Abstract

Since October 7, 2023 at the latest, the question of Islamic anti-Semitism has arisen. This article attempts to look at this from a psychoanalytical perspective. It draws on the analysis of anti-Semitism developed by Béla Grunberger together with Pierre Dessuant. The two authors assume that Freud’s theory of Oedipal development is less helpful for analyzing anti-Semitism than a theory of narcissism. In their study, they use this theory above all to explain the anti-Semitism rooted in Christianity. Based on their findings, this article examines the extent to which Islamic anti-Semitism can also be explained from this perspective.
