Anti-Semitism after the Cold War
Anti-Semitism is an ancient and ugly historical phenomenon. Jews scattered around the world have been tortured and tortured by anti-Semitism since the Roman Empire. After World War II, faced with the tragedy of the Nazi Holocaust, the international community made a profound reflection. Strong moral pressure and the joint efforts of the international community made anti-Semitism greatly converge for a long time after World War II. After the Cold War, due to the collapse of the original bipolar international structure, the international community began a new round of differentiation and combination. In the new international environment, a new kind of anti-Semitism has reappeared on a global scale, and it is likely to reappear. The purpose of this paper is to explore the manifestations, characteristics and influence of international anti-semitism after the cold war, so that readers can have a new understanding of anti-semitism in the international community after the cold war and ask local experts for advice.

First, the main manifestations of international anti-Semitism after the Cold War

Mr. Xu summarized several main forms of anti-Semitism in history in the book "Cactus in the Desert: Jewish Sketch" [2]: the mark of shame; Du Ge (ghetto, also translated as "Du Ge"); Defamation, etc In fact, in addition, there are many other forms of anti-Semitism in history, such as desecrating Jewish holy things, violently attacking Jews, and even killing people. Anti-Semitism after the Cold War still retains some main forms of traditional anti-Semitism in history, but at the same time, some new faces have emerged. In short, there are mainly the following.

1, denying the holocaust. During World War II, Nazi fascism committed many crimes, which has long been the historical conclusion of the Nuremberg trial. However, since 1970s and 1980s, there has been a trend of "revisionism" and "Holocaust denial", which is a new form of anti-Semitism.

1979, the European Association for Freedom of Expression held its first "Holocaust Revision" conference in Kassel, Germany. Since then, this new form of anti-Semitism has spread all over the world. Revisionists usually put their publications in a serious package in the name of academics, and often claim that they have nothing to do with neo-Nazi groups in order to find readers outside the right wing. The usual methods of revisionists are: forging historical materials; Pretending to be an authority or hiding behind your back; Selling relevant arguments on the grounds of academic contention; Using the public's belief in natural science, using hypothetical research to try to prove the unreliability of the gas chambers in Nazi concentration camps, and so on. Their main viewpoints are [3]: Hitler, as the "head of state", did not give the order of the Holocaust at that time, nor did he know about the genocide of Jews; Crematorium can't get the exact number of people killed; Only tens of thousands of Jews died in World War II, most of them died of hunger and disease. The figure of 6 million is fictitious. The Nuremberg trial was a hoax; The memories of survivors are not credible; Auschwitz is not a death camp; Churchill and Eisenhower did not mention the gas chamber and genocide project in their memos; Annie. Frank's diary is also a scam, with many incredible places; The tyranny of Jews is the product of abnormal conditions in wartime, and only traitors, spies, criminals and so on will be persecuted.

If the main purpose of Japanese right-wing forces denying the crime of World War II is that politicians want to achieve their political goal of "becoming a normal big country", then this "revisionism" of denying the Holocaust is more for nationalist or anti-Semitic purposes. Some scholars have pointed out that whether denying Nazi crimes or trying to minimize the crimes of Nazi war criminals, we should not go out for such a purpose [4]: to revive the traditional Nazi ideology by alleviating the war crimes of Nazi war criminals; By denying the crime of the Nazi Holocaust during World War II, it questioned the legitimacy of Israel's existence, and at the same time took the opportunity to criticize the government's policy of returning Jewish property and compensating Jews.

2. Blasphemy and violent crimes are mainly blasphemy against Jewish holy things and personal attacks and violent crimes against Jews. Insults, slanders and personal attacks on Jews, including desecration of Jewish sacred objects, are actually traditional forms of anti-Semitism. After the cold war, the number of such attacks against Jews remained high (see table below).
