Uri Avneri: Self

Quotes 

• Uri Avneri : None of them fights anti-Semitism. They fight criticism of Israel. These are two totally different things. There's hardly any anti-Semitism in the US. It's a myth.

• Interviewer : Are you saying anti-Semitism is an Israeli invention? A Jewish invention?

  Uri Avneri : Anti-Semitism? Anti-Semitism *today* ? All in all, yes. Everybody is scared of anti-Semitism because of its history and Jews have always been terrified. In America, where Jews are so strong and influential, they are scared of their own shadows. Every moment, behind every tree, an anti-Semite hides. Bullshit! There is nothing like that. Anti-Arabs, anti-Muslims, anti-Black, anti whatever you like, yes. Anti-Semites? You'd need a magnifying glass to find them. And there are people who are walking around with this magnifying glass, like Sherlock Holmes, to find anti-Semites.
