ANTISEMITISM AND ANTI-ZIONISM IN EUROPE: A PERSPECTIVE ON THE EU-ISRAEL RELATIONS AFTER THE SECOND INTIFADA
ANTISEMITISM AND ANTI-ZIONISM IN EUROPE: A PERSPECTIVE ON THE EU-ISRAEL RELATIONS AFTER THE SECOND INTIFADA

Summary/Abstract: The current political context surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict is often seen as significantly contributing to the resurgent antisemitism in many European countries. This Antisemitism has two dimensions: on the one hand, one of renewal – if we are to talk about the far-right antisemitism and on the other hand, one of metamorphosing, in relation to far-left antisemitism. Often hidden behind the mask of political critique of the Israeli politics, the far-left antisemitism mixes aspects related to the Jewish life in Europe with certain peculiarities of Netanyahu’s government policies towards Palestine. Therefore, this paper will aim at identifying whether the EU’s support for these NGO’s can be viewed as tolerating the anti-Semitic attitudes of the NGO’s whose programs it finances, or whether these attitudes are to be regarded as independent from the initiatives of the NGOs that are financed by the EU.
