Antisemitism: A Social Problem with No Known Cause?

In a recent piece on the Algemeiner, the Jewish lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky bemoans a recent report about rising Antisemitism in Europe, and decides something needs to be done about this.

He gives the following commands to Europe – which they “must do” – in order to combat Antisemitism:

1. As European Council President Herman Van Rompuy recently said, anti-Semitism is “a crime against Europe and its culture, against man and its humanity. To be anti-Semitic is to reject Europe.” Therefore, anti-Semitism must not be seen solely a “Jewish problem,” but a human problem, and in particular, one going against the very culture and ethos of Europe.

2. Europe must have a comprehensive definition of anti-Semitism. In this regard, it was most unfortunate to see last year the decision of the EU Fundamental Rights Agency, the central European body charged with combating anti-Semitism, to remove its working definition of anti-Semitism, and inexplicably, only weeks after releasing a major report about the record level of anti-Semitism in Europe.

Importantly, the FRA definition also included calls for the delegitimization of Israel as a form of anti-Semitism. This full definition of anti-Semitism should immediately be reinstated as law in Europe. Without defining what it is we are trying to combat, how can we ever defeat it?

3. The European Union should establish a full-time EU special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism, to be modeled on a similar position in the United States, currently held by Ira Forman.

4. European governments must also be pressed separately to monitor anti-Semitism. Despite being required to do so under accords reached between the EU and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, many have failed to do so.

In fact, in the most recent report of the OSCE, which is tasked with, among other matters, requiring its member states to collect information and monitor anti-Semitic incidents in their home states, only 27 of the 57 OSCE member states submitted official statistics. Among the countries that did not submit the required data: France, Hungary, Greece, Russia and Belgium — some of the worst offenders with regard to anti-Semitism in Europe today.

5. All EU states must outlaw Holocaust denial. Under current EU law, Holocaust denial is punishable by a jail sentence of up to three years, but EU countries that do not have such a prohibition in their own domestic legislation are not bound to enforce the EU law.

At present, only 13 of the 28 EU member states have laws specifically criminalizing Holocaust denial. This anomaly in unacceptable.

Legislation must be enacted and enforced across each country in the EU, outlawing racist hate speech, use of Nazi symbols, and specifically, the denial of the Holocaust.

6. Education, education, education. People are not born to hate; they learn it. All EU member states should make study of the Holocaust and its implications mandatory in all high schools.

The fact that these are the demands in itself gives the game away.

Why is there never, ever, ever, ever any mention of why Antisemitism exists?

We we talk about solving other social problems – such as obesity, for instance – we talk about what is causing it first, then we look at how to deal with it.  We do the same with drug abuse, domestic violence, teenage pregnancy, divorce, poverty – though none of these problems are being solved, really, my point is that the groups advocating for them to be dealt with, when presenting an argument for how they should be dealt with, begin by researching and reporting the possible and confirmed causes of these problems.

With Antisemitism, however, the Jews who claim it is a social ill which needs to be dealt with seem completely uninterested in discussing what causes people to dislike Jews.

They will pay lip-service, on rare occasion, to the idea that for a thing to exist it has to have an origin, but generally claim that it is a result of “Antisemitic propaganda.”  However, there are no attempts to combat this propaganda, other than by attempts to make it illegal.  If the Antisemitic propagandists are lying, why can we not address their lies, and show them to be false?  Why is the only solution to silence them?

Along with this, if the Holocaust was an actual historical event, why is there a need to ban people from discussing it?  Surely, all deniers could be silenced without prison sentences if the Jews were simply willing to present physical evidence that the event took place.  Holocaust denial thrives not because it is legal, but because there is no physical evidence to support that it happened, and yet it is a foundational principle of the modern liberal-multiculturalist-globalist-zionist world order.

Just as Holocaust denial results from an apparent lack of a Holocaust, it appears that Antisemitism results from the presence of Jews.

For literally thousands of years, Antisemitism as accompanied Semites wherever they roamed, accompanied by the same stereotypes: Jews are shrewd, dishonest businessmen who engage in weird sexual behaviors and have a pathological obsession with controlling the societies which host them, something which they accomplish by exploiting people’s weaknesses, gaining leadership positions and using achieved influence to move more Jews into positions of influence.

It would be quite fantastic that this stereotype, if untrue, would have remained the same in every society they have inhabited.  It remains the same today.

If Antisemitism is a problem which can be solved, this needs to start with a debate over the causes.  In all reality though, the only solution to it is separation from the Jews.

Herzl formulated the concept of the state of Israel as a solution to the problem of Antisemitism, as it would cease to exist if the Jews were geographically separated from other peoples.  However, the Jews have refused to live there, and thus, it continues, and will continue, as long as Jews are present in our societies.
