VIENNA, Austria (AFP) — From 19th-century antisemitic caricatures to disinformation linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rothschild international banking dynasty has been a favorite target of conspiracy theorists blaming it for the world’s ills.

Now an exhibition at the Vienna Jewish Museum seeks to debunk some of the wild rumors and explore why the Rothschild name continues to attract them, especially as some people on social media look for what they say is proof that the elite is making money out of the virus.

“We often hear the names of George Soros or Bill Gates, Jewish or non-Jewish people who are responsible for everything,” exhibition curator Tom Juncker told AFP.

“And the name Rothschild keeps coming up, although no specific Rothschild is named, but the name Rothschild is used as a wild card,” he added.

The fame — and conspiracy theories — that the Rothschilds have long drawn have their roots in the family’s success in banking.

With “their rapid success,” the Jewish family — which made its fortune setting up banks in the 1800s around Europe — became “the face of the emerging banking industry,” drawing public attention and comment, Juncker said.

After censorship was abolished in the Habsburg Empire in 1848, cartoons and caricatures about them became ever more virulent and began to evoke an “alleged worldwide Jewish conspiracy, which has in fact continued until today,” he said.

LONDON — A new exhibition at London’s Wiener Holocaust Library showcases 150 years of efforts in France, Germany and the UK to battle Jew-hatred. Called “Fighting Antisemitism from Dreyfus to Today”, the exhibit runs until September 2022. Among the objects on display are French newspapers proclaiming the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus, leaflets that aimed to refute antisemitic Nazi propaganda in the 1920s, and photos depicting Jewish former servicemen protesting against fascist meetings in post-war Britain.

It highlights the depressing endurance of antisemitism in Europe and noble attempts to counter it, as well as presents some more positive developments in the attitude of the state and law-enforcement agencies. “Much of what we know about antisemitism over the last century comes from the work of those who have monitored and challenged it,” according to the exhibition.

The exhibit, Warnock adds, is also linked to the library’s desire to display documents about its own role in the fight against Jew-hatred. The library houses the world’s oldest and Britain’s largest collection of original archival material on the Nazi era and the Holocaust. Its origins lay in the work of Dr. Alfred Wiener, who campaigned against Nazism during the 1920s and ’30s and gathered evidence about antisemitism and the persecution of Jews in Germany. After fleeing Germany with his family in 1933, Wiener established the Jewish Central Information Office (JCIO). It collected information about the Nazis, facilitating campaigns to raise public awareness of their crimes.

The UK’s Queen Mary University of London will host an event called “Marxism 2022” in July, which features speakers who have been plagued by antisemitism scandals.

One of the most well-known voices at “Marxism 2022” will be Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the UK’s Labour Party. Corbyn presided over the party during a period in which it committed “unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination,” according to the UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission, and faced persistent accusations of promoting Jew-hatred.

“Under his leadership, and the semi-respectable sheen of anti-Zionism — let’s have a Rainbow Nation with Hamas! — the poison spreads,” wrote former Chief Rabbi of England Jonathan Sacks in The Spectator in 2019. “The libel that the Jews are the enemy of everything holy (formerly Christ, now socialism) has returned.”

There has been lots of justified criticism of the Anti-Defamation League under Jonathan Greenblatt, and how it has apparently embraced the woke ideology and de-emphasized leftist antisemitism. (One of the most pointed and trenchant critiques came from Seth Mandel in this Commentary piece last month - it is worth reading.)

Perhaps in response, Greenblatt gave a speech at the ADL Virtual National Leadership Summit yesterday. (Video here.) While it only partially addresses the critics, he was emphatic that anti-Zionism is antisemitism, and his arguments are as good as one can find. He did not pull any punches.

To those who still cling to the idea that antizionism is not antisemitism – let me clarify this for you as clearly as I can – antizionism is antisemitism.

I will repeat: antizionism is antisemitism.

Antizionism as an ideology is rooted in rage. It is predicated on one concept: the negation of another people, a concept as alien to the modern discourse as white supremacy. It requires a willful denial of even a superficial history of Judaism and the vast history of the Jewish people. And, when an idea is born out of such shocking intolerance, it leads to, well, shocking acts.

