The DN of the Debate. So, Sweden can step up the fight against anti-semitism

the International holocaust remembrance alliance (IHRA) was established in the year 1998 by the prime minister Göran Persson, who in an initiative to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. In the year of 2016, took the IHRA up with a working definition of anti-semitism, with the following list of eleven examples, which ”can serve as an illustration to guide the IHRA in their work”.

the Definition must be comprehensive and, although it can be criticised for being too vague, but it still serves as a platform for the continuation of the work of the anti-semitism. A tentative common description of the problem of anti-semitism, have already begun to take shape, with the connection to the IHRA's definition, which is selected from a range of countries. The prime minister, Stefan Löfven, type (21/1), in the israeli newspaper, Mayors Aharonot, the government now stands behind not just the IHRA's definition, but the following list of examples, which are presented in the same document.

such A deal of criticism of the israeli government, for example, in the case of ockupationspolitiken. Such a criticism can, of course, does not in and of itself qualifies as anti-semitic.

in The example, which is of concern to Israel requires a well-developed understanding of the dynamics between the anti-semitism of the state of Israel and the people of a jewish background or faith. The most relevant examples, as it might be anti-semitic to be critical of Israel's policies, but to criticize the other countries in the same way in any other context, viewed as a gag rule, on the critique against the violation of palestinian human rights, israeli governments have committed for many decades to come.

Israel is an important refuge for the jews that fled anti-semitism in Europe and the Middle east. Nothing, that is, Israel's various governments have taken on over the years may wipe out the actual state's right to exist.

However, IHRA's points about Israel are not independent of definitions of anti-semitism, but it must be related to the IHRA's main definition: Whether these statements are made on the basis of a certain perception of jews in the general population.

this Example is not intended to single out and silence criticism of the state of Israel, but to discourage this the state is being done to bat against the jews. With such an important issue as the fight against anti-semitism, and should not be seized by those whose aim is to promote the illegal ockupationspolitik. Israel is an important refuge for the jews that fled anti-semitism in Europe and the Middle east. Nothing, that is, Israel's various governments have taken on over the years may wipe out the actual state's right to exist. Also, Israel has the same right to national security, as the israeli-Palestinian conflict, to the national self-determination. International law and human rights of the two states, but it is broken at the moment, also, of the two states.

the Fight against anti-semitism, is of the utmost importance to all democrats, but especially for all those who want peace in Israel and Palestine. However, anti-semitism is too complex and changing too easily allow themselves to be summed up.

1 , anti-Semitism, and may be in political positions or rhetoric that does not take account of the historical guilt of the jews, , or an indifference to whether the jews were to be harmed, just by virtue of their jewish affiliation, out of these choices. The widespread indifference in the face of a vulnerable group, the situation can be just as devastating as the active hatred of the few.

anti-Semitism can manifest itself in a tolerance for, and cooperation with, the open anti-semites. , especially when combined with an intolerance of, and refusal to co-operate with those who are trying to raise issues about anti-semitism. This is especially important to remember the movement in solidarity with Palestine and protest against Israel's violations of international law.

3 , anti-Semitism, and it can be a process that the jews themselves are separated from a desired ”världsjudendom” and to be associated with it. , in such a way that it is legitimate to require them to permanent positions for loyalty, which had never been required to pay the other peer groups. For instance, if nationals of Israel's actions, writing in the secular, cultural values, etc.). Here you can see the remains of a very ancient christian idéarv in the western world, that the jews must be made to choose between ”bad” and ”good.”

4 , Through the power of social media, the world will become more subtle, without losing in efficiency and effectiveness. kind of anti-semitic activity on the network, it can be as simple as pointing out someone is a jew, by the codes, such as the three brackets around the names, which are claimed to have jewish connections. Such naming and shaming will create a hostile situation in the online environment of the individual. Anti-semitism in our medialiserade period of time, can be completely non-personal. Then it shows up in the intensity of the mediedreven, or the quantity of the nasty comments that affect individuals who are perceived to be jewish, even though none of the individual comments could be identified as anti-semitic. < / span> 5 anti-Semitism must be understood not only as emerging attitudes of an individual, the extreme of them. , There is a danger that, with the imagery of anti-semitism as merely an irrational hatred of a tankegift, or a disease, and weed out, for example through education and training. It creates the impression that anti-semitism is a strange, radical ideology, which is based on the attack of an otherwise healthy samhällskropp. However, anti-semitism has existed throughout the history of the. The persecution of the jews is well-known since the roman empire and beyond. To describe this as anything other than an inherent problem, would be to implicitly exclude the role anti-semitism plays into the story.

it should also be noted that these issues also need to be managed proactively, so as to meet the government's latest move, though welcomed, is not to be reduced to a paper tiger. If you don't work continually and self-critically with issues of this nature, so does it ultimately matter to which the document has been signed.
