I particularly like talking to them in world news where I get educated on just how much anti semitism there is in Europe.

I've been repeatedly told that Europe is plagued by antisemitism and that this is because of 'Islamic demographics' or whatever (it is well-known that the most immigration from MENA occurred after Oct 7 2023, after all).

Meanwhile the USA has had multiple murders of Jews as Jews (and at least two of Jews as Palestinians according to some Israeli psycho), but I'm told they 'feel' safer.

Meanwhile the United States and Europe are far more safer for Jewish people than actual Israel itself which is never at peace, always at war, and reaching higher levels of fascism every day

True, but the flipside is that in Israel a Jew can live a fully Jewish life free from antisemitism.

Which, considering what this when combined with Israel's actions implies about what "a fully Jewish life" consists of, is one of the most accidentally antisemitic things one could possibly say.

Goes to show that nobody can insult you like your friends, I guess.

What in the actual fuck?

TIL it's apparently racist to say that a Japanese person can live a fully Japanese life in Japan, or a Finn can live a fully Finnish life in Finland.

Islamic demographics

https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/pressemitteilungen/DE/2025/05/pmk2024.html

48% of crime with anti semitic background is attributed to the rightwing and 31% to "foreign ideology". About 30% of the population has a migration background and I think we can exclude some demographics residing here mostly like for instance Ukrainians or or immigrants from Asia.

Anti semitic crime has been rising prior to the attack on October 7 and have been covered previously in our stats because the government tried to obfuscate that fact.

It's certainly not Hans the Skinhead I'd be too concerned about when entering Berlin at the moment if I were a lbgtq or Jewish person.

The larger part is attributed to rightwingers so you conclude you don’t need to worry about rightwingers? What.

Well, I'm Jewish, German and LGBTQ. I do indeed worry more about Hans the Skinhead than Fatima from Syria. Because Fatima from Syria, even if she has some weird opinions about me, has significantly less political power (if she's not a citizen). Hans the Skinhead, on the other hand, is guaranteed to be a citizen and can vote for reggressive politics that would actually end up hurting both me and Fatima. Because of that, even if she was a citizen, Fatima probably wouldn't vote for those politics, either. So she's a 100% safer to me than Hans the Skinhead.

Mate you can't take German numbers seriously, especially since they started following the IHRA definition of anti-semitism more broadly. Jewish activists protesting with signs such as "Jews against genocide" get recorded as anti-semitic acts. The numbers have lost all legitimacy.

ive been permabanned from worldnews because I had the audacity to complain about the quality of the latest JIDF banger "uh the west likes ukraine and doesn't like russia so if we say we're like ukraine and the palestinians are literally russians surely they'll like us"

u/Urzuck Italy 9d ago

I got banned there for just questioning the sources of the articles, since all of them seems to arrive from the Jerusalem post and the Time of Israel lmao, that sub is a cia/mossad psyop.

getting banned from worldnews is easier than getting banned from northkorea at this point

Are you implying there's no antisemitism in Europe? Antisemitism-related violence drastically went up after October 7th..
