A friend of mine was at a folk festival on the weekend. (Can’t think of anything worse myself, but she enjoyed it.) Had a lovely time until her companion, who’d recently had knee surgery, asked someone to move their chair a few inches. They initially refused & when asked again, asked my friend’s companion if she was Jewish. She was flabbergasted, asked why, & was told to forget it. (She is, & along with my friend, is horrified & disgusted by the actions of Israel against Palestinians. I might’ve responded, “Why? Are you anti-Semitic?)
@Susan60 Yeah, that's a classic Soviet anti-Semitic exchange, commemorated by comedians too, and probably existed even before Israel was formed. Just picking on people for no reason.
