We're not in trouble because most of us aren't even marrying Jews?

We're in serious trouble: over 80% of American Jews intermarry (90%+ in places like Denver), effectively ending their Jewish line. A Jewish man marrying a non-Jew means his children aren't halachically Jewish; a Jewish woman marrying a non-Jew often produces self-hating, anti-Torah offspring. This alarming rate persists despite significant anti-Semitism (42% of Americans openly admit hating Jews), leading to the controversial view that anti-Semitism serves as a divine tool, like before the Holocaust, to keep us separate. If current trends continue, we face a silent Holocaust, where Judaism could disappear in a single generation, nullifying 3,300 years of ancestral sacrifice. This is not about prejudice, but a direct violation of Hashem's command for Jews to marry only Jews, which severs one's connection to Him and invites disaster.
