"How can a Jew, in this case Eric Zemmour, embody the extreme right in France today?
How did Judaism become compatible with such ideas? The rarely asked question is simple, the answer is more difficult", asks the author in the introduction to the new Charlie Hebdo article, promising an overview of the trend of "Judeo-fascism". According to the author, the basis of the phenomenon is the Jew, who is "able to ignore himself". "In Eastern Europe, Péter Jakab, the young leader of Jobbik, the Hungarian neo-Nazi party, is an interesting example of this tendency.
This political formation wants to sell itself as post-fascist in 2021, because the elections are approaching and Europe is uncertain," the author begins the section concerning Péter Jakab. However, according to William Erner, voters "are not fans of post-fascism and just want to be fascists."
"Apparently, this is not a problem for Péter Jakab, whose great-grandfather died in Auschwitz. Because he was Jewish. His grandmother converted to Christianity. Because he was Jewish. Does Péter Jakab feel Jewish? Without a doubt, Hitler would have considered him so," the author writes about the Jobbik president.
"We owe the term 'Nazi Jews' to the late Israeli philosopher Yeshayahou Leibowitz. It would be complicated to use it for Jakab and his family, because Leibovitz used it to denote the nationalist Israeli settlers in a different context," says William Erner.
The author still classifies Péter Jakab - perhaps due to lack of information - to the extreme right, and mentions the politician of the left coalition alongside Eric Zémmour and Benjamin Netanyahu, who recently visited our country. As he writes, they "do not hesitate to express their sympathy for right-wing leaders such as Modi in India or Orbán in Hungary.
He is also part of this strange Jewish gang. who are supporters of the extreme right. To this list we could add Marcel Yaron Goldhammer: this German-Israeli man was a candidate on an AFD list in Berlin in the recent German elections".
"The phenomenon that some Jews "turn to the right" is not new. In the United States, former left-wing and even communist Jews converted to neoconservatism. People like Saul Bellow, Norman Podhoretz, or even Allan Bloom.
This trend was particularly noticeable during the Reagan years, but it was not accompanied by a change in the American "Jewish vote". In the United States, denominational votes are measured by polling institutes, and the majority of American Jews are still "liberal," in other words, they vote for the left," the article states.
The author's conclusion is that these "strange Judeo-fascists" actually belong to the postmodern phenomenon that they criticize so sharply, after "their birth identity is erased from their political decisions, which is because these decisions are stronger than the roots they received."
"The identity we give ourselves, the identity we create for ourselves, triumphs over the identity we were born with.
When a Jew can defend Pétain, for example, it means that the power of the will has triumphed over identity. Against his will, Zemmour is ultimately just as constructivist as the »gender theorists« he criticizes", concludes the Charlie Hebdo publicist in his article.
