Anti-Semitism today equals the anti-Semitism of the Christian Dark Ages ?
One American from a Jewish background , Harvard professor Howard Zinn , author of " People's History of the United States , connected late 20th century anti-Semitism with the rise of Zionist APARTHEID Israel. And popular science writer Isaac Asimov -also from a Jewish background - said this about modern Israel :
“I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is simply assumed that I have. Well, I don’t travel. I really don’t, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn it back. "
If you take the long view of history Anti-Semitism today is not the same Anti-Semitism as in the Christian Dark Ages.
In general the common sense law of logic A=A is more and more misleading in HISTORY , in TIME and SPACE.
