Война в Газе кристаллизует образ Израиля

Современный Израиль привлекает большое внимание аналитиков и общественности, но понять его мешают идеология, предрассудки и мифы. Зачастую к обсуждению Израиля подходят осторожно, чтобы не быть обвиненными в антисемитизме. В одной из предыдущих статей я объясняю, что отличает антисионизм от антисемитизма. Однако основная трудность в понимании Израиля состоит в привычной ассоциации этого государства в Западной Азии с евреями. […]

Antisemitizm ve Antisiyonizm Tehlikeli Bir Akıl Karışıklığı

İsrail Başbakanı, İsrail’in Gazze’de soykırım yaptığı yönündeki suçlamaları ve hatta ateşkes çağrısı yapan Amerikalı öğrencileri de Yahudi düşmanı olarak tanımlıyor.

Bu nedenle antisemitizmin ne olduğunu, ne olmadığını ve antisiyonizmden nasıl […]

От блокады Ленинграда до бомбардировок Газы: колониализм в действии

Годом позже 27 января Красная армия освободила Освенцим. На одном из зданий Невского проспекта сохранена для потомков надпись: «Граждане! При артобстреле эта сторона улицы наиболее опасна». […]
