(Jewish Group) Relegitimizing Antisemitism on the Right and the Left

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

More than 70 years after the murder of six million Jews in the Shoah, we are witnessing a variety of efforts to legitimize antisemitism once again.

The latest reminder of this came from the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohammed, an open antisemite, who said recently: “Anti-Semitism is a term that is invented to prevent people from criticizing the Jews for doing wrong things.”

Other manifestations of this appear on both the right and the left.

The task for all of us is first to identify the reality and danger of these fantasies. There is no reason to be complacent about the threat of antisemitism in today’s world, as groups both on the right and the left try to re-legitimize the oldest hatred.

We need voices on both the left and the right to remind one and all of what unfettered antisemitism led to in the 1930s and ’40s. If “Never Again” is to have true meaning, we must stop these efforts now, before the danger moves from the theoretical to the real.
