Today in South America anti-Semitic propaganda is the safety valve for regimes with discontented populations. In Argentina rumours are circulating of an Israeli plot to use parts of mountainous Patagonia as a gigantic freezer for Jewish produce. The Government turns the screw on the population at large, the population blames Jews, the status quo is maintained. But if the Jews were all one race in this sense, they should be one big happy family. Instead recent Israeli news reports have drawn attention to Jews of Ethiopian origin encountering racism from white Jews.
Race continues to mean now one thing, now another because it has no meaning in itself.
To make sense out of the nonsense one has to look for the real reasons behind the racial ones. We need only look at the changing face of racism in Europe. Foreigners' are the victims of this new super-nationalism. Ethnic discrimination and racial discrimination become the same thing. The visible face of all this fractiousness is the racist on the street spraying graffito on a wall or pushing excrement through a letter box.