I’m sorry, but why would this surprise anyone?

Let me give you a recent example.

All of us held our breath in recent weeks as yet another wave of terror attacks rolled over Israel. Murderous terrorists in cities across the country targeted anyone within arm’s reach – police officers, children, teachers, etc.

And how did organizations like Students for Justice in Palestine (also known as SJP) or the Jewish Voice for Peace – this name is not intended be ironic – respond? With increasingly dangerous language.

Just this month, Georgetown SJP invited Mohammed El-Kurd to its campus, a man who alleged that Jewish Israelis and Zionists eat the organs of Palestinians and claimed that Zionism is inherently linked to “blood thirsty[sic] and violent” actions.

And in the face of recent violence against Israeli civilians, an SJP spinout, Within Our Lifetime, marched through Manhattan a few weeks ago. They carried signs and chanted slogans.

And what did they say?

Did they call to “stop the violence?”

No.

Did they call to “give peace a chance?”

No.

They called to “globalize the intifada.”

Let me say that one more time – their response to a surge in homicidal violence against civilians was literally a call for more homicidal violence against civilians. And this isn’t the first time SJP and students have called for this.

And this isn’t just SJP. Recently, JVP in NY promoted another rally using the hashtag #globalizetheintifada.

Now you might hear from some voices on the fringe that the word “intifada” is not about a call to violence, that it is about liberation.

That is a complete fiction. It is an utter lie.

Nazi ideology spoke of “redemptive anti-Semitism”, namely a form of anti-Semitism that explains all in the world by offering a form of “redemption” by exterminating and purifying humanity of the Jews. Islamic religious and political leaders broadcast daily sermons of incitement to murder Jews, promising heaven and redemption for those that carry out this call to rid the world of Jews.

“Redemptive anti-Semitism” is a theory expounded by the Holocaust historian Professor Saul Friedländer. He maintains that Nazi anti-Semitism was distinctive for being “redemptive anti-Semitism”, namely a form of anti-Semitism that could explain all in the world and offer a form of “redemption” for the anti-Semitic person. Friedländer spoke about a specifically Nazi aspect of anti-Semitism. That's the belief in a racial hierarchy, with the "the Jews" at the bottom. It holds that everything wrong with the world, and everything wrong with people, is a result of the malign influence of "the Jews." According to this idea, exterminating the Jews will prevent them from corrupting the world any further and will enable people to be redeemed and purified. Friedlander’s use of the term "liberation from Jews" begins with attacks, the expulsion of Jews from their homes and communities and ends with their physical annihilation.

A antisemitic death threat written in yellow paint was discovered on Monday morning outside Congregation Beth Israel in Portland, Oregon, along with fire burn marks, local media reported.

Staff members of the Reform synagogue in northwest Portland found the phrase “Die Juden” on a wall of the building mere days after Yom HaShoah, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, according to The Oregonian. “Juden” is the German word for “Jews,” and the congregation’s Rabbi Michael Z. Cahana believes yellow paint was specifically used to reference the yellow stars Nazis forced Jews to wear during the Holocaust.

An experienced diplomat and an educated man, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov knew perfectly well what he was saying when he erupted into a tirade about Jews, antisemites and Hitler in an interview this week on Italian TV. It was neither a slip of the tongue nor a mistake, nor is anyone in the Kremlin asking to correct the record about what he said or apologize for them.


Lavrov’s comments were one of Russia’s clearest crossings of a revisionist red line since it invaded Ukraine. He declared: "So what if Zelenskyy is Jewish? The fact does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood. It means absolutely nothing…the most ardent antisemites are usually Jews."

On Wednesday, May 4th, the Students for Justice in Palestine Rutgers-Newark will host an event featuring Norman Finkelstein, best known for calling Holocaust deniers “very good historians,” writing a book called “The Holocaust Industry,” and even justifying Hezbollah terrorism. Among the apparent co-sponsors of the event, featured on top of the Instagram flyer promoting the event, was a very surprising logo: UNICEF USA.

As UNICEF USA is purportedly a non-partisan organization, CAMERA contacted the charity to confirm if they were indeed a cosponsor of the event. To the organization’s credit, they responded quickly and professionally to our inquiry and confirmed that the event “has nothing to do with us” and that they will seek to have their logo removed from the event.



