All anti-Semitism is Racism
Historically, we have seen three distinct types of anti-Semitism:
a.Religious: You may not live here as a Jew: Convert.
b. Political: You may not live here: Leave
c. Racial: You are sub-human: you may not live.
Nazism articulated the highest thoroughgoing operational iteration of Racial anti-Semitism, and more: Racial anti-Semitism overwhelms the earlier two and has made them, for, Jew-haters, irrelevant bc
1. to those kinds of ‘minds’, it has conferred a kind of ‘scientific’ authority and
2. once one accepts and/or acts on a theory of Racial anti-Semitism, there is no going back bc (a) and (b) seem such a mild construction: since the Second War, no ‘solution’ that is not ‘final’ will do for these people, has any appeal to the racist.
All anti-Semitism is now Racial. Not since 1945 can any other ‘solution’ answer.
The upshot is that we can say with some real assurance that while Hitler lost the Second War, Nazism won and remains a victor, percolating above or below societal surfaces wherever Jews are…and aren’t (as we know one needn’t ever have met a Jew to want all Jews dead).

In the US, mostly. Right-wing antisemitism is racial, but is left-wing? And I’m not completely sure about Middle Eastern antisemitism. I don’t know how Imams would react to Jewish converts to Islam.

Religious anti-Semitism is simply passe, as is politically-based Jew-hatred…it has been overwhelmed, swallowed.
