 New anti-Semitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New anti-Semitism is the concept of an international resurgence of anti-Jewish incidents and attacks on Jewish symbols, as well as the acceptance of anti-Semitic beliefs and their expression in public discourse, which is held to be associated with certain left-wing political views.
The new anti-Semitism is regarded by proponents as a phenomenon that began to form, particularly in Europe, around the time of the Second Intifada in 2000 and the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
Critics of the concept of new anti-Semitism argue that, insofar as there is a resurgence of anti-Semitism, it is an outbreak of classical anti-Semitism, rather than a new form.

 UK Indymedia - The New Antisemitism
The New Antisemitism with which we have been dealing in recent years hides behind the cloak of "political criticism of Israel" in which the State of Israel is discriminated against, is held to a double standard and has doubts cast on its right to existence and security.
Antisemitism, that in the past had been the province of the radical nationalist right, is gaining more and more ground among organizations and societies which had in the past symbolized the forces of enlightenment, progress and democracy: the left-wing political parties, human rights organizations, academic communities and anti-globalization movements.
Antisemitism must be returned to its natural place as a venal and dangerous emotion, and expunged from the "right thinking" of certain sectors.

 Stephen Roth Institute: Antisemitism And Racism
The period that extended almost to the end of the 19th century was marked by antisemitic activity, defined as political antisemitism and represented by the emergence of political parties with antisemitic platforms, or at least with an antisemitic plank.
Antisemitism is not an ideology, as it is sometimes presented, but rather ‘a multi-faceted substitute’, and therefore it can serve the ideas of sundry circles.” Tury recognizes the central place of the unrealistic image, but emphasizes a differentiation that had not been made previously.
Antisemitism, here, is not an ideology but a tool employed by factions, groups and political parties, even those diametrically opposed to each other, which can unite for this purpose despite their differences.

A popular antisemitic motif in Europe in 2003, prior to and during the war in Iraq, was the accusation that the Jews held dual loyalty, or the allegation that the Jews, regardless of their citizenship, were loyal first and foremost to the interests of the Jewish people, currently dictated by the Sharon government.
Antisemitic motifs are mixed only infrequently with anti-Israel positions in Islamic circles in Argentina due to the good relations cultivated between the Jewish DAIA leadership and Arab leaders, represented by the local FEARAB.

 Review Essay: What's "New" - and what's not - about the New Antisemitism? - Jerome A. Chanes
Antisemitism was not looked at again by social scientists until the 1980s and 1990s, when two American "defense" agencies, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the ADL, bid to outdo each other with a series of studies on American antisemitism.
However, to tar all critics of Israel with the brush of antisemitism is unfair, so the argument goes, and may be counterproductive in that it is the first principle of community relations that counteraction of an activity should be premised on the motivating factor of that activity.
An analysis of the "new" antisemitism deserves more than the blanket assertion: "It comes from radical Islam and haters of Israel." Indeed, the position that anti-Israelism needs to be distinguished from antisemitism, whatever the antisemitic motivation of some Israelophobes, derives from a geo-political analysis of the contemporary phenomenon that goes beyond reiterating the "Muslims-hate-us" palaver.

 Globalisation, anti-Zionism and the New Antisemitism
The storm over Mahathir's antisemitic speech at the OIC a couple of weeks ago has led to a lot of intelligent comment about the growth of international antisemitism worldwide, and its relationship to anti-Zionism.
Strauss argues that the relationship between antisemitism and much of the anti-globalisation left is not simply a fad, nor about Israel or its policies, but has to do with the same trends of alienation and economic insecurity that have fuelled antisemitism in the past.
An even bigger problem is that when news people use weasel words like "militants" to describe bestial fanatics who blow up bus riders or wedding guests in Israel, it doesn't merely reflect their fear, which would be understandable, but their moral confusion.

 Jewish-Christian Relations :: Human Rights and the New Anti-Jewishness: Sounding the Alarm
In each instance the essence of antisemitism is the same — an assault upon whatever is the core of Jewish self-definition at any moment in time — be it the Jewish religion at the time of classical antisemitism, or the State of Israel as the "civil religion" of the Jewish people under this new anti-Jewishness.
This refers to the international "legal" character of this antisemitism, in which, in a kind of Orwellian inversion of law and language, United Nations human rights bodies become the mask under which this "teaching of contempt" is carried out.
If antisemitism is no longer respectable, and anti-Zionism in the form of the "Zionism is Racism" resolution has been exposed as a cover for antisemitism, what better mask than human rights — and the U.N. as repository of human rights — to carry out this process of distortion and defamation.

During the long era of Christian antisemitism, the transnational institution of the Catholic church spread the belief that Jews as Christ-killers were a cosmic force for evil.
Still, most of the antisemitic fire was aimed locally — by Germans at German Jews, by French at French Jews — for the harm that they allegedly inflicted on their countrymen.
So far the new globalized antisemitism has not proven to be as dangerous as earlier forms, except in the Middle East, but its disquieting features suggest that it has the potential.

Sharansky and 'the New Antisemitism,' by Adam Keller
Sharansky claims that even when criticism of Israel's policies is shown to be factually correct, voicing it may still be branded as antisemitic unless the critics can show that they devote an equal amount of time and energy to criticizing and condemning each and everyone else in the world who also deserves to be criticized.
Such people and groups are indeed Antisemites and deserve to be castigated as such.

An emblematic image of globalized antisemitism is of Donald Rumsfeld wearing a yellow star inscribed with "sheriff," followed by a cudgel wielding Ariel Sharon who is flanked by a golden calf.
Globalized antisemitism has other important and new features, including its instantaneous, global transmission through the Internet and by television's biased stories and inflammatory images of Palestinian suffering, which are incorporated into the antisemitic narrative; its unification of elements of the European left and right, and its semi-concealing cloak of anti-Zionism.
Yet the reawakening of antisemitism in its new globalized form meant that antisemitism succeeded again in metamorphosing and in extending its reach — even to Africa and Asia.

 Big Lizards:Blog:Entry “In Search of a New Antisemitism”
But starting in the latter half of the nineteenth century, European antisemitism shifted from the religious prejudices of previous centuries to a "scientific" Jew-hatred that was race-based.
Consciously antisemitic philosophers arose, primarily in Germany but elsewhere in Europe as well; and they began to associate Jews with a vicious and "cosmic" evil that was "in the blood," and could not be eradicated by mere conversion to Christianity.
Despite European-style antisemitic writings and speeches, throughout the early 20th century, Arabs still thought of Jews as cowards and clowns, people to mock, not destroy.

 State Department Opposes New Antisemitism Office   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Tom Lantos, the ranking Democrat on the House International Relations Committee, told the Forward this week that he was pushing ahead with a bill, HR 4230, that would create an Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism within the State Department.
"Not even the State Department denies there is a tremendous upsurge in antisemitism in Europe and in other parts of the world," Lantos said, noting Powell's speech in April at the conference on antisemitism in Berlin organized by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
State Department spokeswoman Darla Jordan said the department "strongly agrees that antisemitism is a serious problem and one that the U.S. government is working vigorously to eliminate in a number of ways," including direct diplomatic relations and participation in forums like the OSCE conference.
