Support Israel - Now More Than Ever: Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

I can honestly say that I have almost no idea who Perez Hilton is other than that I believe that he is some sort of personality who traffics in gossip about celebrities. But when even he asks about the recent prevalence of antisemitic outbursts, that is an indication of the seriousness of the situation. What's Up With This Wave Of Anti-Semitism Lately?? | PerezHilton.com

In my opinion, if anyone thinks that after World War II and the founding of the modern State of Israel that antisemitism is a thing of the past, they are sadly mistaken. Antisemitism is a disease that has been with us for a very long time, and it shows no sign of going away any time son - if anything, it is morphing into more sophisticated and virulent forms - such as the annual pack of lies known as "Israel Apartheid Week" - but more on that in a later edition.

Where does antisemitism come from? Well, this story certainly gives a clue to one major cause - Simon Wiesenthal Center Lauds Pope Benedict XVI’s Absolving Jewish Collective Guilt for the Death of Jesus | Simon Wiesenthal Center - I mean, if one preaches a message of hatred for a couple of thousand years, some people might start to believe it......

So, with all that in mind - here are a number of links on the disgraceful subject of antisemitism - broken apart by "topic":

But see:

And by the way, one of the sure ways to know that a person is antisemitic is after they make a terrible antisemitic statement, observe the virulence with which they deny that they are antisemitic and try to find some way to squirm and wiggle out of what they said - see, for example, the pathetic case of the late David Ahenakew - after saying this - on tape -

"But ah, the Germans used to tell me, and I got to know them well because I played soccer against them and with them and so forth. But they used to tell me that you guys are blessed. What we know about the Indians in Canada. They are blessed. But that blessing is being destroyed by the, by your immigrants that are going over there. Especially the Jews, they say, you know. The Second World War was created by the Jews and the Third World War, whatever it is, right now that war ... that wages on Israel in the Arab countries. I was there too. But there’s gonna be a war because the Israelis and the “Bushies”, you know, the bully, the bully, the ah the bigot and so forth in the United States that tells you that if you’re not with me you are against me.
After his speech, he reiterated his remarks to a reporter, saying:
The Jews damn near owned all of Germany prior to the war. ... That's how Hitler came in. He was going to make damn sure that the Jews didn't take over Germany or Europe. That's why he fried six million of those guys, you know. Jews would have owned the goddamned world. And look what they're doing. They're killing people in Arab countries.
and:
How do you get rid of a disease like that, that's going to take over, that's going to dominate?

he then said this:

"At his second trial on hate charges he testified that he doesn't hate Jews but still believes they caused the Second World War.
"Everybody says I'm a Jew-hater," he told court. "I don't hate the Jews, but I hate what they do to people." (my emphasis)

Here are some videos on the subject - the interview with Anthony Julius is obviously very long, but you may want to pick away at it in pieces - Julius is a distinguished barrister in the UK who, among other things, acted on a pro bono basis for Deborah Lipstadt when she defended herself from libel accusations leveled at her by Holocaust-denier David Irving, and he also represented Lady Diana in her divorce from Prince Charles. The second video makes the point in Andrew Klavan's inimitable manner. The third video doesn't really add much except to show that the topic has made the late night talk show agenda - though I thought that the conversation was rather "dopey".
