Abstract:
Warns against false analogies between antisemitism and Islamophobia. Based on perusal of emails sent to the German Jewish Central Council and the Israeli Embassy in Berlin, shows that anti-Jewish stereotypes and emotional resentment has preserved a hold on German minds. Argues that antisemitism is not just another system of prejudices, but constitutes an irrational and conceptually closed worldview. It cannot be compared to other forms of racism and xenophobia, including Islamophobia, without leading to conclusions which tend to leave out or marginalize the hatred of Jews.
