The Arabs have revived both in modern guises in their propaganda campaign against Israel and the Jews. They've even extended the blood libel to Purim, so that they write that Jews use the blood of gentiles in making hamentaschen, not just Pesach matzoh.

They've always flowed against the Jews. Every single pogrom in Europe was started by false rumors about Jews. Not really. They’ve always flowed against the Jews.

I'm a liberal, but there is no question in my mind that anti-Zionism, with the accompanying anti-Semitism, is growing as a movement on the left and this movement can only result in the alienation of Jewish people from the progressive movement because the great majority of Jews, and obviously the Knesset, will never submit to the dissolution of Israel as a Jewish state. Furthermore, of course, how likely is it that a single bi-national state would end up being a secular democracy with equal rights for all? Not bloody likely. What's far more likely is that it would end up being, like all the other Arab states, some form of authoritarian dictatorship and, perhaps, a theocratic one, at that. Idiots.
