The conflict between Arabs and Jews over the rebirth of the Jewish state has persisted for over a century. However, it entered a volatile new phase after 1967. Once Israel no longer fit the modern script of the “perpetual Jewish victim” – once Jews were no longer seen as powerless or confined to a post-Holocaust narrative of displacement – hostility took on a more existential shape.
This is the thesis, stated plainly because it explains the pattern: this isn’t policy criticism. It’s identity assassination. “Jews aren’t Jews” is not a confused take; it’s a purification ritual. Strip Jews of ancestry, strip them of history, then recast their survival as a crime. That is the modern form of Jew-hate. Delete the people, and the rest becomes paperwork.
