"The conc...Anti-Semitism 2.0, by Mudar Zahran<br /><br />"<i>The concept of the 'evil Jew' has made a well-disguised comeback: Criticizing Israel and Zionists, is now deemed a legitimate option to cursing Jews and Judaism. Not only is it open, socially acceptable and legal, but it can actually bring prosperity and popularity. This new form of anti-Semitism 2.0 is well-covered-up, harder to trace and poses a much deeper danger to the modern way of life of the civilized world than the earlier crude form of it, as it slowly and gradually works on delegitimizing Jews to the point where it eventually becomes acceptable to target Jews, first verbally, then physically -- all done in a cosmopolitan style where the anti-Semites are well-groomed speakers and headline writers in jackets and ties; and not just Arab, but American and European, from 'sanitized' news coverage of the most bloodthirsty radicals, to charges against Israel in which facts are distorted, selectively omitted or simply untrue, as in former President Jimmy Carter's book on Israel.</i><br /><br />"<i><b>Why would a Palestinian* be writing this?</b> The answer is simple: The Palestinians* have been used as fuel for the new form of anti-Semitism; this has hurt the Palestinians* and exposed them to unprecedented and purposely media-ignored abuse by Arab governments, including some of those who claim love for the Palestinians*, yet in fact only bear hatred to Jews. This has resulted in Palestinian* cries for justice, equality, freedom and even basic human rights being ignored while the world getting consumed with delegitimizing Israel from either ignorance or malice.</i><br /><br />"<i><b>Worse, just as the old form of anti-Semitism has proven itself a threat as poisonous to its supporters, as it was to the Jews, the new form of anti-Semitism 2.0 could prove itself the same -- all the more likely as we see the world tolerating Iran's nuclear ambitions not necessarily out of love for the Mullah's regime, but instead because of mental fixation against Israel.</b></i> ..."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/1979/anti-semitism-20" rel="nofollow">http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/1979/anti-semitism-20</a><br /><br />----<br /><br />From <a href="http://israel-thrives.blogspot.com/2012/12/military-source-confirms-palestinians.html?showComment=1356544452689#c2082923398918573526" rel="nofollow">a talk</a> by <a href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/author/Khaled+Abu+Toameh" rel="nofollow">Khaled Abu Toameh</a>:<br /><br />"...<i>When I tried, in '95 and '96 and '97 to alert many of my foreign colleagues to the fact that Arafat was stealing the money, back then, in the financial corruption, and that the Palestinians* are complaining about this, <b>many of my American, Canadian, European, colleagues, asked me back then if I were on the payroll of 'The Jewish Lobby'.