That would mean that, without permission, anti-Israel activists used the UNICEF USA logo to promote and give a false veneer of credibility to their event featuring an apologist for terrorism and Holocaust denial.

The Rutgers system has already seen many incidents affecting the Jewish community. In April 2021, the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity’s house was vandalized during their 24-hour reading of names of victims of the Holocaust for Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The following month, the Rutgers-New Brunswick chancellor issued a statement condemning antisemitism and then shockingly apologized for the statement after pressure from the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter.

More recently, the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity was again targeted on April 29 for attack when protestors leaving a Students for Justice in Palestine rally traveled to the fraternity’s house to shout antisemitic rhetoric and spit in their direction. A few days later, the house was once again vandalized during the fraternity’s commemoration of Holocaust Memorial Day.

These antisemitic incidents involving SJP, and their decision to coopt without permission the UNICEF USA logo to promote their hateful agenda, should be a warning to the administrators in the Rutgers system. One can only hope they will honestly reflect on the shocking way in which they threw their Jewish students under the bus and caved to SJP’s hate last year and commit to protecting their Jewish students.

“We also urge the University to take the next step and adopt the IHRA working definition of antisemitism, as the federal government and opposition have done," Leibler continued. "Doing so would empower university staff and students to call out antisemitic conduct when it occurs and send a strong message of support and inclusion to Jewish students.”


AIJAC Executive Director Dr. Colin Rubenstein said: “We gratefully welcome the University’s principled statement on the motion and especially the fact that the University has correctly identified the appalling UMSU motion as antisemitic. AIJAC would also welcome any further steps the University could take to prevent a repeat of this travesty. Chief among these would be for the University to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Working Definition of Antisemitism.

“We all know Jew hatred didn’t end when the Holocaust did,” he added. “New York State has recently experienced an alarming increase in Jew hatred crimes … it’s a tragedy that New York leads the nation in antisemitic incidents.”

He noted that antisemitic incidents doubled in Rockland County from 2020 to 2021. New York State recorded more than 415 such incidents in 2021—up from nearly 340 in 2020, according to the Anti-Defamation League’s Audit of Antisemitic Incidents.

“How do we shift the growing trend from hate and violence to love and tolerance? All of you who are here are part of that solution. This movement is part of that solution,” he continued. “We can be the generation that ends Jew hatred once and for all in New York State, in the United States and in the world.”

The Suddeutsche Zeitung news outlet, which saw a copy of the leaflet, reported that one element “runs through the text from start to finish: aggressive hatred of Jews, right up to the call to ‘liquidate’ all Jews worldwide by the end of 2023.” There was no signature or any other identifying marks visible on the leaflet, leading one recipient to remark that the author’s anonymity proved that “hatred and cowardice go hand in hand.”

Felix Balandat, an analyst with the Research and Information Center for Anti-Semitism in Bavaria (RIAS), emphasized that the violent message of the leaflets was a primary concern.

“You can tell that the author has a blatant urge to spread his antisemitism by taking the trouble to distribute [the leaflets] in mailboxes,” Balandat said. “The antisemitic fantasies of annihilation in the text are particularly alarming.”

Balanadat added that “antisemitism urges action and in the end antisemites only want one thing: that there are no more Jews in the world.”

The leaflets were posted as the community gathered to mark Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.

The person whose family survived the Holocaust said they were now considering moving to Israel with their family and that Australia is no longer safe for Jews.

The hate attack also referred to the federal election campaign. Slurs on the leaflets said Australian politics is 'dominated by Jews' and Scott Morrison is their 'puppet'.

Yemeni university professor Dr. Abd Al-Wadud Muqasher said in an April 26, 2022 show that aired on Al-Masirah TV (Houthis – Yemen) that the Muslims' conflict with the Jews is religious and existential and not a conflict over borders. He elaborated that according to the Quran, the Jews are the "filthiest and most evil human beings" and were transformed into apes and pigs by Allah. In addition, Dr. Muqasher said that the Muslims must exterminate the Jews and that every Muslim must fight in order to liberate Palestine and Jerusalem from their filth. Dr. Muqasher also cited Adolf Hitler and Mein Kampf, and accused the Jews of spreading AIDS, cancer, and immorality throughout Egypt after the Camp David Accords.

