Anti-Semitism

The misnomer “Anti-Semitism” is used here merely for ease of communication. In fact, we are talking about anti-Judaism, because – ethnically speaking – Semites comprises all Arabs, yet only a minority of all Jews. We list here contributions dealing with actual hostility against Jews, along with contributions dealing with the political use and abuse of false or exaggerated claims of anti-Judaism.

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1983, 238pp, $14.95, ISBN 0-671-45270-3. “Jews have suffered, and Christians have suffered. Mankind has suffered.

  • Karl Marx: Anti-Semite

    Karl Marx was not only Jewish, he was descended from an established rabbinical family. His father had abandoned the practice of Judaism in order to function more freely in and with the newly established Prussian state, and in order to attract more clients to his law practice. Biographers do agree that age-old Jewish traditions continued…

  • A Legacy of Hate

    A Legacy of Hate: Anti-Semitism in America, by Ernest Volknian, Franklin Watts, 358pp, $16.95, ISBN 0-531-09863X “Some people go around smelling after anti-Semitism all the time,” wrote George Orwell in a letter to a friend. Orwell then opined that, “More rubbish is written about this subject than any other I can think of.” Ernest Volkman…

  • Outlaw History #4

    I should have noted in the last issue of this NL that I would be out of town for a week or so and that this issue would be late. I have not yet fully integrated this NL into my routine, if what I have can be called a routine. My escape from Baja was…

  • Outlaw History #5

    I received a number of letters regarding my reaction to a friend telling me that he believes all Jews should be murdered. This one from Joe Bishop is the most focused and unrelenting of the lot. “Hello Bradley, I read your latest newsletter (#4) and would like to make a couple of comments. Actually this…

  • Why Anti-Semitism?

    The Fatal Embrace: Jews and the State by Benjamin Ginsberg, University of Chicago Press, 1993. This well-written, highly instructive but somewhat flawed revisionist study of Jewish political, cultural and economic clout in the U.S., Europe, Russia and the Middle East should be read and reread by Instaurationists. Breaking ranks with politically correct historiography, Professor Benjamin…

  • The Good, the Bad, and the Anti-Semitic

    The dreary—I was going to say dread—”anti-Semite” nametag is almost routinely attached to anyone openly doubting or outrightly questioning the tabloid version of the Holocaust story, however justified and well-meaning his intent. Recall, for example, the opprobrium heaped on the Princeton historian Arno Mayer, notwithstanding his Jewish ancestry, for his mild flirtation with revisionist themes…

  • The Anatomy of a Hoax

    Often, a bogus charge of anti-Semitism (or racism) is made because of values or opinions or beliefs expressed in a public forum. Consider the case of one Thomas Speers of Waterbury, CT, whose expression of free speech, ironically, landed him in court at the behest of the the radio talk show host whose program Speers…
