'''New antisemitism''' is the concept that a new form of ] has developed in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, emanating simultaneously from the ], ], and the ], and that it tends to manifest itself as ] and the ]. The concept generally posits that much of what is purported to be ] by various individuals and world bodies, is, in fact, tantamount to ], and that, together with an alleged international resurgence of attacks on ] and ], and an increased acceptance of antisemitic beliefs in public discourse, such demonization represents an evolution in the appearance of antisemitic beliefs.<ref>Manfred Gerstenfeld, .

=== 1960s: Origins === | |||
French philosopher ] has argued that the first wave of what he describes as "la nouvelle judéophobie" emerged in the Arab-Muslim world and the ] following the 1967 ], citing papers by Jacques Givet (1968) and historian ] (1969) in which the idea of a new antisemitism rooted in anti-Zionism was discussed.<ref>] cites the following early works on the new antisemitism: Jacques Givet, ''La Gauche contre Israel?

=== 1970s: Early debates === | |||
Writing in the ]' ''Congress Bi-Weekly'' in 1973, the ], ], identified ] as ‘the new anti-Semitism’, saying:<blockquote>"ecently we have witnessed the rise of the new left which identifies Israel with the establishment, with acquisition, with smug satisfaction, with, in fact, all the basic enemies … Let there be no mistake: the new left is the author and the progenitor of the new anti-Semitism. One of the chief tasks of any dialogue with the Gentile world is to prove that the distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is not a distinction at all. Anti-Zionism is merely the new anti-Semitism. The old classic anti-Semitism declared that equal rights belong to all individuals within the society, except the Jews. The new anti-Semitism says that the right to establish and maintain an independent national sovereign state is the prerogative of all nations, so long as they happen not to be Jewish. And when this right is exercised not by the Maldive Islands, not by the state of Gabon, not by Barbados… but by the oldest and most authentic of all nationhoods, then this is said to be exclusivism, particularism, and a flight of the Jewish people from its universal mission."<ref>''Congress Bi-weekly'', American Jewish Congress, Vol. 40, Issues 2-14, 1973, p. xxv</ref></blockquote> | |||
In 1974, Arnold Forster and Benjamin Epstein of the ] published a book entitled ''The New anti-Semitism'', expressing additional concern about what they described as new manifestations of antisemitism coming from radical left, radical right, and "pro-Arab" figures in the U.S.<ref>Forster, Arnold & Epstein, Benjamin, ''The New Anti-Semitism''.

].]] | |||
Historian ] addressed the issue in a 1984 lecture delivered in the home of ] ], in which he argued that a "new anti-Semitic anti-Zionism" was emerging, distinguishing features of which were the equation of Zionism with ] and the belief that Zionists had actively collaborated with Nazis during ]. He argued that such claims were prevalent in the Soviet Union, but added that similar rhetoric had been taken up by a part of the radical Left, particularly ] groups in Western Europe and America.<ref name=Wistrich1984>]. , lecture delivered to the Study Circle on World Jewry in the home of the ], December 10, 1984.</ref> | |||
When asked in 2014 if "anti-Zionism is the new anti-Semitism", ] stated: | |||
<blockquote>Actually, the locus classicus, the best formulation of this, was by an ambassador to the United Nations, ], ... He advised the American Jewish community that they had two tasks to perform. One task was to show that criticism of the policy, what he called anti-Zionism — that means actually criticisms of the policy of the state of Israel — were anti-Semitism. That’s the first task. Second task, if the criticism was made by Jews, their task was to show that it’s neurotic self-hatred, needs psychiatric treatment. Then he gave two examples of the latter category. One was ]. The other was me. So, we have to be treated for our psychiatric disorders, and non-Jews have to be condemned for anti-Semitism, if they’re critical of the state of Israel. That’s understandable why Israeli propaganda would take this position. I don’t particularly blame Abba Eban for doing what ambassadors are sometimes supposed to do. But we ought to understand that there is no sensible charge. No sensible charge. There’s nothing to respond to. It’s not a form of anti-Semitism. It’s simply criticism of the criminal actions of a state, period.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Chomsky|first1=Noam|title=TRANSCRIPT of Amy Goodman interview of Noam Chomsky|url=http://www.democracynow.org/2014/11/27/noam_chomsky_at_united_nations_it|accessdate=19 May 2016}}</ref> | |||

