The average Burgerlander's perception of the entire Middle East is an eerie desert camera filter and exotic scary music that'd be on a Call of Duty map.

Australian, but might as well be a burgerland colony
A lot of Burgerlanders worship the concept of the place you live and romanticize the people living there as macho caricatures that say c--t to everyone at all times including their mums, and want that to be their justification to say it toward feeemales they don't like here in Burgerland. 
It's textbook orientalism. Its a western tradition stemming from before the US was even born.
I don't want to compare the racism I face with others and say mine is worse, because obviously that's just stupid. But anti-arab racism and islamophobia in the western world is overt in a way you don't really see outside of hatred of travelers/romani. At least the average westerner is somewhat cognizant of the fact that they should hide their other ethnic prejudices better.
because "arabs are just violent and can't stop killing each other"
the denizens of the eur*pean🤮 continent and their descendants have never stopped being violent animals who project their barbarity onto other peoples
european peninsula*
Americans are well trained after Iraq and Afghanistan
Australian, but close enough.
Burgerland lite, you say?
Yes it's all the same tropes but wrapped in a protective false consciousness of what Judaism is. Seeing people around me easily return to voicing their racist bloodlust against brown people. They're too ignorant to even process what Arab or Muslim means, they don't really distinguish brown people.
Sounds like the liberal narrative
I was told asking the question “what else where they supposed to do?” as posed by Finkelstein shows that my entire body of thought is rotten to the core.
It seems to be the new talking point “reevaluate your values”. Genocide is good sometimes when you’re really upset
