And then they transplanted that antisemitism there, which was already a dogma of the left anyhow; when I was a youngster living in Ireland in the 70s, my late father could be openly Jewish, but I suspect that would not be the case today. The EU made that hatred metastasize on top of all that, with their non-stop anti-Israel propaganda and pushing of “secular” leftist doctrine.
Similarly, Sunday School would be considered child abuse because religion is being unloaded into the brains of children too young to assess it rationally.
