Everything old is new again

Anti-Semitism Rises Again -Victor Davis Hanson

The latest anti-Semitism is also now mouthed by world leaders and sophisticated politicians and academics. Their loathing often masquerades as "anti-Zionism" or "legitimate" criticism of Israel. But the venom exclusively reserved for the Jewish state betrays their existential hatred.

Mass murdering in Cambodia, the Congo, Rwanda, and Darfur has earned far fewer condemnation[s] than supposed atrocities committed by Israel.

For many abroad, attacking Jews and Israel is an indirect way of damning its main ally, the United States - by implying that Americans are not entirely evil, just hoodwinked by those sneaky and far more evil Jews.
