註釋Analyzes the Möllemann and Hohmann affairs: in the former, a politician who criticized Israel's occupation policy was attacked in his own party and died as a presumed suicide; in the latter, opponents claimed they detected covert antisemitic stereotypes in a speech by a Bundestag member, and he was ousted from his party faction. Describes numerous other recent incidents, showing that anyone criticizing Israeli policy or relating to the Holocaust in any but the orthodox manner is immediately accused of antisemitism. Meanwhile, drug and sex charges against Mõllemann's most aggressive accuser, Michel Friedman of the Zentralrat der Juden in Deutschland, were branded antisemitic and soon passed over. Argues that allegedly antisemitic utterances are often distorted or quoted out of context, and that in any case they are a legitimate, and in many cases constructive, exercise of freedom of speech. Public opinion often runs counter to the opinion-forming elites who make these allegations. The lesson to be drawn from the Holocaust is not to blindly support all of Israel's actions but to oppose all infringements of human rights, no matter who commits them.
