I've said this before but I want to repeat it very blatantly: Antisemitism is NOT just hatred of Jews. It is a mythology that helps people make sense of the world. When people take the step into the mythology, they enter a very deep realm of conspiracy theorizing. It is a totalizing worldview.

I'm sure you are a very deeply experienced expert in this field and I don't disagree with anything else you say but I hate this framing. Antisemitism doesn't "explain" anything, just like any other bigotry. It just shows us who the hateful idiots are.

It becomes an explanation for everything. It sets up a world disconnected from reality. And it excuses monstrous behavior because it is set up as an epic battle between good and bad, where the enemy has more power than anyone can possibly imagine. It is the kind of thinking that leads to wars.

Are antisemitism and antizionism the same thing? Asking for a world.

"Antisemitism is a combination of worldview and passion, as Jean-Paul Sartre wrote in 1945, a fundamental attitude toward the world, which those who share it use to make sense of everything in politics and society that they cannot or do not want explain and understand." (Salzborn, 2022)
