Abstract
Accusations of anti-Semitism have become the habitualised weapon used against critics of Israeli war crimes. Most of such claims are built on the argument that there is a ‘New anti-Semitism’ of the political left, as this is where the most critics of Zionism are based. This article maps the development of such bogus claims, originating in France and the US, where the two varieties of the argument are based; by analyzing such claims, it becomes clear that these are defence mechanisms of Zionism, designed to silence both the supporters of Palestine, as well as obscure the much more meaningful racism and xenophobia directed against Arabs and Muslims.
