CEP Report: Understanding The History And 21st Century Manifestations Of
Anti-Semitism

(New York, N.Y.) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) published new reports
today that chronicle the historic roots of anti-Semitism, its persistent
themes, and its modern manifestations. CEP’sAnti-Semitism resource is comprised
of two reports, which provide a basis for understanding modern anti-Semitism,
its resurgence in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, and how
historic tropes are re-packaged to fit into mainstream political discourse.

 

“The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance

Working Definition of Antisemitism and its 11 contemporary examples provides
institutions and individuals with guidance to help clearly identify and
ultimately combat anti-Semitism,” said CEP Executive Director David Ibsen. “We
must also work to better understand the origins of anti-Semitism and why it
appeals to so many.”

 

The commonality among anti-Semitism on the far left, the far right, radical
Islamism, and Christian anti-Semitism is a manufactured fear of perceived
Jewish power and the need to defend against it. For those who feel insecure in
their current place in the modern world, and especially for those who wish to
manipulate unease to gain power, the Jew continues to be a convenient target.

 

“To understand the modern incarnation of anti-Semitism requires an examination
of the roots and evolution of institutional anti-Semitism and how it led to
events such as the Spanish Inquisition and the Holocaust. Understanding its
origins and the violence it has borne throughout history is essential to
slowing its surge in popularity,” said report author CEP Senior Research
Analyst Josh Lipowsky. “This hatred is evident on both the far left and the far
right. It has fueled attacks by individuals, terror groups, and state sponsors
of terror.”
