Dif- ference is no crime, but rather the opportunity for growth of the human spirit. The third illusion is that Haman was finally and total- ly defeated, and the forces of evil were overcome. Throughout the centuries of the Diaspora, the Jew lived with anti-Semitism as the condition of his existence, as an ineradicable element of his environment. Hence, the Jewish folk proverb "So many Hamans, only one Purim." Anti-Semitism is one of the most persistent forms of social illness that Western civilization has known. We who live in this great democracy have not ex- perienced the ugliness and savagery that has characterized the outbreak of violent anti-Semitism in prac- tically all the countries of Europe. Anti-Semitism is alive at the United Nations which has declared Israel a pariah state. Anti-Semitism is imbedded in some of the social structures of our culture and in the at- titudes of many individuals. It would be a great illusion to believe that this sickness has disappeared. It has become muted, suppressed, subter- rean as it acquires new forms that are more subtle, and therefore not subject to direct refutation. I refer to Arab anti-Semitism that is over and beyond political conflict; the anti-Semitism in some segments of minority groups, in Third-World spokesmen, and even the American upper class. We have concern also about the number of authors who claim that the Holocaust did not happen, or that the tragedy that befell the Jews in Nazi Europe was no dif- ferent than the suffering of the occupied countries. By spreading these lies, the forces of hate seek to confuse and bewilder the ignorant and deny the moral claim of the State of Israel on the con- science of the world. Purim instructs us to remember Haman and to recognize the persistence of his spirit in the anti- Semitism of our time which appears in guises not as visibly offensive as the crude attack of earlier periods. We must utilize every effort to overcome a widespread ig- norance about the Holocaust, Israel and the Jewish heritage, an ignorance which can be exploited and manipulated by anti-Semitic propaganda. By drowning out the name of Haman while we listen to the Purim story, we commit ourselves to the elimination of his evil design from our midst.
