Abstract:
Weill, a French Jew, a historian, and a journalist at "Le Monde", surveys antisemitism in France based on his own experiences and reactions to events from the late 1970s to the present. Refers, also, to fragments of a journal written in his youth which relate to antisemitic incidents and violence. Describes events such as the terrorist attack on the Rue Copernic synagogue in 1980, the cemetery desecration in Carpentras in 1990, the influence of Roger Garaudy's book "Les mythes fondateurs de la politique israélienne" on Muslim elites, and the reevaluation of the Vichy regime during the trial of Maurice Papon. Discusses the increasing anti-Zionism among French intellectuals and the process of universalization of anti-Zionism, as well as the renaissance of the myth of "Judeo-Bolshevism". Underlines the influence of European antisemitism on Muslim antisemitism and anti-Zionism. States that antisemitism provokes ambiguous reactions amongst assimilated Jews in regard to their own identity, which sometimes leads either to self-hatred or to emigration to Israel.
