Henryk M. Broder on antisemitism

Overview

German author and publicist Henryk M. Broder, marking his 80th birthday, has engaged in discussions regarding the nature of antisemitism in Europe. In conjunction with this milestone, his work ‘Der ewige Antisemit’ is being re-released with a new foreword after 40 years.

Broder characterizes antisemitism as an incurable, emotional phenomenon and a form of resentment rather than a prejudice that can be mitigated through education. He suggests that while certain Israeli policies may increase tensions, attacks on the state of Israel are fundamentally rooted in its existence. Furthermore, he has expressed concern that migrant populations arriving in Europe may bring antisemitic cultural backgrounds with them.
