[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason Americans are sensitive to antisemitism is because America, and [b]the West in general[/b], has a long history of antisemitism.

We saw what happened in the Holocaust and said never again. Yet antisemitism still rears its head. Jews are the most frequent target of religiously motivated hate crimes in the US, and we still have people who deny the Holocaust.

But it’s easy to miss it if you don’t really care.[/quote]

The west?   “The west alone is antiSemitic.” That is your premise??

Hmm - as opposed to “the east?” As in China, Japan, Korea, etc??

Did it ever occur to you:  few to no Jewish people live in Asia / the East? [/quote]

I never said anything about the East.  I'm pointing out the long history of discrimination against Jews in the West.  Do you deny that the West has had a history of antisemitism?

Germany just added questions about Judaism and Israel into its citizenship test.  Antisemitism and Holocaust denial still exists.  That is why people in America are sensitive to it.  There's a history.[/quote]
