| Description | Why is antisemitism, at least in its new "respectable" form of antiZionism, now found predominantly on the left of the political spectrum? Why in particular is this new form increasingly common among intellectuals? If we begin by tackling the second question first, we find a curious paradox. Antisemitism is one of the oldest and most persistent forms of human irrationality; yet its theoretical basis has always been the work of intellectuals. The paradox can be explained. It is true that intellectuals seek to understand phenomena by reason. But in their search for radical explanations, which excite the mind by their audacity and comprehensiveness, they tend to stumble into gigantic fallacies. Inside many intellectuals there is a conspiracy theory of the universe struggling to get out, and sometimes succeeding. And antisemitism is the father of all conspiracy theory.
