Author Description

States that as long as the Islamic world denies the recognition of Israel there is no solution for present-day antisemitism. Claims that antisemitism is the most successful ideology in modern times; it survived fascism as well as communism. Antisemitism is like a virulent virus that can adapt, often causing severe damage as it takes time to be recognized as such. Today, antisemitism takes the form of religious anti-Zionism, and takes for granted that all Jews are Zionists. Arab political leaders announced in 1948 that their goal was total destruction of the Jewish state and of all the Jews. They express sadness that Hitler did not succeed in killing all the Jews, and see today's antisemitism as a continuation of the Nazi ideology. Many Arab publications have appeared with horror stories of Jewish atrocities. Zionism is seen as equal to terrorism, and the Holocaust as a Jewish lie. The fact that Israel won all the wars increased the Arab hatred. Schools and summer camps in many Arab countries teach children to admire suicide bombers. Children and youth are instructed how to carry out suicide missions; this, in contrast to Israel's teachings of methods for peaceful coexistence. Concludes that antisemitism is "the paradigm" of crimes against humanity; it started with the Jews but will not end with them, it will leave no room for other beings.
