Proudhon, le père de l'anarchisme, écrit en 1847 sur les Juifs : "Je hais cette nation, il faut accomplir le vœu de Voltaire, la renvoyer à Jérusalem" (carnet V, pp 82 et 83, on notera le terme nation déjà employé ici). Peu de temps après, dans le même sens, il ajoute: "il faut renvoyer cette race en Asie ou l'exterminer" (carnet VI, p. 178).

[1] Judeophobia, from its earliest origins, plays an essential role in the formation of Zionism. Proudhon, the father of anarchism, writes on the subject of the Jews in 1847: "I hate that nation, Voltaire's wish should be fulfilled and it should be sent back to Jerusalem (Diary [Carnet] V, pp. 82-83; note how the term nation is used here). A little later he adds, in the same vein: "This race must be sent back to Asia, or exterminated." (Diary [Carnet] VI, p. 178). Fifty years later, when Herzl's The Jewish State appears, Drumont, a Frenchman alongside whom Le Pen looks like a moderate, "(...) is among the first to react and applaud", and after that "... he shows the same enthusiasm several months later on the occasion of the first Zionist congress in Basel" (Kauffmann Grégoire, Edouard Drumont, Perrin, 2008, p. 318). "Were it not for Drumont, I would never have felt myself a Jew", writes Max Nodereau, on the other hand, one of the most important Zionist leaders of that era (Kaufman, ant. cit.) [return]
