Lithuania: Israeli attacked by Egyptian for “occupying Palestinian land” | The New Antisemite

Well Jew hatred is alive and well in the world, as I learned the other night when I was targeted for being an Israeli Jew. I arrived to Lithuania on Tuesday to travel and that same evening signed up for a pub crawl organized by my hostel. At one of the bars our group was standing outside when a random guy not connected to our group asked me where I’m from. I told him Israel then his eyes widened and he said that he’s from my “enemy country.” I asked him what he meant and he said that he’s from Egypt. I tried to be diplomatic and told him that we’re not enemies since there’s a peace treaty, and that I’ve traveled to Egypt before and it’s a nice place. He asked me if I’d served in the army, and what I “think of politics,” and if I think the land of Israel belongs to Jews or to Palestinians. I continued to try to diffuse the situation so I just told him that I’m not at the bar to discuss politics. He kept asking and I kept dismissing him with the same answer. After a few times I shook his hand, told him to have a good evening, and went inside.