== Definitions and arguments for and against the concept== | |||
===A new phenomenon=== | |||
], Professor of Law at ] and a leading scholar of human rights, has identified nine aspects of what he considers to constitute the "new anti-Semitism":<ref>] cited ]. ''The Case For Israel''. ], 2003, p. 210-211.</ref> | |||
* '''Genocidal antisemitism''': Calling for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. | |||

* '''Holocaust denial''' | |||
* '''Anti-Jewish racist terrorism''' | |||
* '''International legal discrimination''' {{smaller|("Denial to Israel of equality before the law in the international arena")}} | |||
Cotler argues that classical antisemitism is discrimination against Jews as individuals whereas the new antisemitism, in contrast, "is anchored in discrimination against the Jews as a people{{spaced ndash}}and the embodiment of that expression in Israel. In each instance, the essence of anti-Semitism is the same{{spaced ndash}}an assault upon whatever is the core of Jewish self-definition at any moment in time." This discrimination is hard to measure, because the indices governments tend to use to detect discrimination{{spaced ndash}}such as ], housing, health and employment{{spaced ndash}}are useful only in measuring discrimination against individuals. Hence, Cotler writes, it is difficult to show that the concept is a valid one.<ref name="Cotler">]. , ''FrontPageMagazine.com'', February 16, 2004.</ref> | |||
Cotler defines "classical or traditional anti-Semitism" as "the discrimination against, denial of or assault upon the rights of Jews to live as equal members of whatever host society they inhabit" and "new anti-Semitism" as "discrimination against the right of the Jewish people to live as an equal member of the family of nations{{spaced ndash}}the denial of and assault upon the Jewish people's right even to live{{spaced ndash}}with Israel as the "collective Jew among the nations"."<ref name="Judenstaatrein">Irwin Cotler, , '']'', February 22, 2009.</ref> | |||
Cotler elaborated on this position in a June 2011 interview for Israeli television. He re-iterated his view that the world is "witnessing a new and escalating and even lethal anti-Semitism" focused on hatred of Israel, but cautioned that this type of antisemitism should not be defined in a way that precludes "free speech" and "rigorous debate" about Israel's activities. Cotler said that it is "too simplistic to say that ], ''per se'', is anti-Semitic" and argued that ], while in his view "distasteful", is "still within the boundaries of argument" and not inherently antisemitic. He continued: "It's you say, because it's an apartheid state, it has to be dismantled{{spaced ndash}}then crossed the line into a racist argument, or an anti-Jewish argument."<ref>], "Canadian MP Cotler: Calling Israel an apartheid state can be legitimate free speech"], ''Haaretz'', 1 July 2011. Accessed 7 July 2011.</ref> | |||
], former chair of history at ], writes that new antisemitism is a new phenomenon stemming from a coalition of "leftists, vociferously opposed to the policies of Israel, and right-wing antisemites, committed to the destruction of Israel, were joined by millions of ]s, including ], who immigrated to Europe... and who brought with them their hatred of Israel in particular and of Jews in general." It is this new political alignment, he argues, that makes new antisemitism unique.<ref name="Fischel">Fischel, Jack R. , ''The Virginia Quarterly Review'', Summer 2005, pp. 225–234.</ref> ] of '']'' links new antisemitism to ], describing it as "the medieval image of the ] resurrected on the editorial pages of cosmopolitan European newspapers."<ref name="strauss272">Strauss, Mark. in Rosenbaum, Ron (ed).

