Evidence
Freud simply and abruptly puts an end to hostility, to hostilities, understandingly sweeping them under the rug of a history of faith (“I then understand that the case is one like that of Credo quia absurdum”). One may consider that he obscured things further when, in a footnote on Heine (and in the subsequent citation of a dignified and admonishing voice), Freud illustrates the love of neighbor (or what is now the same thing, the love of enemy) with and as a murderous wish. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 136 (
