    Manifestations of Antisemitism in a Cosmopolitan Environment: Analysing Durban II The shifting of single elements of antisemitism in the light of societal and political transformations indicates the dialectics of persistence and change of antisemitic ideology. This paper scrutinises the transformation of antisemitism in a cosmopolitan environment such as the United Nations. The exclusion of Israel from the global community, which is wrongly perceived as homogenous, constitutes its core ideologeme. In our analysis the documents of the 2009 UN World Conference Against Racism (Durban II) and the pertaining preparatory meetings, five topics of cosmopolitanised antisemitism stand out - the obsession with Israel as the sole bearer of blame for the Middle East conflict, the delegitimation of Jewish statehood, the equation of Israel with National Socialism, the Jewish world conspiracy myth, and the hijacking of Jewish Holocaust remembrance.
