2/5 Mike Marqusee, Jewish Anti-Zionist, Book Talk

[yviva]

mike seems to have a huge historical blind spot here...

i don't think the relatively brief "emancipation" of the european jews feels so historically important to jewish people since that history ended in the genocide of much of europe's jewish communities, and also certainly didn't resolve the virulent anti-semitism in the soviet areas, where the genocide did not take place...

so, clearly, equality and security had not been attained by jews via their political "emancipation"...

Herzl was the prototype of the emancipated Jew. But he stopped believing in emancipation as a solution when confronted to the "Affaire Dreyfus". Dreyfus who was an emancipated Jew like Herzl, caused the French rioters to shout "Mort aux Juifs".
