ABSTRACT The more than a million, mostly Muslim, arrivals in the European Union in recent years have given mainstream politicians an opportunity to generate and exploit the public racist, xenophobic and ultra-nationalist urges of the sort that had previously been the exclusive preserve of the extreme right. This successful vote-getting strategy hingeS on disassociating ethno-religious hatred, which Islamophobia is, from its most stigmatized example in Europe: antisemitism. Nowhere has this process been clearer than in Hungary, infamous for ‘solving’ the migration crisis by erecting a wire fence along its borders. Viktor Orbán and his ruling Fidesz party have stolen the racist thunder of the far-right Jobbik party, but without the latter’s once open antisemitism. Jobbik has responded by also seemingly renouncing antisemitism, ignoring the protests of its more die-hard neo-Nazi supporters. Kalmar’s article focuses on the government’s use of a conspiracy theory about the Jewish financier George Soros as an example of exploiting antisemitism while claiming to oppose it. It suggests that the process of rejecting antisemitism, if disingenuously, in order to legitimize Islamophobic racism in Hungary is a useful model for examining similar processes in much of the Euro-Atlantic world.

伊斯兰恐惧症和反犹太主义:匈牙利案例和“索罗斯阴谋”

摘要 近年来,超过 100 万(主要是穆斯林)抵达欧盟,这让主流政客有机会产生和利用公共种族主义、仇外和极端民族主义的冲动,而这些冲动以前是欧盟的专属保护。极右。这种成功的选票策略取决于将仇视伊斯兰教的民族宗教仇恨与其在欧洲最臭名昭著的例子:反犹太主义分离。这一过程在匈牙利最为清晰,该国因通过沿边界架设铁丝网来“解决”移民危机而臭名昭著。Viktor Orbán 和他执政的 Fidesz 党偷走了极右翼 Jobbik 党的种族主义风头,但没有后者曾经公开的反犹太主义。乔比克的回应似乎也放弃了反犹太主义,无视其更顽固的新纳粹支持者的抗议。卡尔马的文章侧重于政府使用有关犹太金融家乔治索罗斯的阴谋论作为利用反犹太主义同时声称反对它的例子。它表明,为了使匈牙利的仇视伊斯兰教的种族主义合法化而拒绝反犹太主义的过程,如果是不诚实的,是一个有用的模型,可用于检查欧洲-大西洋世界大部分地区的类似过程。
