Germany has an even lower threshold for criticism of Israel and organized Judaism than the US.
Mainland Europe (excluding Germany) is generally way more pro-Palestinian than the US. However that doesn't extend to our institutions. Case in point: Dutch riot police brutally beating up University of Amsterdam students for setting up UCLA/Columbia-style tent blockades.
If you're an American academic or student you can come to Europe and continue both your work and pro-Palestinian activism within the Overton window of mainstream European consensus on the two-state solution. Anything that is more radical than that might get you in the same level of trouble or worse than the US.
Basically Europe is a non-solution for pro-Palestinian American academics and students.

How would you do the opposite of this? Optimize your content to be more likely crawled by AI bots? I know traditional Google-focused SEO is not enough because these AI bots often use other web search/indexing APIs.
There are script tags you can put in your site from LLM SEO companies if you want your content to be indexed by Perplexity or OpenAI. Theyre kind of too new for me to reccomend.
