anti-semitism at large!

[cimorene]

Large portions of the European public continue to believe that Jews still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust. Overall, 44% of those surveyed believe it is "probably true" that Jews still talk too much about the Holocaust. A majority of respondents in Austria, Hungary and Poland believe it to be true.

In Austria and Poland they think that? Oh, you have got to be shitting me. Does "irony" even cover it?

Is is a Judith in your icon? It rings faint vague bells of a painting I must somehow know - that, or the ways her arm extends suggests the ways Judith is portrayed holding Holophern's head for display.

(not really commenting on the rest - my family suffers from an exaggerated anti-Polish and anti-Austrian sentiment based on their perception as particularly anti-semitic countries still to this day, so... I feel both nauseated and validated and stupid all at once.)

No, it's Salomé by (...*checks icon comments*) Robert Henri. Also, I know pretty much nothing about the Old Testament including who either Judith or Holophern are (but I'll look it up).

Ah, the other beheading woman! (Judith saves her homies/country/peoples/Judea by beheading Holophern.)

UGH.

On the plus side, they aren't denying that it happened? :-/

Silly Jews, why can't we keep the past in the past!

How dare they talk about that one time we tried to exterminate them less than 100 years ago! Selfish bastards.

Oh for fuck's sake. *talks about the Holocaust, just to spite them*
