Verso Publishes Interview with notorious Anti-Semite: Houria Bouteldja.
God will open other ways for us – inshallah.
A couple of weeks ago Verso published a reverential interview with this type.
‘The witch, that suits everyone’: Interview with Houria Bouteldja
Why do your critics accuse you of being anti-Semitic?
To start with, they should know what anti-Semitism is. Secondly, they cite for example my story about the little boy wearing the yarmulke [from the book Whites, Jews, and Us: Toward a Politics of Revolutionary Love https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/whites-jews-and-us): ‘The worst thing is the look in my eyes when I pass a child wearing a yarmulke in the street. That furtive moment when I stop to look at him. The worst thing is the disappearance of my indifference towards you, the possible prelude to my inner ruin’], saying that this is anti-Semitism. Except that I am not talking about myself as an actual anti-Semite, but the process of becoming an anti-Semite (‘the possible prelude to my inner ruin’), which is what I say in the text that I fear.
Moreover, I dare to say, as Frantz Fanon said: ‘A society is either racist or it is not.’ Being myself an element of this society, I am affected by racism in one way or another. And that is true of all other oppressions.
So, in the remarks that you are attacked for you speak as a French person, with the legacy of what France has done to Jews, while people who criticise you have seen a sign of so-called ‘Arab-Muslim anti-Semitism’?
Yes, in this passage, I am talking about my relationship to Jews as a product of French society. The society in which we all live. I am talking about the degradation of the relationship between Indigenes and Jews. I am thinking about [neofascist and fake “anti-Zionist”] Alain Soral, about how more and more Indigènes become anti-Semitic because they live in a racist society. That it is the nation-state that imposes a hierarchy in which Jews are in some sense better treated. The Indigènes de la République know that Jews are also a kind of Indigène. But the ordinary Indigène thinks that there is no reason why Jews should be cossetted and not them. Then there are integrationist Indigènes who, instead of questioning the White hierarchy and supremacy, want to simply take the place of the Jew.
Make of this gibberish what you will.
There is a gradual evolution of Jews towards the right and towards Zionism, whereas previously they were on the far left. That is not essentialising. Given the assumption that a society is racist or not, then a society is either anti-Semitic or not. Given that we live in an anti-Semitic society, we are probably more or less anti-Semitic.
Here is the same racist scum ‘imagining’ what is Israel, Mediapart this week.
Palestine was not colonised by populations claiming to be part of Judaism but by Tatars who claim (why not?) Tatarism.
It was not Herzl who wrote “State of the Jews” in 1896 but a Tatar.
The participants of the first Zionist congress in Basel which took place in 1897 were not Jews but Tatars
The Balfour Declaration written by the British Foreign Minister on November 2, 1917, is not addressed to Lionel Walter Rothschild as the main financier of the Zionist movement but to a Tatar.
The first settlers, better known under the name of “lovers of Zions” (1880), were not Jews but Tatars.
Verso’s heroine refers to the case, this week, of the filth that was poured on Miss Provence, a contestant in the national beauty competition who was subjected to a torrent of abuse for her Jewish origins, *
Making anti-Semitism a national scandal and minimising negrophobia is in fact worse than the famous “double standards” that we use on all occasions. It is even worse than the expression of dubious philosemitism. It is in fact, to organize the war between the “racialised” Jews and the natives, to point out and deliver the Jews to the native vindictiveness (precisely the experience that Miss Provence has just lived) while making invisible the root causes of structural racism whose anti-Semitism and negrophobia are inseparable.
Verso should follow Mediapart after the reaction when they published such vile trash.
Ce billet a été dépublié par la rédaction de Mediapart car il ne respecte pas la Charte de participation.

Update:
* The runner-up of the Miss France 2021 competition has been subjected to a torrent of anti-Semitic abuse on social media, prompting outrage and a police investigation.
April Benayoum, 21, was awarded second place in the pageant during a televised ceremony on Saturday.
She revealed her Israeli origins in an interview at the event, leading to anti-Semitic attacks on Twitter.

“Au cours d’un débat dans l’émission Ce soir (ou jamais !), le politologue Thomas Guénolé interpelle Houria Bouteldja, également invitée, en déclarant : « Il y a une partie de l’antiracisme, et cela me fait beaucoup de peine de dire cela, qui est devenue raciste. Je parle de vous Madame Bouteldja. » Il poursuit en accusant Houria Bouteldja d’être raciste, misogyne et homophobe, en citant les divers propos et écrits de cette dernière sur les Juifs, les Blancs, les femmes, les couples mixtes et les homosexuels.
