Terrorism, eh? Ok. Well, here's a comprehensive list of "terrorism" against Jews in Europe from the beginning of civilization until today, with a special focus on recent events:

Again, I'm sure it's just my imagination.

It is. The vast majority of the recent events described in that page are either of political nature and directed towards Israel (a random one: "In January 2009, group of members of ruling Social Democrats (former Communists party) demanded a boycott of Israeli products because of the Gaza war") or completely trivial (some teenager writing something against Jews on a wall) or simply imaginary ("In 1998, Ignatz Bubis said that Jews could not live freely in Germany.") [pffft].

The fact is, Europeans are much stronger critics of Israel's actions than Americans are. And for very good reasons. The rhetoric of the supporters of Israel is to delegitimize political criticism labelling it as racism. That's why that WP page you just linked is full of trivial events, mixed with political statements, mixed with unverifiable opinion polls that purport to demonstrate that Europeans are evil racists. I'm sick of this bullshit.

Oh that's cute, so when Jews are killed it's terrorism, but when they're not, it's trivial?

Europe used to have a population of Jews numbering in the millions. You killed most of them off and chased the rest out.

But oh, how you've changed!

> The fact is, Europeans are much stronger critics of Israel's actions than Americans are.

What I find fascinating is that Israel's neighbors are guilty of far, far worse. But people like you ignore the slaughter in Syria, the suppression in Egypt, and all the other crazy that happens in virtually every country in the Middle East ... and point your finger at ... Israel.

I don't see you ranting and raving about any other country in the Middle East, guilty of far worse ... only Israel.

It wouldn't be because you're an "evil racist" would it?

>> You have killed them off

To be honest I find your idiotic remark disrespectful. I live in a country that suffered a lot under two world wars. While I certainly acknowledge that jewish people suffered a lot it certainly wasn't the case that the rest was living a trouble free life. I know from my grandfather that in my family there was also a cost regarding lost lives.

And them I'm ignoring the fact how you could make me personally responsible for something that happened 40 years before I even was born and even in another country.

>> But people like you ignore the slaughter in Syria, the suppression in Egypt, and all the other crazy that happens in virtually every country in the Middle East

Except that in Europe those events are also wel documented and criticised for example http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws.english/News/1.1711852, etc.

ALL events where people suffer are critiqued that is even the fact for normal Israeli-an people that suffer from terroristic actions. We are critiques of any form om terrorism being religious or state terrorism.

But it is not that because middle eastern countries are doing despicable stuff that Israel should get a free pass. While you can't be blind for those thing that is also the case for the illegal settlements, the "collective punishment" mantra, the constant war mongering, etc.

There seems to be only one clearly uninformed bigot... .
