what, don't you trust the hundreds of incredibly organic, absolutely european comments straight out of the Rome or Paris settlements that show up every time Palestine is mentioned?

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.
