    Everyone here should read up on this. I’m usually not one to go on an antisemitism moral panic, but this is a real and dangerous indicator for where Europe is possibly headed.

      I recommend reading "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine“ by Israeli historian Ilan Pappe. Most Jewish Arabs had no desire to move to the settler colony until religious violence was facilitated by western countries and Zionists after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

      Examples are the Baghdad bombings that aimed at frightening Iraqi Jews or even doing payments per head to the Moroccan king because Jews didn’t want to leave home. They successfully managed to escalate tensions so far that people eventually did move, but European politicians try to frame the Arab world as antisemites when Europeans have committed the worst possible atrocities against Jews including, but also long before the holocaust, whereas the Muslim world was a refuge for Jews. Very sad development.

      Let’s hope that people don’t fall for the Zionist propaganda that conflates Judaism with Zionism, although I’m not having too much trust in humanity at this point.
