Jews were always fractious and quarrelsome, but when it came to anti-Semitism, everybody agreed. Anti-Semites hated us without distinction, so in the face\u00a0of a common threat, we would recognize the danger and unite.\u201d Spokoiny is nostalgic, he wants to see the Jews\u00a0reunited\u00a0into a fist of resistance against anti-Semitism.<\/h5>\n<h5>In the eyes of\u00a0Spokoiny, the\u00a0three types of contemporary\u00a0anti-Semitism,\u00a0be it Left, Right\u00a0or Islamic\u00a0(\u201cwhich is not only fascistic but outright genocidal,\u201d according to Spokoiny) are in fact one by nature: \u201cthere\u2019s just one type of anti-Semitism that simply dresses its ugly persona in different ideological garments.\u201d So it isn\u2019t just the Jews that should be\u00a0reunited; the\u00a0Goyim, or shall we say the rest\u00a0humanity, aren\u2019t\u00a0diverse either, their\u00a0oppositions to Jewish politics, Israel or Zionism are only\u00a0a matter of\u00a0\u201cdifferent ideological garments.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>In\u00a0Spokoiny\u2019s universe, the Jews are hated for being Jews. It is not that some oppose Israel for\u00a0being racist, expansionist and genocidal. It is not because some may be\u00a0upset that the\u00a0Israeli Lobby dominates Western foreign affairs in the open. It is not because American and British boys and girls are sent to fight and die in Zio-con wars,\u00a0it is\u00a0not because some have noticed that it was a bunch of prominent Jewish\u00a0intellectuals\u00a0who have managed to reshape the Western ethos by\u00a0means of so-called progressive ideologies. It is not because the media seems to be biased in favour of a criminal\u00a0state, which\u00a0happens to be a Jewish one. In Spokoiny, reasoning and\u00a0self-reflection\u00a0are pushed aside. In his universe some just hate Jews blindly,\u00a0irrationally and for no reason.<\/h5>\n<h5>But Spokoiny may as well be right. There is a common element in\u00a0the Left-wing, Right-wing, Christian and Islamic opposition to Jewish politics, culture and ideology: opposition to choseness is how Bernard\u00a0Lazare described it in his\u00a01894\u00a0Zionist text\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/reference\/archive\/lazare-bernard\/1894\/antisemitism\/ch01.htm\">Antisemitism: Its History and Causes<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0There is a shared\u00a0common ground that unites all those so-called \u2018anti-Semites.\u2019 The alleged \u2018enemies of the Jews\u2019 are people who\u00a0want the Jewish\u00a0past to be subject to scrutiny\u00a0like all other historical chapters, Israeli barbarism to be curtailed, Wall Street to be restricted, Palestine to be free.\u00a0They want globalisation\u00a0to be halted, immoral interventionism to die out. The so-called\u00a0\u2018anti-Semites\u2019\u00a0actually follow the Zionist promise, they\u00a0want Jews to finally assimilate and become \u2018people like all other people.\u2019 The so-called \u2018enemies of the Jews\u2019 are upholding the most enlightened rational universalist ethical positions. They treat Jews as ordinary people and expect their state and institutions to subscribe to ethical standards.<\/h5>\n<h5>Spokoiny hates Alain Soral, the French intellectual\u00a0who was sentenced this week to one year in prison by a French court for \u201cnegationisme\u201d\u00a0(history revisionism).<\/h5>\n<h5>In the eyes of French Jewish institutes and\u00a0Spokoiny, Soral\u00a0is the ultimate enemy. He has managed to present a unifying message that appeals\u00a0to the Left, the Right and Muslim\u00a0immigrants. Soral calls for a universal reconciliation,\u00a0between them all under\u00a0a French nationalist egalitarian ethos. The French Jewish institutions see Soral\u2019s call as a vile anti-Semitic message as it doesn\u2019t seem to accommodate Jewish exceptionalism. However, some Jews have joined\u00a0Soral\u2019s movement. But they clearly\u00a0demoted themselves to French\u00a0patriots. They left chosenism behind, they see themselves primarily as French.<\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cWe in the Jewish community need to believe him (Soral).\u201d Spokoiny writes, \u201cWe need to stop participating in the divide-and-conquer game of those who hate us.\u201d In other words, Spokoiny wants to see Jews\u00a0as one\u00a0monolithic\u00a0identity. One that sticks together and exercises its power. If Spokoiny or anyone else\u00a0thinks\u00a0that such politics may eradicate\u00a0anti-Semitism, he or she must be either na\u00efve or just stupid \u00a0 . What Jews need to do is\u00a0to self-reflect, to ask themselves\u00a0why anti-Semitism is rising again. Jews must identify their own role in this emerging reality. Rather than constantly blaming their so called \u2018haters,\u2019 Jews may want to repeat the early Zionist exercise and ask what is exactly in Jewish culture, identity and\u00a0politics that makes Jewish history into a chain of disasters.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>My battle for truth and freedom involves some expensive legal services.
