Hannah Arendt's THE ORIGINS OF TOTALITARIANISM appeared in 1951. One-fourth of the book was devoted to anti-Semitism. Today, her point is truer than ever. The leadings totalitarians of the day, Kim Jong-il, Hugo Chavez, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, are united in an effort to destroy Israel and its people.
