Why Anti-Semitism Is Moving toward the Mainstream
(Stonegate Institute) Alan M. Dershowitz - For the first time since the end of World War II, classic anti-Semitic tropes - "the Jews" control the world and are to blame for everything that goes wrong, including the financial crisis - are becoming acceptable and legitimate subjects for academic and political discussion. A book that included all the classic anti-Semitic tropes entitled The Wandering Who, written by Gilad Atzmon, says we must take "very seriously" the claim that "the Jewish people are trying to control the world." He calls the recent credit crunch "the Zio punch." What is remarkable about the publication of this hateful piece is that it was enthusiastically endorsed by two prominent American professors, John Mearsheimer and Richard Falk, who urged readers to "reflect upon" and "discuss widely" the themes of Atzmon's book.
