I would argue that to a degree it is antisemitic to say otherwise, particularly back when those Jewish communities were primarily living in Europe. Much of modern European antisemitism aimed to portray Jews as foreigners. When Germany began deporting Polish Jews, Germans reportedly chanted “off with them to Palestine”

jews aren’t indigenous to eastern europe tho. their ancestry didn’t start there, they migrated to europe. idk if it’s antisemitic it’s just like incorrect. native americans are indigenous to the americas, jews were exiled from israel. that’s the story of what happened.

Nobody’s ancestry originates in Europe. Everyone’s ancestors come from Africa if you go back far enough. All peoples of Europe arrived from elsewhere, just at different times in different migration waves.
