THE RESURGENCE OF ANTI-SEMITISM

The Resurgence of Anti-Semitism: No Hatred So Common - Russell Working (Chicago Tribune)
Matthias Kuentzel, a German scholar who has traced the influence of Adolf Hitler in the Muslim world, says Judeophobia is at its worst level since the Nazi era. The Middle East conflicts fuel anger at Israel, but this is more than just frustrated people blowing off steam. It is a demonology that encompasses all Jews, wherever they live or whatever their stand on Israel. Editorial cartoons across the Middle East and Europe portray Israelis as ogres who devour babies, drawing on medieval and Nazi imagery.
