The article here reminds us that persecution of racial or religious minorities is often – if not always – associated with a totalitarian polity, and increasingly, another “religion”.
It is strange that today’s building chorus of anti-Semitism, now detectable almost world-wide, is greeted by the “liberal” left with gales of silence. For history shows us exactly what happens to “liberals” when the monster finally gets round to eating them too.
I would like to rescue the word “liberal” from the Stalinists who have pinched it for themselves, and restore it to us, along with “capitalist” which has suffered even worse lynching.

“It is strange that today’s building chorus of anti-Semitism”
Can you spare me some of what you’ve been smoking, David?
Patrick I’ll answer more fully with specifics tonight later, but in the meantime there has indeed been a general sea-change in the way that jews in general, and israel in particular, have been viewed globally and locally.
When i was 15, the 6-day war happened. Being as I am of mixed Arab/British parentage, i was one of two boys only in the school who said that things were not as they seemed to everyone and the media. The world and the BbC seemd to rejoice at the utter debagging that the Arab nations all got (at once.)
Today, all is upside down, as you can see. I’ll come back later after my duties and carry on.
OK, I’ll wait with interest.
My personal opinion is that yes, there has been a swing in the media; one to be welcomed. In my youth, I too remember everyone being very pro-Israel and anti the ‘rag heads’, as people used to openly call the Arabs. Nowadays things seem more balanced, and the Israeli leadership don’t get such an easy time of it.
I personally loathe the ‘anti-semitic’ label, both because it’s used as an attack term to prevent anyone questioning the actions of the Israeli leadership and military (by some bizarre collective inference you _must_ be attacking all Jews if you question the actions of certain Zionists), and because it’s totally inaccurate to apply it to Jews alone — they aren’t the only Semites out there.
You’re spot on David. I completely agree.
It’s worth reading Nick Cohen’s ‘What’s Left?’ for a good insight into this phenomenon.
