Antisemitism as Anti-Europeanism by Proxy
#Europe is simply dealing with its own #cultural issues by projecting them onto the current #conflict in the #Middle #East.

he conflict between #Israel and #Hamas following the latter’s 7 October 2023 terror attack has caused uproar and #reaction in Europe. #Antisemitism is clearly on the rise particularly among left-wing #progressives, while a strong pro-Israel force is defending the #Jewish state and fighting the recent surge of #antisemitism.

The conflict between Jews and #Muslims is indeed steeped in antisemitism; however, in Europe, this term is now used to hide a deeper culture war. On the one hand, it simply conceals a more fundamental #anti-Western cultural #revolution, and on the other it allows for a newfound national and European courage to mask itself as a progressive crusade against a new #Holocaust.

Thus, Israel, for each side, embodies either the confident West or the #colonial oppressor. Europe is simply dealing with its own cultural issues by projecting them on the current conflict in the Middle East. This makes for an unsustainable situation as it highlights the mental acrobatics still needed to simply stand up for European values.

  • @tness@venera.social I think antisemitism is largely an European problem, and that Zionism and antisemitism go hand in hand. Get rid of European antisemitism, you get rid of the raison d’etre of Zionism.
