This has been the case for decades, but since the recent escalation of violence from October 2023, the debate has erupted with new fervour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be foolish to suggest that we can do justice to this highly complex, ongoing conflict in a half-hour talk show. What we can do, however, is to inspect the underlying reasons why these discussions are so charged, and why they seem to go in circles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antisemitism and anti-Muslim racism form a double helix across European history and have been used as political tools to galvanize fragmented societies against a shared enemy. Today we take a look at one part: Antisemitism, and in our next episode we will deal with anti-Muslim racism.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"EnuRqbcART\"><p> &#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cba.media\/692042\">Standard Time talk show S2E09: Unmasking hate<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201eStandard Time talk show S2E09: Unmasking hate\u201c \u2013 cba - cultural broadcasting archive\" src=\"https:\/\/cba.media\/692042\/embed#?secret=WggzbqxoNY#?secret=EnuRqbcART\" data-secret=\"EnuRqbcART\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>You can also listen to the Standard Time talk show in a podcast format on the Cultural Broadcasting Archive \u2013 or wherever you get your podcasts.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>The origins of Antisemitism<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antisemitism has taken so many shapes and forms in the past two thousand years. It has transformed from the Christian propaganda of John Chrysostom, or John the Golden Mouth in the 4th century, through the fervent Antisemitism of the religious reformer Martin Luther, through the political, social and economic Antisemitism of the early modern times into the racial ideology of the XX. century. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The European history of Antisemitism is long and dark, and we recommend further reads below for more insight on the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of us were taught that after the unprecedented horrors of the Holocaust, Europe has vowed to \u201cnever again\u201d allow for such hate to build up that has led to this egregious industrialized genocide. Indeed, there have been great efforts to uproot this nasty prejudice, but it never disappeared entirely. And in recent years there is a significant rise in covert, dog whistle-style propaganda, and in outright hate rhetoric across the continent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The definition is itself a political problem<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ongoing conflict of Palestine and Israel has sparked yet another wave of Antisemitic as well as Anti-muslim racism which infect the debate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In 2002, the European Union together with the OSCE, attempted to formulate a joint definition of the word, later adopted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/holocaustremembrance.com\/resources\/working-definition-antisemitism\">International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance<\/a>, which reads: \u2018Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of Antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and\/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But does that mean that a criticism of Israel\u2019s for the aggression on Gaza is Antisemitic?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In IHRA\u2019s online resources on Antisemitism, one can read about the role of the Israeli state in the antisemitic ideology:\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manifestations [of Antisemitism] might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that levelled against any other country cannot be regarded as Antisemitic.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Criticizing the Israeli state\u2019s actions has become difficult to navigate, and it polarizes Europeans. How can one tell hate from criticism? Today\u2019s speakers offer some guidance, discussing where Antisemitism stands today and how it has transformed in the 21st century.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Guests<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Professor Helga Embacher<\/strong> is a historian at the University of Salzburg with a focus on National Socialism, Jewish history, Israel, and Antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Johann Kneihs<\/strong> has been working in journalism since 1980 for the past few years and is also active in the programming of two music festivals in Austria, Glatt&amp;Verkehrt and the newly created festival Jewish Weekends in St. P\u00f6lten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lidia Zessin-Jurek<\/strong> is an Assistant Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Stockton University.
