Can you deal with it?

In Volume VIII of his A Study of History (published in 1954), British historian Arnold Toynbee wrote that "the Israeli has become an entirely 'new man' because he has divested himself of his Jewish past."

Context:

Toynbee was making an argument about Zionism and Jewish identity. His view was that:

• The Israeli represented a complete break from Diaspora Jewish history and tradition
• By creating a secular, nationalist, territorial state, Israelis had transformed themselves into something fundamentally different from "the Jew" of the preceding 2,000 years
• He described Israelis as "half American farmer-technician, half Nazi sicarius" (sicarius meaning assassin)

I can affirm that this is true. Can you deal with it?
