| In the 1970 s and 1980 s,under the influence of historical factors and social environment,anti-Semitism rose on French university campuses.The anti-Semitic tradition in French society is deeply rooted,and the shadow of anti-Semitism has been Shadowed ever since the diaspora Jews participated in French history.After the Six Day War,the international image of Israel changed from a victim in the Second World War to an aggressor in the Middle East War,and the relations between France and Israel became cold under the changing international situation.The French government condemned Israel’s actions during the Six-Day War as hegemonic,and voices in society questioned whether Jews were loyal enough to the country in which they actually lived.After facing up to history and correcting the anti-Semitic inertia of World War II,France has been silent for only a few years,and the anti-Semitic voices in the society are mainly based on excessive criticism of Israel,seeking to erase the existence of Israel,and making groundless accusations and insults against the Jews.At the same time,the New Left inspired French students and intellectuals,strengthened their desire to express their political demands,and gave them the hope to realize their political ambitions and the courage to act on them.It should not be ignored that radical new Left ideas also stimulated the expression of extreme claims in this group.In the 1970 s and 1980 s,French universities were undergoing a period of change after the Mai 68 : the management deadlock was broken,the Higher Education Guidance Act gave French universities greater management freedom,more students participated in the daily management of universities,and intellectuals began to reflect and redefine their roles in public affairs.In the relatively free environment of public opinion on university campuses,anti-Semites are also active on campus.Anti-Semitism on French university campuses permeates the academic and daily lives of teachers and students.The denialism represented by Robert Faurisson has triggered a heated discussion in French society.Denialist scholars questioned the truth of the Holocaust,and activists argued that Jewish lies had deceived the world once again.During this period,student movements in France declined,and anti-Semitic propaganda on university campuses was dominated by the ubiquitous form of insulting posters,slogans,and graffiti.Anti-Semitic violence,occurred on campus,the most egregious of which was a bomb attack on a university restaurant serving kosher food on Street Médicis that injured at least 26 people.At first,the incident caused widespread concern and strong protests from all walks of life in France,but in retrospect,it did not receive enough attention.Under the influence of the French environment and the intensifying conflict in the Middle East,the anti-Semitic activities of radical Muslim teachers and students on French university campuses have become more impulsive and more intense.In that period,the anti-Semitism on the French university campus was consistent with the anti-Semitism in the French society of the same period in terms of the target of attack,the form was varied,and the rationality of hatred was pursued.Jewish students in France have spoken out against anti-Semitism through the Union of Jewish Students in France.At the same time,some Jewish students chose to draw closer to Zionism,and organized activities in collaboration with French university students,including attempts to unite with Muslim students in antiracist perspectives to deal with rising anti-Semitism.Influenced by the interaction between universities and society,the anti-Semitism on French university campuses has played a leading and promoting role while keeping the basic synchronization with the society.Even in modern times,the shadow of anti-Semitism has not disappeared from French society. |
