In a recent tweet Jean-Michel Aphatie found it funny to indicate that Cyril Hanouna was “ visibly on the verge of gas “. About the level of Durafour crematory “. Let us imagine for a moment that Mr. Bardella had allowed this kind of slippage, the indignation would have been unanimous.
In reality today we are faced with a new anti-Semitism which has nothing to do with the old stale anti-Semitism of the 1930s. It is based on three pillars: hostility towards Jews in a large part of the Muslim world, the resurgence of left-wing anti-Semitism, Wokism.
In Europe this new uninhibited anti-Semitism, which does not hesitate to resort to violence as we have just seen in Amsterdam, finds fertile ground in a part of the Arab-Muslim populations which imports the conflict between Israel, Hamas and the Hezbollah on our continent. And which feeds on the invectives against Jews (and Christians) contained in the Koran. The large presence of these populations ends up hindering the freedom of action of certain European governments. Everyone remembers Emmanuel Macron's refusal to participate in the march against anti-Semitism after October 7. This reluctance to name things is a sign of the ugly fear of some of our leaders at the possible reactions of our own “Arab street”. Fertile ground and electoral ground for some.
Anti-Semitism: the return to the source
A part of the left has returned to anti-Semitism which was first the prerogative of the left in the 19th centuryth century. No anti-Semitism at the court of Louis-Philippe, any more than at that of Napoleon III, but on the contrary virulent anti-Semitism among left-wing ideologues who denounced the power of Jewish capitalism. Proudhon did not hesitate to affirm: “lThe Jew is by temperament anti-producer… he is a matchmaker, always fraudulent and parasitic “. Marx was not left out because he considered that the Jews had “ took the lead of the counter-revolution » (Rhenish Gazette1848) and that “ the god of the Jew (money) is only an illusory draft “. Ultimately we are witnessing a sort of return to basics, undoubtedly more opportunistic than ideological. There is, in fact, an electoral windfall to be recovered, and moreover in a demographically fertile population which could represent a significant electoral force in the future. Who knows, opening the door to power? In submission, because the famous and vague “values of the Republic” will have little weight compared to those of conquering Islam.
The old moon of the fight between oppressed and oppressors
Finally, Wokism, which has made the “decolonial” struggle an axis of its militant action, sees in Israel a continuation of Western colonialism, which must be eradicated. In this ideological tinkering, the Palestinians play the role of colonized and oppressed populations and the Israelis play the role of hated Western settlers. This is how a part of the leftist petty bourgeoisie who hate their history and their civilization, and ultimately hate themselves, have made the pro-Palestinian, and especially anti-Semitic, fight a hobby horse. It is the return to the old moon of the fight between the oppressed and the oppressors which would be the driving force of History, the class struggle revisited in woke sauce, in truth very indigestible but which does not put off young, stuffed petty bourgeoisie.
This infamous cocktail produces uninhibited anti-Semitism which encourages, even justifies violence against Jews. The far left accepts it quietly, like part of the media caste, and struggles to recognize the terrorist character of Hezbollah or Hamas and seems to find excusable the attack of October 7 or the taking of hostages, usual practice of the occupiers Nazis.
The situation in the Holy Land is extremely complicated and the development of Jewish settlements in the West Bank has only made the resolution of the Palestinian question more complex. But let us recall that UN resolution 181 of November 29, 1947, provided for the creation of a Jewish state, an Arab state and a “corpus separatum” for Jerusalem, placed under administration. international. It was the immediate attack by the Arab States which made this reasonable proposition impossible in principle and led, after constantly renewed conflicts, to the situation we know.
It is open to everyone to challenge Israel's policy, but it is indecent to slip into the most open anti-Semitism. Israel is waging war and it is its survival that is at stake. It is distressing to note that activist journalists and left-wing politicians have no hesitation in resuming the most uninhibited anti-Semitism. With the consequences that we know or see in Amsterdam as in France.
