    I guess the chain of dominoes could go further back…

    • Far right / Europe in general persecutes Jews

    • Jews develop Zionism

    • Western support for Israel antagonizes Arabs

    • 9/11

    • War on Terror

    • mass migration to Europe and racial tension

    • resurgence of far right

    (I suppose umpteen reasons for the Jews to have gotten persecuted in Europe, but the new testament calling them Christ killers properly bears a lot of blame)

    (Then again, if the Romans had been a bit more reasonable taxing Judea in the first century and there wasn’t a war and Israel had been there the last two millennia then maybe the above wouldn’t have been so bad? Who knows)
