Despite being a recent immigrant to Europe, I have lived here long enough to know that people I am referring to have no idea of their own history, have no idea of the complexities of international politics, and, most surprisingly, have never even met a single Jew in their life.
Whenever I have directly confronted and disapproved of such acts and utterances, I have repeatedly been asked a question (and often by righteously indignant perpetrators themselves); why does "their" anti-Semitism bother "me"?
It does bother me. As an immigrant who has made a conscious choice of calling Europe my home, it bothers me even more than it should bother them.
