There's more xenophobia in Europe now than there was anti-semitism in Europe during ww2.
Europe always loves a scapegoat. They can't get away with Jews anymore, so they use Americans as scapegoats.

What a horribly inaccurate thing to say. She was prosecuted for a murder, resulting from Satanic sex games/rituals. Now that only decrees that Knox, herself, was guilty of being interested in the Satanic rituals, not that she was being treated as a modern day with. Being a witch is not a criminal offence (to my knowledge), but murdering another person is.
Claiming that Europe thinks of Americans today, the way that the Nazi's thought of Jews during the holocaust, is offensive to just about everyone apart from Americans, and I would hope Americans on here would think that would be a wholly inappropriate comparison too.
