Against the New Anti-Semitism: Remembering the Holocaust Protects Us All
THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!Not often is a philosopher called upon to speak in this forum.
This is one of the first times (Elie Wiesel and Jiddu Krishnamurti came before me) that a writer has stood at this dais from which so many great voices have rung out and where the cause of peace and brotherhood among peoples has achieved some of its most important and noble advances.
It is therefore with great emotion and with a deep sense of honor that I address you today.

But you invited me, this morning, not to hear me hold forth on the honor and nobility of humanity but rather to lament the renewed advance of the radical inhumanity, the total baseness, that is anti-Semitism.