The French philosopher ] argues that antisemitism based on racism and ] has been replaced by a new form based on ] and ]. He identifies some of its main features as the identification of Zionism with racism; the use of material related to ] (such as doubts about the number of victims and allegations that there is a "]"); a discourse borrowed from ], ], ], ] and ]; and the dissemination of what he calls the "myth" of the "intrinsically good Palestinian{{spaced ndash}}the innocent victim ''par excellence''."<ref name=Taguieff67>Taguieff, Pierre-André.

In early 2009, 125 parliamentarians from various countries gathered in ] for the founding conference of a group called the "Interparliamentary Coalition for Combating Anti-Semitism" (ICCA). They suggest that while classical antisemitism "overlaps" modern antisemitism, it is a different phenomenon and a more dangerous one for Jews.<ref name="Judenstaatrein"/> | |||

] argues that the new prejudice is not antisemitism, new or old; nor a mutation of an existing virus, but "a brand new 'bug'."<ref name=KlugCatalyst>]. {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927143329/http://www.catalystmagazine.org.uk/Default.aspx.LocID-0hgnew0bv.RefLocID-0hg01b00100600f009.Lang-EN.htm |date=2007-09-27 }}, ], March 17, 2006.</ref>]] | |||
], senior research fellow in philosophy at ] — who gave expert testimony in February 2006 to a British parliamentary inquiry into antisemitism in the UK, and in November 2004 to the Hearing on Anti-Semitism at the German ] — argues against the idea that there is a "single, unified phenomenon" that could be called "new" antisemitism. He accepts that there is reason for the Jewish community to be concerned, but argues that any increase in antisemitic incidents is attributable to classical antisemitism. Proponents of the new antisemitism concept, he writes, see an organizing principle that allows them to formulate a new concept, but it is only in terms of this concept that many of the examples cited in evidence of it count as examples in the first place.<ref name=Klug>]. . '']'', February 2, 2004, accessed January 9, 2006</ref> That is, the creation of the concept may be based on a circular argument or ]. He argues that it is an unhelpful concept, because it devalues the term "antisemitism," leading to widespread cynicism about the use of it. People of goodwill who support the Palestinians resent being falsely accused of antisemitism.<ref name="KlugCatalyst"/> | |||
Klug defines classical antisemitism as "an ingrained European fantasy about Jews as Jews," arguing that whether Jews are seen as a ], ], or ], and whether antisemitism comes from the right or the left, the antisemite's image of the Jew is always as "a people set apart, not merely by their customs but by their collective character. They are arrogant, secretive, cunning, always looking to turn a profit. Loyal only to their own, wherever they go they form a state within a state, preying upon the societies in whose midst they dwell. Mysteriously powerful, their hidden hand controls the banks and the media. They will even drag governments into war if this suits their purposes. Such is the figure of 'the Jew,' transmitted from generation to generation."<ref name=KlugRedPepper>]. , ''Red Pepper'', November 24, 2005.</ref> | |||
{{rquote|left|''hen anti-Semitism is everywhere, it is nowhere. And when every anti-Zionist is an anti-Semite, we no longer know how to recognize the real thing—the concept of anti-Semitism loses its significance'' — ]<ref name=Klug/>}} | |||
He argues that, although it is true that the new antisemitism incorporates the idea that antisemitism is hostility to Jews as Jews, the source of the hostility has changed; therefore, to continue using the same expression for it — antisemitism — causes confusion. Today's hostility to Jews as Jews is based on the ], not on ancient European fantasies. Israel proclaims itself as the state of the Jewish people, and many Jews align themselves with Israel for that very reason. It is out of this alignment that the hostility to Jews as Jews arises, rather than hostility to Israelis or to Zionists. Klug agrees that it is a prejudice, because it is a generalization about individuals; nevertheless, he argues, it is "not rooted in the ideology of 'the Jew'," and is therefore a different phenomenon from antisemitism.<ref name=KlugCatalyst/> | |||
] argues that there has been no significant rise in antisemitism: "What does the evidence show? There has been good investigation done, serious investigation. All the evidence shows there's no evidence at all for a rise of a new anti-Semitism, whether in Europe or in North America. The evidence is zero. And, in fact, there's a new book put out by an Israel stalwart. His name is ], a very prominent scholar. It's called ''The Changing Face of Anti-Semitism''. It just came out, 2006, from ]. He looks at the evidence, and he says no. There's some in Europe among the Muslim community, there's some anti-Semitism, but the notion that in the heart of European society or North American society there's anti-Semitism is preposterous. And in fact — or no, a significant rise in anti-Semitism is preposterous."<ref>Goodman, Amy. , interview with Norman Finkelstein, August 29, 2006.</ref> | |||
===Criticism of Israel is not always antisemitism=== | |||
Earl Raab writes that "here is a new surge of antisemitism in the world, and much prejudice against Israel is driven by such antisemitism," but argues that charges of antisemitism based on anti-Israel opinions generally lack credibility. He writes that "a grave educational misdirection is imbedded in formulations suggesting that if we somehow get rid of antisemitism, we will get rid of anti-Israelism. This reduces the problems of prejudice against Israel to cartoon proportions." Raab describes prejudice against Israel as a "serious breach of morality and good sense," and argues that it is often a bridge to antisemitism, but distinguishes it from antisemitism as such.<ref>Raab, Earl. , ''Judaism'', Fall 2002.</ref> | |||
Steven Zipperstein, professor of Jewish Culture and History at ], argues that a belief in the State of Israel's responsibility for the Arab-Israeli conflict is considered "part of what a reasonably informed, progressive, decent person thinks." He argues that Jews have a tendency to see the State of Israel as a victim because they were very recently themselves "the quintessential victims."<ref name=zipperstein61>Zipperstein, Steven.

