We zijn allemaal antisemiet
Abstract
The title of an article by Kotak and Teitelbaum said :“…the antisemite Francesca Albanese”, meaning the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories. I remind of other recent accusations of antisemitism (the writer Herman Brusselmans; the Belgian legal proceedings against irregular circumscription of babies; critique of Israël, support of Gaza, Nazi symbols, and many others). The definition of antisemitism varies with individuals and societies as well as their perception of antisemitic happenings. Many Jews in Israel, US and other countries demonstrate against the Israeli government; are they antisemites, too? And what about the Israeli women and men who refuse to go to the war against Palestinians? One accusation against Francesca Albanese is her meeting in Qatar with Hamas; I have argued, in the beginning of the Gaza war, for negotiations with Hamas. US sanctions against Albanese block her access to the international banking system, and she lost her professorate at GeorgeTown University.
