I guess the chain of dominoes could go further back…
Far right / Europe in general persecutes Jews
Jews develop Zionism
Western support for Israel antagonizes Arabs
9/11
War on Terror
mass migration to Europe and racial tension
resurgence of far right
(I suppose umpteen reasons for the Jews to have gotten persecuted in Europe, but the new testament calling them Christ killers properly bears a lot of blame)
(Then again, if the Romans had been a bit more reasonable taxing Judea in the first century and there wasn’t a war and Israel had been there the last two millennia then maybe the above wouldn’t have been so bad? Who knows)
