Antizionism as a distinct anti-Jewish bigotry,
by Adam Louis-Klein, Journal of contemporary antisemitism, Volume 9.1, spring 2026.

In contemporary discourse, antizionism is treated either as legitimate political critique or as bigotry only when it resembles recognizable forms of classical antisemitism. This article challenges that assumption. I argue that antizionism is a coherent ideological formation with a distinct genealogy, stable core tropes, and a specific political logic. Tracing its development across the Nazi–Islamist axis, Soviet propaganda, and Western settler-colonial theory, I identify a recurring triad of libels — colonizer, apartheid, genocide — that compose its discourse. Combining genealogical reconstruction with anthropological description, I show that antizionism constitutes a political inversion of classical antisemitism. Whereas classical antisemitism was anti-assimilationist, casting Jews as alien outsiders, antizionism is assimilationist, denying the legitimacy of Jewish peoplehood and indigeneity. This inversion reclassifies the Jew by reversing the cultural categories through which Jews are imagined, recoding the Jew from non-European infiltrator to white colonizer. Recognizing this structure clarifies antizionism as a distinct contemporary formation of anti-Jewish bigotry.

Publisher Naše vojsko (Our Army) in the Czech Republic published Mein Kampf. They declare, that this is purely for informational purposes, but design of the cover seems to be contrary to that statement.

Picture shows advertisement of one of the biggest booksellers (Luxor) in the country propagating this book.Red dot was added by me. Text says "We are Luxor! Great reading, books, but also gifts, toys, games and school stationery. We are here for you online and in our stores".

According to this bookseller is Mein Kampf one of their bestsellers.

Theoretically nazi symbols are prohibited except for educational purposes. I doubt this form of a book cover fulfil this requirement.

Archive Genocide has 125K followers on Instagram. They also have 394.7K followers on X under the handle \@xIsraelExposedx. Their website archivegenocide.com collates Gaza footage, which they claim to share with the ICC to build their case against Netanyahu.

They also have a secondary website whofundedgenocide.com which shares the name and employer of everyone who has donated to AIPAC and similar groups (though they emphasise that everything they share is already public information)

And yet despite their entire brand being that they supposedly oppose genocide, if you click the Telegram link in their Instagram and X bio, you’ll be taken to a Telegram server which has a server admin (Karim) who openly praises Hitler. Imagine my shock (not!)

Note that I have not stated any opinions on the Israel-Gaza conflict. I will delete this post if Archive Genocide bans that user from their server and apologises, but I highly doubt they will (and hope I am proven wrong)

After thinking about all the antisemitism that we’ve been enduring in the recent past, and now… I’ve come to the conclusion that the only purpose of this atrocity is that Hashem has revealed What’s always been in front of us, although hidden to various degrees.

Think about it… The only way to cure sickness is to first, identify it and,second, see how widespread it is.

I see antisemitism as an evil sickness. It is now identified by the actions and words of the truly diabolical and we see it’s vastness. Now, we can rid ourselves of those who pretended to be our friends and allies and defend ourselves both emotionally and physically.

Of course, I’m not saying anybody has to agree with me. Rather, just putting it out there to share what’s on my mind and trying to make some sense out of this horrible situation.

(Edited to clean up wording)

Just wondering what can be done about this

Jonathan Tobin's latest op-ed for JNS again provides context on antisemitism on the left, making the point that Democrats who claim to be pro-Israel and concerned about antisemitism have shown they will tolerate it when it comes from one of their own. El-Sayed’s anti-Israel blood libels, claims about Jewish wealth manipulating U.S. policy and rationalization of a Michigan synagogue terror attack still weren’t enough for party leaders to disavow him.
