| Description |
Criticizes Alain Badiou's views on the Jews and Israel expressed in his book "Circonstances 3: Portées du mot 'juif'" (2005). Argues that Badiou, who in the name of "anti-Nazism" wants to abolish the word "Jew", is blind to history and the fact that Hitler did not invent the word "Jew". The significance the word has acquired since the Shoah has not led to excessive indulgence toward Israel, as Badiou claims on the contrary, Israel is judged more harshly than any other state. Attributes Badiou's concern for the Palestinians to Platonic idealism, Christian eschatology, and revolutionary zeal directed against all that is old. In advocating the disappearance of the "anachronistic and criminal" Jewish state, Badiou simply draws on the Christian myth of the sacrifice of the Jew for that which is universal. Argues that Badiou tries to convince the reader that nationalism is incompatible with universalism and Israel with humanism, and concludes that Judaism's foremost task today is to refute this claim.
