2011] THE NEW JUDEOPHOBIA 97
“It is sad to see the almost parallel similarity between the treatment of
Nazis dispensed to the Jews and that Jews dispense today ‘to the Palestinians
and Arabs in general.’” 50
“Israel is a militarized and genocidal people that want the expulsion of
all Palestinians: a terminator attitude of these neo-Nazis with kaftan, that in
spite of this new ‘road map’ is not vigilant in its efforts to seize the territory
is continuing.” 51
This discursive confluence, expression of the emergence, and consolidation
of a common political space (anti-globalization movement) have
delivered a new form of Judeophobia, giving form to what we might call
neo-Judeophobia.
The current situation between antisemitic groups gives reason to
assert, paraphrasing Marx and Engels, in view of the events in recent years,
that it seems as if “a ghost travels the world”—the Phantom of the Jew
phobia. Antisemites of the world, unite!
