Views on anti-semitism
In an interview with Yad Vashem:
- History Professor Andre Kaspi (Sorbonne , Paris) explains whythis wave differs from past ones by stressing its unique characteristics: "First, it docs not resemble the widespread antisemitism that conquered France in the I930s, as it is not fueled by the extreme right. Second, the current phenomenon is connected to events in the Middle East, indicating an entirely different dimension. And third, only a small fraction of France's population participates in these events; most of the French denounce antisemitism and protest against it....
- Professor Kaspi adds that "it ~ almost impossible to teach the Holocaust in schools where most students are second gcneration North-African immigrants. There is a total rejection of all historical fucts that, allegedly, support the enemy's side."...
- "The boundary between antisemitism, anti - Zionism and anti- Israel sentiments is blurred,n notes Professor Kaspi . "The extreme left, or the 'Greens,' fuses criticismon American imperialism, Israeli policy, and slogans against globalization. Ariel Sharon is demonized and the Israeli public's support for him is misunderstood. In the end, French Jell. who identifY lvith Israel become rl,e ones responsible for Middle East events."[2]
