The scenes of carnage in Israel are not accidental, but illustrate the bloody survival of anti-Semitism. In Gaza, as in theocratic Iran, anti-Semitism is an ideology around which an entire hate speech is organized: as National Socialism, Islamo-fascism preaches final decision as a way to eliminate the Jewish people. The attack these days is the latest and most horrific sign of this reality.

More than half a century after the Holocaust, the condemnation of Jews as an enemy to be destroyed is considered the state policy of terrorist organizations and regimes outside the international order. The new war in Gaza must be seen in this context of the continuity of hatred: the elimination of the State of Israel is synonymous with the elimination of an entire nation. Justifying Palestinian barbarism becomes a form of complicity in murder.

About hatred

The attack in Gaza, which should be linked to the global dynamics defined by the alliance between Russia and Iran, has as its strategic goal the opening of a front that acts as a parallel to the front in Ukraine. For Putin and the theocrats in Tehran, the aggression of Hamas is a tool aimed at increasing international instability. An equally important goal is to sabotage attempts at diplomatic rapprochement between Israel and Saudi Arabia. A landscape marked by crime and terror is one in which this Russian-Iranian axis understands how to operate as a normal environment.

Like the USSR, the Russian Federation is a generous sponsor of movements that attack the imperialist bloc: there is nothing surprising about this approach by Moscow, despite the official hypocrisy. As far as Tehran is concerned, the Iranian state has no other reason to exist than to spread anti-Semitic hatred. From the nuclear program to diplomacy – everything is subordinated to this goal, which is connected with the Islamic-fascist monomania, revived after the collapse of the old political order.

The attack in Gaza dramatically revealed the extent of anti-Semitic sentiment. Social networks almost instantly became incubators of hatred. The incitement to murder was dressed up in the humanitarian guise of vindicating the right to the defense of the Palestinian people. Appeals to the memory of the Holocaust returned to the posts of those who praised barbarism and raged at the sight of Israeli victims. Old and new anti-Semitism have come together in this pernicious river of hatred.

And while the radical right remains true to its Nazi roots, never abandoning them, the radical left returns to the sources of its decades-long struggle. Because for the Western revolutionary left, the Palestinian cause, now served by Hamas, is a banner that will never be abandoned. The anti-Semitism of the radical left, clumsily disguised as anti-Zionism, is multifaceted and unrepentant. The memory of Palestinian terrorism is part of the memory of the revolutionary left. Relations between urban guerrilla groups in the West and Palestinian militias were generously supported by the Soviet Union.

And today, as Hamas moves toward its own final solution, the radical left is turning against Israel, which it describes as an oppressive and colonial state. The legacy of rhetoric is obvious: their predecessors from the sixties and seventies professed the same credo, with the same rhetorical fervor. Islamofascism is perceived as an ally in the anti-imperialist struggle. – Read the entire article and comment on Contributors.ro
