    Yeah, generally anecdotal evidence is garbage without any evidence backing the claim. Spending some time in Europe does not make you educated on the dynamics of a society. Furthermore, acting like you know the visiting countries Muslim societies when you are not entrenched means your anecdotes are even further from reality. But, rather a construct of your experiences. I usually ignore this nonsense as it's truly nonsensical, but hey this is the reality of world we live in, lol

    Not quite that simple at all even though they are factors as well, I would add the following:

    1). Europe let villagers and runts of society (admittedly poor choice of words) whereas USA vetted their immigrants. These European immigrants have little knowledge of religion, education, and identity so they stick with little they know and who they know. They then are indoctrinated into those poor set of settings and ideas and find it difficult to leave.

    2) USA is the land of opportunity, if you are good at something it does not matter who or what you are, you will get ahead. That is why Muslims, Hindus, and Asians have prioritized education and gotten ahead. Hard work pays off more often than not. The formula works plus these people came from families where education is prioritized and even if it is not they see around them people moving up the ladder with hard work.

    3) Europe has many Welfare programs. These Muslim immigrants came from difficult societies where taking advantage of the system is the only way to survive. So they do the same when they end up in these countries.

    4) European countries are more racist. In America there is racism too but opportunity trumps it and therefore people find that they can still succeed even though racism exists. Just look at who runs Microsoft and Google. When immigrants see people like themselves in powerful positions it is a great motivator.

    Good points about the USA, except now the stupid people don’t want all the smart people to get in colleges for some dumb racial quota

    all those legal immigrants study hard to make the grade while the fat kids of the fat parents cry it’s unfair when they fail math and biology

    Just curious as to where you have observed this? Honest question.

    I personally know tons of Jews who have taken down their mezuzot since 10/7.

    Dark.

    Most Palestinians I've met have been beautiful souls. If you change the asteroid to wiping only Hamas and not all of Gaza out, I don't think anyone would be more relieved than Palestinians - at least the type that I've known.

    You make it sound like we left by choice, mang!

    Pretty much the polar opposite experience as the Vikings, right?

    If Trump gets re-elected, it will partly be because of people like her.

    This narrative about the Jews being the chosen people or whatever is r****ded, and nothing more than a cute jest. It's certainly not the stance of the majority of the Jewish community.

    Again, the Jews were kicked out violently. Then, upon the Jews' return, the Palestinians were offered their own state - which they didn't even have before! Again, they were offered their own state, but refused (which led to a Palestinian civil war).

    Respectfully, pretty much nothing about your recap is accurate.

    Bullshit. Israel could do that any time they want.

    False equivalence is false.

    So much for the UN being any kind of minimally respectable moral authority.

    The only way Judaism spreads at all is through guilt trips from our mothers.
