Abstract

Anti-Semitism and Extremism Today:
The Circuit Between the Center and the Periphery 

The persistence, and more accurately, the surge of anti-Semitism in today’s world should be understood in the broader context which was opened up, in the history of anti-Semitism, not by the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948, but by the Holocaust, when the Nazi regime of Germany put together hatred against the Jews and hatred against the West. Also, significant today, in the age of Muslim extremism, is that the dominant culturalism of the liberal left promotes an armed belligerence against what it considers the conservative fabric of Western society and politics. In large measure, anti-Semitism and Muslim extremism constitute a problematic circuit between advanced Western democracies and the backwoods of political and cultural violence, instead of representing clear demarcations between these two worlds.
