In its September issue “Anti-Anti-Semitism,” TEXTE ZUR KUNST takes a clear stand against any form of hostility toward Jewish people. Together with the art historian Sabeth Buchmann, the editor Isabelle Graw, and the freelance author Aram Lintzel, the editorial team developed the concept for this issue not only to critically reflect on the massive increase in anti-Semitic discrimination but also to focus on the complexity of Jewish art and cultural practices. Anti-Semitism in the art world is discussed here, as well as anti-Semitic implications of the BDS movement and artistic procedures for dealing with anti-Semitism. Yet, in conceiving this issue of TEXTE ZUR KUNST, we did not mean to discuss solely the anti-Semitism of “those others” (Holocaust deniers, conspiracy theorists, and hate-mongers): we wanted to explore the—often implicit and latent—anti-Semitism “among us,” which is to say, among people who see themselves as leftists and left liberals.
