In a Jewish perspective Brian Klug offers, Jews, as Jews, are woven into the crisis of New Europe, which simultaneously is a crisis in Judaism. For New Europe is still haunted by Old Europe's \u2018Jewish Question\u2019; and Jews are too. The general sense of this toxic question (whose roots lie in antiquity) is this: \u201cWhat should Europe do with its Jews?\u201d With the change from Old to New, Jews have gone from foil to model: from internal alien to \u201cthe first, the oldest Europeans\u201d (Romano Prodi). The hyphen in \u2018Judeo-Christian\u2019 writes Judaism into the European self. At the same time, Europe is written into the Jewish state: \u201cEurope ends in Israel. East of Israel, there is no more Europe\u201d (Benjamin Netanyahu). This entwining of New Europe and the Jews entails the othering of both Islam and Palestinians. \u201cOh, what a tangled web we weave\u201d (Walter Scott). The lecture will argue that, for the sake of the future, we need to take the web apart at the seams: unweaving it: unravelling Europe's Jewish Question.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brian Klug<\/strong> is Senior Research Fellow in Philosophy at St Benet's Hall, Oxford; member of the faculty of philosophy at the University of Oxford; Honorary Fellow of the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish\/non-Jewish Relations, University of Southampton; and Fellow of the College of Arts and Sciences, Saint Xavier University, Chicago.
