The Deep Roots of Anti-Semitism in European Society
(Jewish Political Studies Review) Manfred Gerstenfeld - The resurgence of European anti-Semitism after the Holocaust suggests that it has deep roots in society. New European anti-Semitism often originates from a young age, which indicates that it is an anti-Semitism of the future rather than of the past. Through its discriminatory declarations and votes in international bodies, the European Union acts as an arsonist, fanning the flames of anti-Semitism in its anti-Israel disguise. Simultaneously, it serves as fireman, trying to quench the flames of classic religious and ethnic anti-Semitism. France is paradigmatic of this approach.
