THE OLDEST FORM OF HATE

This anti-Semitism which Chomsky displays so purely is the one which has awakened today in the West, and unlike its reactionary counterpart – which has had to travel to the Islamic world to meet its revival – the radical anti-Semitic tradition has captured the imagination of the Western Left as nothing has since the demise of the Soviet Union. We now have Jewish neo-conservatives aiding and abetting (and perhaps even engineering) the American imperial project. We now have Jewish bankers stealing Palestinian land instead of fomenting world wars. In place of the Elders of Zion, we have Israel and its eager collaborators as the all-dominating force for evil in the world, manipulating even the giant United States like, as leftist hero Ralph Nader recently put it, a “puppeteer”.
