Could it is impossible to analyze fertile phenomenon of antisemitism through the conceptual framework of "fair" and "unfair" as it is impossible for example to analyze the phenomenon of racism, trying to answer the question whether they were right the "white" or "black" or the phenomenon of sexism, trying to answer the question whether they are right, the "men" or "women"?
At dawn Friday, July 28, the famous actor Mel Gibson was arrested by the regional sheriff in Pacific Coast Highway why drunk driving. During his arrest Gibson was violent, tried to escape and verbally attacked the institution of the order, insulting the Jewish origins, making anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and arguing with ardor the view that "Jews are responsible o extra for all wars" of the world. To avoid scandal actor issued a statement in which he confessed his crime, namely driving after drinking alcohol, denounced the demon of tequila made him spelled o extra out anti-Semitic obscenities, asked for forgiveness but also the support of the public in agonizing battle against the most serious health problem facing and the implicit dependence on alcohol. No mention was made in the notice to the other "little problem" o extra that seem troubling both he and imatz maker, in this case to racist and anti-Semitic behavior. * H coverage" of the MME The fact itself has of course no particular importance. Moreover, the Australian actor was treated leniently by the courts, since sentenced in absentia to three years in police custody.

It is only natural o extra that today's war in Lebanon creates the conditions that require a broader reflection on the history, geopolitics, political positions, ideological constants, cultural reflexes, the hook, the fluidity of alliances, the understanding o extra of interests. o extra As a result of the war situation, the debate on anti-Semitism in our country takes the form of a historical investigation of "the o extra ptaiei" in the case of the Middle East question. But is it necessary to rule on the law and unjust states, movements, organizations to discuss anti-Semitic reflexes large segments of Western societies left and right of the political firmament?