[ Gratefully, there are few of them ]

IfNotNow didn't ignore the terror attack that killed three Jews yesterday. They justified it, while pretending to "grieve."

They tweeted:

We are grieving the loss of life today from an attack in the city of Elad, where three Israelis were killed and four were injured.

Each of these lives is sacred, each one a whole world no longer with us.


And we grieve the power imbalance fueling this violence – Israel’s apartheid system, where walls and weapons create a daily nightmare for all Palestinians.

Where Israeli gov. has nuclear arms and intl support, while Palestinians lack rights to self-defense + self-determination.

They pointedly don't condemn the murders. After their perfunctory "grief" at the loss of life, they then also "grieve" the circumstances that forced Palestinians to murder Jews. That would be the "power imbalance" where Jews have power so therefore Palestinians, having no sense of free will or morality according to INN logic, have little choice but to murder random Jews.

You see, the only reason Jews are dead is because of that Jews do. Palestinians, as always, have no agency. This was merely self defense, a right that Israel doesn't give them so they must take it.

Israel has nuclear arms. So, naturally, Palestinians have to kill Jews. This is the pathetic logic of rabid Israel haters who use their ostensible Judaism for the sole purpose of saying Jews are pure evil.

If Jews being powerful is reason for them to be murdered, then what was the excuse of the Cossacks and Crusaders and Nazis and pre-1948 Arabs who attacked Jews when they were weak?

Anti-Zionist Jews who justify these sorts of attacks are reprehensible.

Contemptible If Not Now antisemites justify the murder of Jews

On Thursday, the government of Kuwait said that Jews are the only people on Earth whose very existence violates international law - when they quietly walk on the Temple Mount.

The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the State of Kuwait's strong condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli occupation authority's allowing extremists to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the occupation forces.

The ministry warned in a statement today, Thursday, of the consequences of the continuation of such serious violations, which constitute a flagrant violation of the rules of international law and the Geneva Conventions and cause to stoke the spirit of violence and tension and a threat to international peace and security.

The ministry called on the Security Council to assume its responsibilities to curb these violations.

This statement is nothing less than a justification of ethnic cleansing of an entire people. After all, if Jews cannot exist in their holiest spot because it offends bigoted Muslims, they they cannot exist anywhere that offends bigoted Muslims - which includes all of Israel and possibly the entire Middle East. Hamas has famously declared, with no one arguing, that all of Palestine is holy Islamic waqf land - Jews existing in Israel is just as offensive as Jews existing on the Temple Mount.

Jews must know their place.

Jews, by existing, violate international law.

Jews, by existing, stoke violence.

Jews, by existing, are a threat to international peace and security.

What is left unsaid is that Jews, by existing, offend antisemitic Muslims who are therefore somehow compelled to act violently. Antisemitic Muslims who use Jews' very existence as an excuse to murder Jews.

This statement was released before the murders in Elad yesterday, but the murders are a direct result of this kind of officially sanctioned antisemitism and incitement that is still endemic in much of the Arab world.

According to the antisemites. killing Jews isn't against international law. Murder is a natural consequence of the offensiveness of Jews existing and living their lives in their historic homeland.

This statement does not only justify ethnic cleansing. It justifies genocide.

Such thoroughly offensive statements by a sovereign nation don't even elicit the tiniest of protests from the nations of the world, nor from the "human rights" community, nor from the people who claim to be against all forms of racism and hate.

It is so easy to dismiss this. Kuwait is not important, their rantings aren't worth getting upset over, they are playing to their citizens, they don't really mean it - there is no shortage of justifications for hate. But it should not be dismissed. It is part of the normalization of antisemitism in the international arena. It is part of the rewriting of international law specifically to limit Jewish rights - a process that starteddecades ago.

It means that Jew-haters are the ones who decide where and when Jews can exist, and they can also decide when and where Jews must be destroyed.

Government of Kuwait declares the existence of Jews anywhere that offends Muslims to be a violation of international law
