To be fair... Jews are prohibited to shake hands, be friend, and eat with gentiles... But they are allowed to do it if there's no alternative...

"darchei-shalom"

https://www.thejc.com/judaism/jewish-words/darchei-shalom-1.18966

Darchei Shalom Darchei Shalom means the ways or paths of peace.

Darchei Shalom means the ways or paths of peace, from the words derech, road, and shalom, peace. It is primarily a legal category rooted in Mishnah Gittin 5:8, which lists various halachot whose rationale is given as mipnei darchei shalom, to avoid quarrels and contention.

The Mishnah requires us to allow non-Jewish poor to gather the gleanings of our fields together with Jewish poor, mipnei darchei shalom. The Talmud elaborates: "We feed non-Jewish poor together with Jewish poor, visit their sick together with Jewish sick people... because of the ways of peace". Some medieval Askenazi commentators understood the reason to be equivalent to mishum aivah, meaning "because of animosity". Understood thus, the intention of the Talmud is that if we do not also feed non-Jewish poor, the non-Jews will hate and punish us.

That's for the "sanatized" version

And the Rabbis know that the parts of the religion that are misanthropic, that are discriminatory to non-Jews – pose a problem for them. Because if they try to implement them – there are some rules that are very unpleasant, like that 3 year-old girl we were talking about. If they try to implement them, there will be a Pogrom. So to avoid that situation, the Talmud defines two different states of reality.

There is (another) one called “Darkei Shalom” (Peaceful Ways).

In other words: “This is the actual religious law, this is how you are supposed to act.” “However, because it would cause a huge mess, and people will die, so due to ‘Peaceful Ways’, you don’t act that way. ” Now, until what point does the “Peaceful Ways” rule still apply? Just as long as the other situation does not exist, which is “When Israel is Mighty.” That’s when there is a Jewish regime. It is independent, and it is merciless, it can do what it likes. Under those circumstances – its all over, you go back to the letter of the law. No more “Peaceful Ways”, no more nothing. Now, when you think of Jewish history, lots of people talked about the Hasmonean Wars, which is pretty much the only time that Jews wielded weapons, and they think about what the Hasmoneans did to the Hellenized Jews (who assimilated Greek culture) – which was to make them extinct, to destroy them. A small genocide.
