This will be interesting: Friedländer "Während der Antisemitismus weltweit grassiert, wird im Namen postkolonialer Ideen immer stärker Kritik am Holocaust-Gedenken geübt. Doch Auschwitz war etwas völlig anderes als die kolonialen Untaten des Westens." zeit.de/2021/28/holoca…
So SF misreads my catechism pieces in several ways 1) when I talk about UK, US and Israeli elites, I mean their political classes, not "the Jews." That has been obvious to every other reader so far ... 1/
2) Because he confines himself to these short pieces & has not read my book the full argument, he misunderstands how I integrate antisemitism and colonialism. He might have referred to 2010 Festschrift in which I lay it out. He heard the argument from me live at Uni Sussex /2
