Marie Peltier, history teacher at the Haute École Galilée in Brussels, was invited this Tuesday morning to Ilana Ferhadian's microphone in the Morning at 7:45 am on Radio J. She notably returned to the anti-Semitism present in political parties.According to Marie Peltier, “for several years we have had a trivialization of anti-Semitic discourse.What she calls "unconscious anti-Semitism" almost tacit but which is present "in all political families"."There is a particular anchoring on the far right and also in part of the left and the radical left," she said.The history professor explained that "anti-Semitism is in a trivialization of the relationship to genocide that can be found particularly in the demonstrations of recent years", before adding "that it is very dangerous to wear a political claim we identify with and trivialize the Holocaust to present our political opponents as Nazis”.Receive a selection of our podcasts to listen to from Monday to Friday
