Anti Zionism is the new anti Semitism, says Britain's ex Chief Rabbi.

On March 27, speaking to the Sunday Times, former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams expressed his concern at rising levels of anti-Semitism on British university campuses. There are, he said, “worrying echoes” of Germany in the 1930s. Two days later, in The Times, Chris Bryant, the Shadow Leader of the House of Commons and a senior member of the British Labour party, warned that the political left was increasingly questioning the right of the state of Israel to exist, a view he called a “not too subtle form of anti-Semitism.”

Across Europe, Jews are leaving. A survey in 2013 by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights showed that almost a third of Europe’s Jews have considered emigrating because of anti-Semitism, with numbers as high as 46 percent in France and 48 percent in Hungary.

Anti-semitism is a virus that survives by mutating. In the Middle Ages, Jews were hated because of their religion. In the 19th and 20th centuries they were hated because of their race. Today they are hated because of their nation state, Israel. Anti-Zionism is the new anti-Semitism.

The legitimization has also changed. Throughout history, when people have sought to justify anti-Semitism, they have done so by recourse to the highest source of authority available within the culture. In the Middle Ages, it was religion. In post-Enlightenment Europe it was science. Today it is human rights. It is why Israel—the only fully functioning democracy in the Middle East with a free press and independent judiciary—is regularly accused of the five crimes against human rights: racism, apartheid, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing and attempted genocide. This is the blood libel of our time.

Anti-Semitism is a classic example of what anthropologist René Girard sees as the primal form of human violence: scapegoating. When bad things happen to a group, its members can ask two different questions: “What did we do wrong?” or “Who did this to us?” The entire fate of the group will depend on which it chooses.

The Israelis want special rules that apply only to them which will make any criticism of their ruling millions of people held in outdoor prisons illegal. They never consider what they are doing is barbaric and that any other country that did this would be considered a pariah.

The war criminals are the Arab terrorists.

The Jews have won their homeland fair and square.

Islamofascism will never change that even if it tries for the next five centuries.

The Jews colonized Palestine with the help of the British. They did not win anything on their own.

You are the inheritors of the Nazis; you are the war criminals.

That is never going to change.

The Israeli militias beat the crap out of the British-trained and equipped Arab Legion.

Yup, the Israels won it, you all lost it and ran away. That history of cowardly behavior on the Arabs' part will never change.

He is right, of course.

It is very difficult for me to understand the warped mindset of so many political leaders in the West, the U.N., much of the mainstream media, and liberal elitists especially in universities who continue to vilify Israel and lie about Israel and ignore the attacks and persecution this nation has endured for 100 years and then to make excuses for the lies and violence of their Arab neighbors.

We are not stupid, so do not think for a moment you are fooling honest people who know how to comprehend the truth.

No one has to agree with me, but I believe the devil has more power and influence over people than almost anyone believes or is willing to admit.

By the way I am an American Christian and U.S. Army combat vet. I have never run away, punk.

The Arab Legion beat the crap out of the Jewish Irgun and Hanagah Terrorists and conquered the heavily defended Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem:

"At Latrun, the Legion blockaded the Jerusalem highway. Legion troops, aided by Marmon-Harrington armoured cars, conquered the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem (the Jewish Quarter within the Old City of Jerusalem i.e. inside the walls of the Old City) but escorted the Jews who lived there to safety in May 28, 1948. The Legion also secured the West Bank for Transjordan."

Then we have much in common, brother Christian vet. The arab legion were force to bunker up on two hills after they got their asses handed to them once they were out of Jerusalem.

Why do you have Jews?

I doubt if he has any Jews as housemates.

You meant hate Jews I would assume?

And then of course they will tell us " I do not hate Jews, I hate zionism." And we will roll our eyes because it is a bunch of B.S., and it is like the article in this thread alluded to --- i.e., this phony "zionism" they hide behind is nothing more than a cover for their anti-Semitism.

It's irrational. And all covered by the article.

Chomsky explained quite well why anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. Believing that it was wrong for Europeans to colonize Palestine and dispossess the native people is not antisemitism.

You mean the inconvenient basic fact. European Zionists colonized Palestine and dispossessed the native people.

You're on the wrong thread.
