saw sthg on the news about stars of David being painted on walls in Paris and it being racist. Is it all about context? I really have no clue (generally, but also about this).
scared even to elaborate on the question for fear of someone imputing me with anything like cohesive thought.

Why do you think it might be? How would you feel if a stencil of something that identified you suddenly appeared on your front gate?

Europe has a memory of "Kauft nicht bei Juden" for some reason and stars of David being painted on their businesses.
I'm sure we're jumping to conclusions...

Why would anyone do this any other reason than to be anti-Semitic?
Like, what is the other reason?
Remember when someone put bacon on a mosque - clearly a hate crime. Why else would they do it?

I dunno, if you went around painting crescents on muslim houses and thus marking them out the general population as somewhere that the "others" live, it might also been seen as quite sinister

“is it all about context”
the context of people wanting to harass jews?
unless jews are painting them as a form of self-assertion

Shades of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. In context, it is anti-Semetic.

In fact, no 'context' is needed.

Whoever keeps going around sticking England flags on the houses of bald middle aged Englishmen in Essex really needs to stop, while we're on the subject.

I think I once asked why old houses have so many chimneys.
