How antisemitism has complemented Zionism Details Since the late 19th century, the Zionist project has been promoted as an essential refuge and defence against antisemitism. Yet it has embraced a racist stereotype of Jews as not belonging wherever they live and so needing a Jewish supremacist settler-colonial ethno-state in Palestine. Zionism originated as a Christian racist movement idealising the ‘return’ of Jews to the Holy Land in order to bring about the Second Coming of Jesus. From the start, Jewish Zionism has seen antisemites as important allies in motivating Jewish emigration to Palestine. The philosemitic origin of Zionism continues today in various religious and secular forms: 50 million US evangelical Christians comprise the largest part of the Israel lobby there. Israel’s strongest supporters today include antisemitic regimes and movements around the world. Many see Israel as a crucial bulwark against ‘the Islamist threat’. These movements and regimes idealise Zionist Jews as 'the Jewish community', while marginalising and stigmatising anti-Zionist Jews. In recent decades, mainstream institutions have recast antisemitism as ‘the New Antisemitism’, i.e. as hostility to Israel -- rather than to Jews. Antisemites were formerly people who dislike Jews. Now the term means people whom pro-Israel Jews dislike. Why? As a plausible reason, the above approaches help promote Western imperial, neocolonial, white supremacist domination, both in the Middle East and globally. Questions: How has antisemitism complemented Zionism? How has philosemitism related to them both? How have mainstream Western institutions changed the meaning of antisemitism? What does this mean for a comprehensively anti-racist decolonial agenda? Since Israel’s genocide began in October 2023, what are new opportunities for such an agenda?
