About Tractatus Antisemitico
Tractatus Antisemitico: From Medieval Myths to the October 7th Atrocities traces how medieval libels evolve into modern propaganda and how those myths fuel violence. Drawing on the structured clarity of Tractatus Logico‑Philosophicus, it tests claims against records: texts, maps, treaties, and eyewitness accounts, to separate persuasion from proof. The main reason why this inquiry matters is that false narratives do harm in the world.
On October 7th, 2023, Hamas brought terror to the Nova Festival, flooding the land with violence against civilians. It was a cataclysm of executions, brutality, and mutilations that tears at the fabric of people. This act exposes the toxic mix of ideology and hatred, demanding we face its core.
These quotes echo the struggles of the past.
My purpose will be the following: first, to set out the claims; second, to test them against dated records and primary sources; third, to state conclusions plainly. The record anchors the argument and corrects fear and error so that understanding can follow.
The massacres of history, like those in Alexandria in 38 CE or the horrors of the Black Death in 1348, tell us about cycles of blame. Those events show how lies about Jews led to death and terror, and they link directly to what we see today. By tracing these rivers of violence, we find the reasons behind the cruelty of October 7th. Records from Norwich in 1144, Rome in 1189, and others reveal the persistence of such harms, urging us to stand against them now.

Tractatus Antisemitico: From Medieval Myths to the October 7th Atrocities
These haunting watercolors capture the anguish of Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas during the October 7th, 2023, attacks.
With care and truth, Tractatus Antisemitico urges us to look past false stories and confront the ideas that enable cruelty. What remains clear is our shared duty to resist distortions that have caused pain for too long.
What draws me to the land is its connection to people over centuries. It's a place where settlers built communities and preserved traditions. The names reflect its core identity as belonging to Israel. We see promises from history that shaped its purpose. Even as the name Palestine appeared, it never erased the relationship with the Jewish people. Jewish presence continued amid challenges, and modern pioneers renewed the land.
To understand these stories fully, we must look at the heartbreaking day of October 7th, 2023, when Hamas unleashed brutal violence on innocent Israelis. The records show the clear connection between old myths and new terrorism. The dehumanizing language, the excuses for cruelty, and the blind spots in global reactions all echo through history. Only by seeing this pattern can we address what drives such hatred today.
Sample verses in English and German, patterned after Wittgenstein's style, show structured claims tested against the record.
What's causing the rise in anti-Semitism now? The conflict between Hamas and Israel growing into a fight framed in religious terms. Radical ideas spreading in Muslim communities across Europe. Changes after the Cold War, along with global inequalities from trade and finances, and how some see the United States as the source of their hardships. These forces blend together to fuel the fire.
One can distinguish several phases in the structure. The chapter on Blood Libels shows how medieval accusations reappear in modern forms. The BDS section treats boycotts in historical sequence and in campus practice. The Sexual Violence chapter records how Hamas weaponized assault on October 7, with evidence and law in view.
In the chapter on Palestinian National Identity, I address the mix of genuine hopes and political narratives. I respect Palestinian stories but point out where rhetoric crosses into hatred against Israel. My goal is to find the human truth in all this.
With careful records and a commitment to clarity, Tractatus Antisemitico invites us to question false narratives and stand up to ideas that allow brutal acts. It is a call to defend fact over fiction, against forces that have harmed the Jewish people for centuries and still do.
