Old-Fashioned Jew Hatred Is Back

As the violence between Israel and Hamas escalates, anti-Semitism fills Internet boards and in some cases, it spills out on the streets

Written by Alex Van Ness | Sunday, August 17, 2014

It is one thing to support a State for the Palestinian people. It is another to use vitriolic hate speech to delegitimize Israel and the Jews who live there. This hatred is clearly not directed solely towards Israel, as the angry attacks are indiscriminately perpetrated against world Jewry. In the information age, anti-Semitism is able to spread farther and faster than ever before.

 

As the violence between Israel and Hamas escalates, anti-Semitism fills Internet boards and in some cases, it spills out on the streets. Animosity towards Israel is bringing out anti-Semitism on levels not seen since Nazi Germany.

A recent Palestinian poll from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy has shown that an overwhelming majority of Palestinians want to eliminate the State of Israel. By routinely portraying Israel as an angry, evil, colonialist entity without a moral compass, Palestinians and their supporters have chosen to seek Israel’s total destruction by delegitimizing the Jewish state and the Jews who live there. A commonly proposed “two-state solution” is not serious when advocating Israel’s total destruction.

By utilizing various Pallywood propagandatechniques, Palestinians have routinely wooed world opinions against Israel, and then channeled the anger from perceived injustices to alienate the Jewish state. But, is this merely about Israel or is it just good old-fashioned Jew hatred? A recent Anti-Definition League survey found that anti-Semitic attitudes are persistent and pervasive around the world.

Recently in France, two synagogues were surrounded by an angry pro-Palestinian mob chanting “Death to the Jews.” Anti-Semitic attacks have been reported throughout Paris including beatings, stabbings, and a firebomb being hurled at a synagogue.

In Germany, thousands of activists marched into downtown Frankfurt to scream about Israel’s actions against Gaza while holding signs reading, “You Jews Are Beasts.”

Rabbi Moshe Ohayon of the Jewish community in Casablanca, Morocco was brutally attacked while walking to synagogue. Why? Because he’s Jewish.
