Antisemitism as Anti-Europeanism by Proxy
#Europe is simply dealing with its own #cultural issues by projecting them onto the current #conflict in the #Middle #East.
he conflict between #Israel and #Hamas following the latter’s 7 October 2023 terror attack has caused uproar and #reaction in Europe. #Antisemitism is clearly on the rise particularly among left-wing #progressives, while a strong pro-Israel force is defending the #Jewish state and fighting the recent surge of #antisemitism.
The conflict between Jews and #Muslims is indeed steeped in antisemitism; however, in Europe, this term is now used to hide a deeper culture war. On the one hand, it simply conceals a more fundamental #anti-Western cultural #revolution, and on the other it allows for a newfound national and European courage to mask itself as a progressive crusade against a new #Holocaust.
Thus, Israel, for each side, embodies either the confident West or the #colonial oppressor. Europe is simply dealing with its own cultural issues by projecting them on the current conflict in the Middle East. This makes for an unsustainable situation as it highlights the mental acrobatics still needed to simply stand up for European values.

Bullshit. The antimuslim acts have arosen by 600% in some UE countries. That’s the reality. Specially in France.
Don’t mixup antisemitism and antisionism

Really Christian European affinity for Israel and Zionism is based on antisemitism. They don’t see us as equal citizens and like an ideology that has us moving away from our homes to Palestine. These are the European “values” that led to pograms and the Holocaust.
@tness@venera.social I’m sorry, but by “European Values”, do you mean these?
@argumento@hispagatos.space I am only sharing the article and it is interesting reflection. For me, European values are based on the multicultural.
@tness@venera.social
Where I’m at, when the Europeans came, they decimated our population, put those who survived either on chains or at their service, robed all the gold and silver, taught us for centuries to hate ourselves over being brown, and imposed their beauty and cultural standards as superior, and when we finally thought we kicked them out, they remained the owners of everything via capitalism and imperialism. So I really wouldn’t know about this “multicultural Europe” of yours.
@argumento@hispagatos.space multicultural Europe is about current European union. I know in history a lot of horrible things have happened. The context of the article that I have shared analyzes the present. what do you think about anti-Semitism, is it really that the policy of the European Union is using it in its favor?
@tness@venera.social I think antisemitism is largely an European problem, and that Zionism and antisemitism go hand in hand. Get rid of European antisemitism, you get rid of the raison d’etre of Zionism.
@argumento@hispagatos.space According to the article anti-Semitism is necessary for the economic interest of the EU
It was not the EU that pushed Hamas to attack Isreal. the EU she found herself like everyone else in front of an unforeseen situation
@tness@venera.social @palestine@a.gup.pe By covering up the occupation of Palestine by not putting human rights and international humanitarian law central in their trade dealings with Israel and by giving Palestinians aid instead of supporting them getting their rights the EU definitely contributed to the attack of Hamas. An occupied people have the right to resist, also with arms.
International law, international humanitarian law and human rights are clear. The EU sees it clearly when Russia breaks them and has been looking the other way when Israel does the same as Russia, for a long, long time. Probably, the weapons and trade deals are more important than those “European values.” In that sense, the EU did push Hamas to attack. As Hamas is responsible for its own actions, so is the Israeli government and army and everybody living there on stolen land and in stolen houses.
