"The concept of anti-Semitism according to the gang that is ruling today in the White House boils down to Israel as a state, and not even to the Jews as a race or a religion," says Gamal Ghitani, editor of an Egyptian literary journal. According to him, anti-Semitism is nothing more than politics, and if it is about politics, then the Arabs also have got to be in the game.
The editor of the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, Ibrahim Naf'a, formulated his opinion of anti-Semitism a year ago, when he stated: "Israel and the Zionist organizations are becoming increasingly dependent on the weapon of anti-Semitism .... They have succeeded in manipulating the Semitic ethnicity so that it will be unique only to Jews, and thus they will be able to accuse the Arabs of anti-Semitism as well, even though the Arabs are the majority of the Semitic peoples."
Arabs therefore are seeking ways to reclaiming the anti-Semitic "weapon" for themselves, and turn it against Israel. |
