The massacre of the 7th of October 2023 is considered as a dam break in the worldwide flooding of antisemitism. However, it came not as a surprise for antisemitism researchers, since the toxic ground had been laid years before. This memorial speech given in the Austrian Parliament on the national Commemoration Day in Vienna focuses on the eruptions of the age-old hostility towards Jews and the Israelization of antisemitism. Israel related antisemitism is explained here as the modern continuation of classical Jew hatred. Its main distributors and accelerators stem from the educated middle of society. The global lie about Israel is a danger that has to be challenged.
