What I find so curious is the failure to factor in Christian anti-semitism which the Nazi’s capitalized on. A great example is Poland which were segregating, dehumanising and murdering them. Such beliefs which demonized Jews are very real in 2023 Poland. This I think is a huge omission.

And this is something very insightful in Arendt - which is the idea that Modern Antisemitism has very little relation to "religious Jew-hate". Antisemites are not basing their beliefs of religious beliefs, and when we see them cite things that seem religious (e.g. Blood Libel) it's downstream of their Antisemitism rather than the cause of it.

People in Israel should be listening and understanding this, more than non-jewish people.

You can not address these chapters if you don't establish what Jewish is, why must totalitarians of western Europe destroy it? In another sense why can't the inculcatation of social forms of anti Semitism suffice for the purposes of total political power? A plank of antisemitism suggests a difference from a faction that rejects the explicit politicization of antisemitism. I.e. a distinctly Jewish threat. Of course the real threat to total power is not merely the social attitudes - it seems obvious that the Jewish members of society could ever without ceasing to be Jewish be relied upon, tolerate, or contribute politically to a totalitarian political order - why? Christians and maybe other subctures are politically innocuous? Or in other words, and mostly in tact socially, historically they proved willing agents in the construction of 2 out of 5 of the world's "most" totalitarian empires with little threat to their identity- internally problematic as that is.

Judeausm is a middle eastern religion, largely associated with communism in my opinion. But the nation state is important if you want to have roots in a place with customs and culture. She makes it too complicated. Arendt hated the nation state.

Even if it was Mongolian or martian, it still has all the ugly characteristics of organized religion. Duty. Obedience. Less Rights For Women and Children. And Totally Top Down. Big deal if it's that complicated.