===A political ploy to stifle criticism of Israel=== | |||

''Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History'', University of California Press, 2005, p. 66.</ref> He argues that Israel's apologists have denied a causal relationship between Israeli policies and hostility toward Jews, since "if Israeli policies, and widespread Jewish support for them, evoke hostility toward Jews, it means that Israel and its Jewish supporters might themselves be causing anti-Semitism; and it might be doing so because Israel and its Jewish supporters are ''in the wrong''".<ref name=Finkelstein78>Finkelstein, Norman.

], a British-Pakistani historian and political activist, argues that the concept of new antisemitism amounts to an attempt to subvert the language in the interests of the State of Israel. He writes that the campaign against "the supposed new 'anti-semitism'" in modern Europe is a "cynical ploy on the part of the Israeli Government to seal off the Zionist state from any criticism of its regular and consistent brutality against the Palestinians.... Criticism of Israel can not and should not be equated with anti-semitism."

===A third wave=== | |||
] argues that the new antisemitism — what he calls "ideological antisemitism" — has mutated out of religious and racial antisemitism.]] | |||
Historian ] argues that the new antisemitism represents the third, or ideological, wave of antisemitism, the first two waves being ] and racial antisemitism.<ref name=LewisBrandeis>]. , ''The American Scholar'', Volume 75 No. 1, Winter 2006, pp. 25–36 The paper is based on a lecture delivered at ] on March 24, 2004.</ref> | |||
Lewis defines antisemitism as a special case of prejudice, hatred, or persecution directed against people who are in some way different from the rest. According to Lewis, antisemitism is marked by two distinct features: Jews are judged according to a standard different from that applied to others, and they are accused of cosmic evil. He writes that what he calls the first wave of antisemitism arose with the advent of ] because of the Jews' rejection of ] as ]. The second wave, racial antisemitism, emerged in Spain when large numbers of Jews were forcibly ], and doubts about the sincerity of the converts led to ideas about the importance of "''la limpieza de sangre''", purity of blood.<ref name=LewisBrandeis/> | |||
He associates the third wave with the ], and writes that it arose only in part because of the establishment of the State of Israel. Until the 19th century, ]s had regarded Jews with what Lewis calls "amused, tolerant superiority" — they were seen as physically weak, cowardly, and unmilitary — and although Jews living in Muslim countries were not treated as equals, they were shown a certain amount of respect. The Western form of antisemitism — what Lewis calls "the cosmic, ]ic version of Jew hatred" — arrived in the Middle East in several stages, beginning with ] in the 19th century, and continued to grow slowly into the 20th century, up to the establishment of the ]. He writes that it increased because of the humiliation of the Israeli military victories of ] and ].<ref name=LewisBrandeis/> | |||
Into this mix entered the ]. Lewis argues that the international public response and the United Nations' handling of the 1948 refugee situation convinced the Arab world that discrimination against Jews was acceptable. When the ancient Jewish community in ] was ], they were offered no help. Similarly, when Jewish refugees ], no help was offered, but elaborate arrangements were made for Arabs who fled or were driven out of the area that became Israel. All the Arab governments involved in the conflict announced that they would not admit Israelis of any religion into their territories, and that they would not give visas to Jews, no matter which country they were citizens of. Lewis argues that the failure of the United Nations to protest sent a clear message to the Arab world.<ref name=LewisBrandeis/> | |||
