The UK. But any Western country you run the risk of being labelled antisemitic for any and all criticism involving Israel.
Now what's interesting about the Holocaust, is that gay prisoners were present in the concentration camps too. And those gay men were attacked, abused and sometimes even raped by the other prisoners. Even the Jews being persecuted at the time engaged in wholesale persecution of gays. And then those camps were finally liberated, the gays were free too right? Nope, sent em right back to prison, zero lessons learnt. They excluded us from raparations, from being recognised as victims of the Holocaust. Fucking disgusting.
So when people bring up the Holocaust in relation to antisemitism it falls upon my deaf ears as a gay man.
