There's a lot more (by a factor of at least, what, 100) Islam-motivated violence in Europe than there is Zionism- motivated violence. Jewish museum shooting, beheadings in London streets, Toulouse and Montauban, cartoon riots.

Not to mention white supremacist violence.

You really, really don't want to play this game.

Jews/Zionists are about the least violent people in Europe.
