[mosse lecture] – Shaul Magid: »On the Obsession with Defining Antisemitism«
Aufzeichnung der MOSSE LECTURE von Shaul Magid am 10. Juli 2025: »On the Obsession with Defining Antisemitism: Why Do Jews Find It So Difficult to Talk about Antisemitism Today?« Gespräch mit: Stefanie Schüler-Springorum. Einführung: Michael Kämper-van den Boogaart. Whereas Jews have often disagreed on almost all matters of their history and identity, one of the things they all seemed to agree about is antisemitism. Yet in our time there has been a robust debate among Jews about what constitutes antisemitism. Various documents have been written trying to define antisemitism, and various organizations have sparred about implementing those definitions. In this lecture I will discuss this problem in three parts. First, I will discuss the concept of »eternal antisemitism« that is, the claim that antisemitism is not conditional, contextual, or historical, but somehow »eternal«. Second, I will discuss the debate about the uniqueness of the Holocaust in Jewish scholarship as part of the antisemitism debate. Third, I will discuss questions around the exceptionalism of the state of Israel and how that plays into discussions about antisemitism. I argue that these three issues contribute to why antisemitism is so difficult to define and to discern.
