Yes, that’s the part part I’m taking issue with, since I knew all that going in.

I recognize your podcast is about food and not politics, but it’s precisely that issue which stood out like a neon sign to me.

Jews have been places for a long time, and yet our presence in a place is seen as “taking over” and “pushing out the native population”.

I don’t know about the UK, but we see this a lot in the US, and in Rome it’s even more glaringly racist because it’s this idea that the Jews, who have been there for 2,000 years, are suddenly “pushing out” the “natives” with their “ethnic cuisine”.
