  133. The notion of an eternal, essentially unchanging anti-Semitism has been called fundamental to much of the philosophy of Zionism, and long predates the latest Israeli–Palestinian conflict and its repercussions; cf. Arendt, “Zionism Reconsidered,” 225; Howe, World of Our Fathers, 25; Halsell, Prophecy and Politics, 131ff.
