The global banner of anti-Semitism is once again being unfurled in a rage of rhetorical madness unleashed by the flailing Iranian theocracy. The growing success of the Abraham Accords that is slowly and steadily undermining the pathological consensus among Arab nations that there is something politically legitimate about denying the existence of the one Jewish state: Israel — threatens the smaller axis of anti-Semitism anchored by Iran. As more nations join the logical global dialogue of nations that is inevitable, the fringe extremism of Iran and its surrogates of Hezb’allah and Hamas are prominently exposed. This is why they launched the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust on October 7 and now are appealing for the aid of traditional American academic allies to rally global forces for deadly anti-Semitism. Jewish intellectuals understandably lift their voices against this pathology, but it is a moral duty now — especially with regard to American academic life — to stand up alongside our Jewish brothers and sisters against this deadly rhetoric.
“There is one battle — in Darfur, Iraq, in Gaza, in Somalia, in Afghanistan — against the Jews and we are fighting one enemy.” These are the words of former genocidaire and sovereign leader of Sudan, Omar Bashir, spoken at a political rally in Khartoum in 2009. The rhetoric is emblematic of a global 21st-century concert to promote injustice and genocide by pointing to the recurring global scapegoat — the Jews. Bashir was a huge proponent and practitioner of the new tool for rationalizing anti-Semitism: colonialism. Monday, October 9, was indigenous persons day, a holiday created largely by American and European academics to attack the historical holiday of Columbus Day. In this 21st-century mythology, human beings fall into one of two binary categories: indigenous and colonizer. It is not a coincident that on the Monday after the attack, that intellectuals celebrated their holiday with hardly any homage to the idea that Jews are the indigenous people of Israel. Though the Jewish community has better historical, anthropological, rhetorical, archeological, and sociological evidence for its origins in Israel than almost any other human community, it is excluded largely by academics from this community of preferred “indigenous.” This is an essential part of the new rhetorical mask for anti-Semitism: the colonialism critique. The idea that any human being is not indigenous is plainly absurd. The effort to create a moral binary of indigenous/colonizer is an arbitrary rhetorical act mediated by the power of academics wielding this rhetorical sword.
