Antissemitismo
Antissemitismo é a hostilidade, preconceito ou discriminação contra judeus. Uma pessoa que mantém tais posições é chamada de antissemita. O antissemitismo é geralmente considerado uma forma de racismo.
- O antissemitismo político se desenvolveu porque os judeus eram um corpo separado, enquanto a discriminação social surgiu devido à crescente igualdade dos judeus com todos os outros grupos.
- - Political antisemitism developed because the Jews were a separate body, while social discrimination arose because of the growing equality of Jews with all other groups.
- - Hannah Arendt, As Origens do Totalitarismo, Cap. 3.
- - Political antisemitism developed because the Jews were a separate body, while social discrimination arose because of the growing equality of Jews with all other groups.
- Mencionei há algum tempo algumas observações de antissemitas, todas elas absurdas: "Odeio os judeus porque eles tornam os servos insubordinados, porque um peleiro judeu me roubou, etc." Nunca acredite que os antissemitas não têm consciência do absurdo de suas respostas. Eles sabem que suas observações são frívolas, abertas a desafios. Mas eles estão se divertindo, pois é seu adversário que é obrigado a usar as palavras com responsabilidade, pois ele acredita nas palavras. Os antissemitas têm o direito de brincar. Eles até gostam de brincar com o discurso, pois, ao dar razões ridículas, desacreditam a seriedade de seus interlocutores. Eles se deleitam em agir de má-fé, pois não buscam persuadir por argumentos sólidos, mas intimidar e desconcertar. Se você os pressionar muito de perto, eles se calarão abruptamente, indicando altivamente por alguma frase que o tempo para argumentação já passou.
- - I mentioned awhile back some remarks by anti‐Semites, all of them absurd: "I hate Jews because they make servants insubordinate, because a Jewish furrier robbed me, etc." Never believe that anti‐ Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past

- O antisionismo é quase indistinguível do antissemitismo na prática e, muitas vezes, na intenção, por mais que os progressistas tentem negar isso.
- - Anti-Zionism is all but indistinguishable from anti-Semitism in practice and often in intent, however much progressives try to deny this.
