…mythologizing of Jewish power lies at the heart of the so-called “new anti-Semitism” which is ultimately not so different from the old.

Already in the mid-19th century, socialists as diverse as Karl Marx, Proudhon and Mikhail Bakunin, had postulated the existence of a universal, anti-social Jewish mercantile “essence” which had supposedly seized control of the capitalist world and would therefore have to be destroyed.

Their heirs today have embraced the phantasmagoric (something in a dream or created by the imagination) view that humanity can only be redeemed (and peace finally achieved in the Middle East) if the world is physically liberated from the new “Jewish” yoke – that of a demonic American-Zionist-Israeli conspiracy.

There’s an interesting anti-spiritual spiritual component there.
