The newest radical chic anti-Semitism doesn't come from the Arab world, says Giulio Meotti. It comes from Europe. Who are the new anti-Semites who just banned Moty Cristal, an Israeli academic expert of negotiation theory,from attending a conference in Manchester? To use Tom Wolfe’s formula, they are the radical chic anti-Semites.Read the whole thing.
Their hub is not Teheran, but Western Europe.
They demonize Jewish nationalists, Jewish settlers and Jewish soldiers in place of Jewish usurers, Jewish capitalists, and Jewish communists.
If in the past anti-Semites were uncultured and muscled, the radical chic are flamboyant, snobbish and ephebic.
They are denationalized and secularized, wishing mankind to “cast away the yoke of national prejudices” (Rousseau).
They have cast Zionism as a cause of anti-Semitism, not as a response to it.
They see the bombing of a synagogue in Paris as a reprisal for an incursion into Gaza.
They play the “Hitler card”. They call the Israelis, Nazis. They see the Jewish State as seizing a Lebensraum for itself.
They depict the Jews not as avaricious or dishonest like in the past, but as militarists and exclusivists.
The only thing that bothers me about this formulation is that I think it understates the role of Islam in anti-Semitism today.

In Leviticus 18:22:
"And you shall not cohabit with a male as one cohabits with a woman; it is an abomination."
Leviticus 20:13:
"And if a man cohabits with a male as with a woman, both of them have done an abominable thing; they shall be put to death; their blood falls back upon them."
Dear Carl, as in pre-1979 Iran, the lefties thought they were helping the mullahs to create a socialist state in Iran, to destroy capitalism. They did most of the organisational work. As soon as Khomeini was in power, the marxists were killed off by the IRGC in its early incarnation, or they ran away, their usefulness to the mozlems at an end.
ReplyDeleteCheck out what this Egyptian mozlem says about izlame; he must be the last educated intelligent mozlem in Egypt! He does not mince his words.
