Clemens Heni: Antisemitismus und SPÖ als ‘ZUKUNFTS’projekt

http://www.hagalil.com/01/de/Europa.php?itemid=1264 In der jüngsten Nummer der ZUKUNFT ist ein Artikel von Fritz Edlinger abgedruckt, “Israel, der Islam und die Linke “. Edlinger ist ganz überrascht über Kritik am neuen Antisemitismus, denn seit 1964 ist er SPÖ-Mitglied, obwohl er doch erst 1948 geboren wurde.

Is Anti-Semitism Unique?

Among anti-Semitism scholars, nothing clears a room faster than the question of whether Jew-hatred is unique.
