      Thanks for being honest and asking in good faith. So pretty much the whole history has been defined by genocides and being used as fodder for scapegoating.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_question … this is a pretty controversial vein of the dialogue for you to get started. You don’t have to feel one way or another but it’s an example of the modern West’s dynamics

        Oh I know that. I was talking specifically about whether antisemitism affected foreign policy. Like, didn’t Western countries just persecute Jews inside their borders while not really caring about ones outside? That’s why I said “outside their borders”.
