'...to see someone protesting with extremely anti-Semitic symbols, it was heartbreaking.”

During a pro-Israel event at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Monday, a man displayed a sign with a swastika on it. While the event organizer believed his intention was to “spark a conversation,” she said there were different approaches he could have taken.

In a video posted on Facebook, the student with the sign commented that he thought it was “funny” and later said it was intended to “spark a conversation.” A gallery assistant poses with a captured Nazi swastika flag, signed by original members of the SAS, listing their missions in Africa during World War II, at the National Army Museum on March 15, 2018, in London.

This student sounds like a racist fool.

Always an excuse for antisemitism

Mission accomplished?

'being attacked for who they are' sounds familiar...

When Eurovision goes to IsraelIceland’s Eurovision entry has caused a stir by criticising this year’s host, Israel, for its treatment of the Palestinians I don’t even care to read about it. Ew. And who gives a fuck. Israel is not Europe and nobody watches this euro utopian garbage anyway. REALLY. I am Dutch and you already know which country is going to give what to another based PURELY on political ties. Turkey ALWAYS gives 0 points to Greece. Germany/France friends I think that's not entirely accurate.
