Hate and ignorance: The new fight against Jews in society
Wien, Österreich - recent statements by the Austrian writer Karl-Markus Gauß draw attention to the increasing social tendency of anti-Semitism, which increasingly occurs in connection with current global political events. In his new book "culpable ignorance. Essays against zeitgeist and hatred of Jews", which was released on Tuesday, he criticizes the ignorance of some actors who act in propalestinian Solidarity cups after the Hamas massacre in the art scene and at universities. "You have no idea, from this you get your conviction," says Gauss, who refers to the educated participants of these movements as "fools made of good house". He calls for a differentiated view and points out that among the academic representatives of the SS, who were responsible for the Holocaust, there were many doctoral persons; Education alone does not protect against anti -Semitism, as Salzburg.ORF.at reported.
At the same time, Jewish communities have been experiencing an increase in attacks and exclusions worldwide since October 7, 2023. After Hamas's brutal attack on Israelis, anti -Semitism is thrown around. Symbols such as synagogues and Jewish business are affected, while numerous people protest against Israel and emphasize their responsibility for supposed genocide. For example, students staged a performance at the Academy of the Arts in Berlin, the background of which was reminiscent of brutal violence and the lynch murder of Jews. This campaign, as well as the underlying anti-Semitic rhetoric, illustrate the alarming development in society, which the Austrian historian looks at, which is vehemently against the distorted victim perpetrator discussion. Gauss emphasizes that the hatred of Jews is fueled by a network of digital "pulpit preachers", which mix important concerns such as anti-imperialism and anti-racism with dangerous ideology, such as Press shown.Gauß’s commitment and his upcoming book presentation in the Jewish Museum in Vienna on February 20 and in the Salzburg City Library on February 27th could help to raise awareness of the dangers of anti -Semitism and to encourage society to think.
