“Last Wednesday’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, which this year commemorated the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, was marked by customary calls to combat anti-Semitism worldwide. Yet resisting bigotry is not as clear-cut an issue as it might seem at first glance, at a time when the very definition of anti-Semitism is shifting and constantly questioned. Where some see the cancer of Jew-hatred, others see the charge of anti-Semitism being used to stifle discussion of issues particularly in relation to Israel and the conflict in the Middle East. Anti-Semitism is probably the world’s oldest still-extant form of group hate. But where does legitimate opinion end and bigotry begin?” (02/02/10)
