Prologue:By ÁngelMas

President of Action and Communication in the Middle East (ACOM).

●  On October 7, 2023, the most inhumane massacre imaginable that left 1,400 dead, 4,000 injured and 240 kidnapped reminded us in the cruelest way of some truths that, in the false security of our prosperity, in the heat of an apparent and civilized coexistence, do not we had wanted to confront for decades:

That the true face of our enemies is brutal, insatiable, genocidal, evil in its purest form and, therefore, only its total, devastating and incontestable defeat can be acceptable.

We awaken to our own vulnerability, to the fragility of the safe home we thought we had in Israel, especially in the face of a savage enemy that has no limits. And to defend it we will not only be able to depend on technology. Human sacrifices will be necessary.

We discover the dream of our own prosperity. That is why we had convinced ourselves of the serious problems that our society had. All of them today seem as distant as they are frivolous and banal. Our bitter arguments have proven to be completely irrelevant when reality hits us.

We also had to accept, not only that the two-state solution will never be possible, since a large part of the Palestinians do not want their state, but that, to end ours, a very important segment of the Palestinian population will probably be unrecoverable for any coexistence. Its brutality has no solution.

They helped us remember that the Muslim world has a sick, compulsive, irrational and truly violent hatred against us. The dehumanization of the Jew has triumphed in their culture. There is no empathy, no matter what. We are guilty, whatever we do.

One of the most painful observations was the amount of hatred projected against Jews by all those who have made their anti-Semitism fashionable. Acquired, intellectualized, supervened. Which is born from fictitious grievances of a story as common as it is fallacious. And that infects a very important part of the population, our neighbors, who are tremendously dedicated to spreading this violent hatred.

We know that anti-Semitism/anti-Zionism in Western countries is the most visible symptom of a serious problem of disaffection of a part of their citizens with their own democracies, with the values ​​of freedom and guarantees and hatred of their own well-being. And projecting all this against the Jewish State and against the Jews has mutated into a contagious and socially acceptable fashion.

In case there was any doubt, we note that international institutions like the United Nations cannot be counted on at all, that the double standards against Israel and the cynicism of much of the international community are irretrievable, and that the rest of the accidental countries They will offer their sympathy and formal solidarity as they continue to finance the criminals who beheaded children, raped women, burned families, tortured children in front of their parents, murdered parents in front of their children and kidnapped 240 people, some of them babies. .

We have harshly remembered, in short, that we cannot lose any war, because it would be the last. That we only have to count on ourselves to defend ourselves. And I hear very little of the complaints of those who do not seem to tolerate the fact that Jews do not allow themselves to be slaughtered gratuitously. That appeasement and containment was a mistake. That our enemies only seek our total destruction and are deeply committed to achieving that goal. And that is why our only option is a decisive victory that destroys them, at least for a generation.

Chapter 1: Anti-Semitism in history: the terrible and painful past of the Jewish people

Anti-Semitism has been a sad reality, which has marked an important part of the history of the Jewish people.

Analyzing and understanding the roots, manifestations and consequences of this form of discrimination, as well as highlighting the importance of eradicating it in today's society, is a moral imperative.

Anti-Semitism has its roots in ancient times and peaked during the Middle Ages and World War II. During the Middle Ages, Jews were subject to persecution and expulsions in Europe, being accused of being responsible for the death of Jesus and of conspiring against Christians. These unfounded accusations led to the creation of Jewish ghettos and the enactment of discriminatory laws.

The constant persecutions and expulsions were a long and terrible experience. The darkest points in the history of anti-Semitism are found in the Inquisition and, in the last century, in the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime. This genocide left an indelible mark on the history and collective memory of the Jewish people. The Holocaust is irrefutable proof of the cruelty and hatred that can arise when anti-Semitism is allowed to take root in a society.

Anti-Semitism has not only manifested itself in acts of physical violence, but also in social, economic and political discrimination. Over the centuries, Jews have been excluded from certain jobs, denied access to education, and unfairly blamed for economic and political problems. These discriminatory attitudes have perpetuated negative stereotypes and generated a climate of hatred and distrust towards the Jewish people.

From ancient times to the Holocaust, Jews have been victims of discrimination, persecution and genocide.

The truth is that every crisis in the Middle East proves him right. According to Bernard Henry Levy, "Anti-Semitism is a poison that spreads through different contexts and justifications, but which always has the same result: the demonization and persecution of Jews. To deny this is not only ignorant, but also dangerous. (72)

Richard L. Rubinstein argues that anti-Semitism has its roots in human history and has manifested itself in different ways over the centuries. Rubinstein argues that hostility toward Jews is based on a combination of religious, economic and political factors, and has resurfaced in times of geopolitical upheaval, such as conflicts in the Middle East.

And by the way, it should be remembered, a powerful voice in the fight against anti-Semitism. Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dedicated his
