Permanent Anti-Globalist Antisemitism (Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries)

The Transformations of Contemporary Antisemitism: Between Continuation and Resurgence
By Bernard Bruneteau
English

By questioning the concept of “new antisemitism,” the history of ideas favors continuity in the main themes of antisemitism. The stigmatization of globalism appears in connection with anti-Semitic ideology at the end of the nineteenth century. We note the same association today in the writings of French intellectual activist Alain Soral. This ideological updating therefore leads the historian to reexamine the expressions of anti-globalism closely linked to the anti-Ssemitic ideology professed at the time of Gougenot des Mousseaux, Drumont, Ford, and Rosenberg. The socio-cultural cleavage between integration and demarcation explains the antisemitism of this period, when it associated the Jewish world with the great prophecies of economic and political modernity.
