of a button.

At one stage, he walked me into his office and showed me a large map behind his desk. He used his hand to show the size of the neighbouring countries around Israel – Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran.

Then he took a single finger and placed it on Israel.

‘We’re a tiny country…surrounded by countries 40 times our size. We live in a tough neighborhood.’

The imagery was stark and powerful, and the message clear: ‘Look how small and vulnerable we are compared to everyone else in this region.’

Netanyahu’s leadership has been dominated by that defensive, isolationist mindset. He’s convinced everyone’s against him and his country, when they’re demonstrably not.

Israelis can decide next month whether they still want him to be their leader.

But the rest of us are perfectly entitled, right now, to tell him to shut up.

Mainly because his logic is so deeply flawed.

The single most dangerous place for Jews to live outside of Israel, statistically, is New York City.

More have been killed by terrorism there this century than any other country.

How so?

Well cast your minds back to September 11, 2001.

At least 270 Jews are known to have died in the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11. Possibly as many as 400.

That’s between 10 and 15 percent of all the victims.

I don’t remember hearing anyone, least of all Benjamin Netanyahu, declare then that every Jew in New York should immediately quit the city and go and live in Israel.

No, what I saw and heard was the whole city, regardless of ethnicity or religion, come together as one to stand up against this hideous attack on their freedoms.

The Jewish community, which totals over a million people in New York - making it the largest outside of Israel itself – stood firm and resilient.

And that, surely is the correct response to any terror attack, anywhere in the world?
