ANTI-SEMITISM AND ANTI-ISRAELISM

Anti-Israelism and Anti-Semitism: Common Characteristics and Motifs - Manfred Gerstenfeld
The three main permutations of anti-Semitism are religious anti-Semitism, ethnic (racist) anti-Semitism, and anti-Israelism or anti-Zionism. Their common characteristics include an ongoing, powerful promotion of a discourse of Jew-hatred, where the main motif of the Jew constituting absolute evil manifests itself. Jews and nowadays Israel are judged by standards applied to them but not to others. In its extreme form, the anti-Semitic process has three stages: demonization, isolation, and elimination. The anti-Semitic character of anti-Israelism can be proven through the analysis of cartoons, opinion surveys, statistical analyses, and semantics. (Jewish Political Studies Review)
