Abstract:
Contends that the existence of the State of Israel has "normalized" antisemitism in Western Europe. While traditional antisemitism was directed against the Jews as metaphysical strangers, the new antisemitism is disguised as anti-Zionism; the double standard of judgment to which Israel is held is a clear sign of antisemitism. The denial of Israel's right to exist by post-modernists, anti-globalizationists, and Islamists is equivalent to a denial of the Jewish nation's right to exist. Antisemitism unites the extreme Right, extreme Left, and fundamentalist Islam, for all of which Israel and its supporters have become the new metaphysical strangers. Post-modernists consistently deny the connection between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, and anti-Jewish attacks in Europe are seen as "socially motivated". Europeans even blame the Jews for using such attacks to their own advantage. A marginalization of Jews has already begun in Europe, causing many Jews there to refrain from publicly supporting Israel.