He writes that this third wave of antisemitism has in common with the first wave that Jews are able to be part of it. With religious antisemitism, Jews were able to distance themselves from Judaism, and Lewis writes that some even reached high rank within the church and the ]. With racial antisemitism, this was not possible, but with the new, ideological, antisemitism, Jews are once again able to join the critics. The new antisemitism also allows non-Jews, he argues, to criticize or attack Jews without feeling overshadowed by the crimes of the Nazis.<ref name=LewisBrandeis/> | |||

], Professor of Holocaust Studies at the ], considers the concept "new antisemitism" to be false, since it is in fact old antisemitism that remains latent and recurs whenever it is triggered.

===An inappropriate redefinition=== | |||
], writing in the Israeli newspaper '']'' in September 2008, argues that the concept of a "new antisemitism" has brought about "a revolutionary change in the discourse about anti-Semitism". He writes that most contemporary discussions concerning antisemitism have become focused on issues concerning Israel and Zionism, and that the equation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism has become for many a "new orthodoxy". He adds that this redefinition has often resulted in "Jews attacking other Jews for their alleged anti-Semitic anti-Zionism". While Lerman accepts that exposing alleged Jewish antisemitism is "legitimate in principle", he adds that the growing literature in this field "exceeds all reason"; the attacks are often vitriolic, and encompass views that are not inherently anti-Zionist. | |||
Lerman argues that this redefinition has had unfortunate repercussions. He writes that serious scholarly research into contemporary antisemitism has become "virtually non-existent", and that the subject is now most frequently studied and analyzed by "people lacking any serious expertise in the subject, whose principal aim is to excoriate Jewish critics of Israel and to promote the "anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism" equation.

He writes that what he calls the "backlash against globalization" has united a variety of political elements, from the left to the far-right, via a common cause, and that in so doing, it has "foster a common enemy." He quotes the French Jewish leader Roger Cukierman who identifies the ] as "an anti-Semitic brown-green-red alliance," which includes ultra-nationalists, the green movement, and communists.<ref name=Strauss/> | |||
Strauss cites ] of Austria's far-right ] and ] of France's ] as examples of the far right exploiting their electorate's concerns about globalization. The ''Movimento Fascismo e Liberta'' in Italy identifies globalization as an "instrument in the hands of international Zionism," according to Strauss, while in Eastern Europe, ultranationalists and communists have united against foreign investors and multinationals, identifying Jews as a common enemy.<ref name=Strauss/> | |||

In response to these criticisms, Strauss has written that antisemitic views "might not reflect the core values of the ] or its leading figures, yet they are facts of life in an amorphous, grassroots movement where any number of individuals or organizations express their opinions or seek to set the agenda".

