Talk:New anti-Semitism/reorg

Consists of

 * Emanates from the Left rather than the Right;
 * the demonization and Nazification of Jews and the state of Israel an argument associated with British poet Tom Paulin and others;
 * applying double standards by requiring of Israel behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation;
 * denying the State of Israel's right to exist as an equal member of the world community, and denying Jews the right to self-determination;
 * using the symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism (e.g. claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis;
 * holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the State of Israel;
 * spreading or failing to condemn wild conspiracy theories involving Jews, Zionists, and Israelis seeking to take over the world or committing mass murder or genocide (for example 9/11, Jenin);
 * increased levels of Arab and Muslim anti-Semitism and the excusing of it;
 * denying the importance of the Holocaust; insisting that it should have no policy or political consequences;
 * engaging in straw-man attacks, wherein Jews are alleged to claim that any and all criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism, which is then used to condemn Jewish groups as unreasonable. According to Thomas Friedman, "[c]riticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic, and saying so is vile. But singling out Israel for opprobrium and international sanction &mdash; out of proportion to any other party in the Middle East &mdash; is anti-Semitic, and not saying so is dishonest."
 * a resurgence of anti-Semitic attacks worldwide, particularly in Europe; not since Kristallnacht in 1938 have so many European synagogues and Jewish schools been attacked.
