Abstract:
The new antisemitism is an innovation under the rubric of post-metaphysics. It is a watershed in the history of Israel, but also in the West, where it is part of a meta-narrative of the "new" (post-humanistic) progressivism. Criticism of Israel and opposition to its existence has a special status in the general criticism of Western civilization. On the one hand, the new antisemitism is a progressive alternative to the postmodern joy machine; on the other, it is enlistment into the ranks of world Jihad. It is a kind of religious force, with existential, philosophical and political implications for capitalist globalization and postmodern prosperity. Its powerful spirituality despises the Jewish spirit and the essence of Judeo-Christian civilization. Far from being a misguided radical domain, a passing fad or perversion, the new antisemitism is a challenge that must be confronted. The Jewish people has developed into a secularized, humanistic culture just when the world is going into a post-secular, anti-humanistic and postmodern era. Contends that the Jews have forgotten their universal task for human revival in the world, and have been too intent on Zionism and establishing a sovereign state like other states. Jewry must return to its original goal expressed in diasporic universalism in order to counter the progressivistic anti-Judaism now spreading in the world.
