The big lie returns : how anti-Semites are asserting their right to define "anti-Semitism" - and why the culture is allowing them to do it. |

Notes that a remarkable change has taken place in the discourse on antisemitism in the USA: now it is not the Jews who are entitled to define what is antisemitism, but the enemies of the Jews. The implication that the Jews themselves are to blame for the rise of antisemitism worldwide, and that the true victims of antisemitism are those people who "criticize" the Jews and are censured for that, has found its way into the mass media, university campuses, etc. Antisemitic discourse, in particular in the form of statements against Israel or the "Israel lobby" in the USA, has become respectable, and arguing against such discourse has become disreputable, if not dangerous. Discusses the case of the short-lived Yale Interdisciplinary Initiative for the Study of Antisemitism - after several publications and a conference held in 2010, Yale University closed the Initiative in 2011 for being pro-Israeli and abusive toward Palestinians. This kind of antisemitism, now on the rise in the USA, manifests itself in discourse rather than in violence, but this does not make it harmless we do not need to sink to the depths of the 1930s in order for antisemitism to be taken seriously. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) |
