Since the beginning of the War on Terror, Israel has become increasingly salient to imperial strategy and ever more aggressive in its policies toward the Palestinians. In this context, a key ideological weapon is the cynical accusation of “anti-Semitism.” For historical reasons, this has been deployed most forcefully in France, and Alain Badiou and Eric Hazan caustically demolish the “anti-Semitism is everywhere” allegation, used to bludgeon opponents of the Israeli state and those who stand in solidarity with the banlieue youth. Ivan Segré undertakes a meticulous deconstruction of a rampant “reactionary philo-Semitism” that identifies Jewish interests with the “democratic West.”

Reviews

  • The calm and smiling power [of Segré’s work] lies in the logical rigor with which he reads texts.