In an interview with ''Le Monde'', Lévy said: "Mr. Ramadan, dear anti-globalizationist friends, is not and cannot be one of yours. ... I call you on you quickly to distance yourselves from this character who, in crediting the idea of an elitist conspiracy under the control of Zionism, is only inflaming people’s thoughts and opening the way to the worst."<ref name=Monnot>Monnot, Caroline & Ternisien, Xavier. Caroline Monnot and Xavier Ternisien. , ''Le Monde'', October 10, 2003.</ref> | |||
''Le Monde'' reported that many members of the anti-globalization movement in France agreed that Ramadan's article "has no place on a European Social Forum mailing list."<ref name=Monnot/> | |||
Other activists defended Ramadan. One activist told the newspaper that "ne of the characteristics of the European Social Forum is the stark rise in immigrant and Muslim organizations. It is an important phenomenon and a positive one in many ways."<ref name=Monnot/> Another activist, Peter Khalfa, said: "Ramadan’s essay is not anti-Semitic. It is dangerous to wave the red flag of anti-Semitism at any moment. However, it is a text marked partly by Ramadan’s communitarian thought and which communicates his view of the world to others."<ref name=Monnot/> One of the leaders of the anti-globalization movement in France, José Bové of the ''Confédération Paysanne'', told ''Le Monde'': "The anti-globalization movement defends universalist points of view which are therefore necessarily secular in their political expression. That there should be people of different cultures and religions is only natural. The whole effort is to escape such determinisms."<ref name=Monnot/> | |||
===Concern within the political left=== | |||
One of the protagonists of the anti-globalization movement, the Canadian writer and activist ], has written of her concern at finding antisemitic rhetoric on some activist websites that she had visited: "I couldn’t help thinking about all the recent events I’ve been to where ] violence was rightly condemned, but no mention was made of attacks on Jewish synagogues, cemeteries, and community centers."<ref name=Klein>]. , ''In These Times'', April 26, 2002.</ref> Klein urged activists to confront antisemitism as part of their work for social justice. She also suggested that allegations of antisemitism can be often politically motivated, and that activists should avoid political simplifications that could be perceived as antisemitic: | |||
<blockquote>The globalization movement isn't anti-Semitic, it just hasn't fully confronted the implications of diving into the ] conflict. Most people on the left are simply choosing sides. In the Middle East, where one side is under occupation and the other has the U.S. military behind it, the choice seems clear. But it is possible to criticize Israel while forcefully condemning the rise of anti-Semitism. And it is equally possible to be pro-Palestinian independence without adopting a simplistic pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel dichotomy, a mirror image of the good-versus-evil equations so beloved by President ].<ref name=Klein/> | |||
</blockquote> | |||
In October 2004, the '']'' magazine published a special issue covering the insertion of antisemitic rhetoric into some progressive debates.<ref name=internationalist>, ''New Internationalist'', October 2004.</ref> Adam Ma’anit wrote: | |||
<blockquote>Take Adbusters magazine’s founder Kalle Lasn’s recent editorial rant against Jewish neoconservatives....The article includes a self-selected ‘well-researched list’ of 50 of the supposedly most influential ‘neocons’ with little black dots next to all those who are Jewish....If it’s not the neocons then it’s the all-powerful ‘Jewish lobby’ which holds governments to ransom all over the world (because Jews control the global economy of course) to do their bidding. Meanwhile rightwing Judeophobes often talk of a leftist Jewish conspiracy to promote equality and human rights through a new internationalism embodied in the UN in order to control governments and suppress national sovereignty. They call it the ‘New World Order’ or the ‘Jew World Order’. They make similar lists to Lasn’s of prominent Jews in the global justice movement (Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, etc) to argue their case."<ref>Adam Ma’anit, </ref></blockquote> | |||
The issue observes, however, that "While antisemitism is rife in the Arab World, the Israeli Government often uses it as moral justification for its policies."<ref>Asma Agbarieh, ''New Internationalist'', October 2004, #372.</ref> | |||
