Orientalism structurally mirrors Western anti-Semitism as a secret sharer

Evidence

I have found myself writing the history of a strange, secret sharer of Western anti-Semitism. That anti-Semitism and, as I have discussed it in its Islamic branch, Orientalism resemble each other very closely is a historical, cultural, and political truth that needs only to be mentioned to an Arab Palestinian for its irony to be perfectly understood. — Edward W. Said, Orientalism, 101

Categorization

• XREF: Strong cross-domain parallel the reader may carry to Islamophobia studies — the two processes of othering share machinery even where their targets differ.
• QUESTION: Said’s parallel between Orientalism and anti-Semitism is striking — is the resemblance structural, historical, or both?
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Edward W. Said, Orientalism, 101
