Tassa kosher

La tassa kosher si riferisce a una leggenda urbana, in chiave antisemita, secondo la quale i consumatori di ristoranti con specialità culinarie ebraiche pagherebbero inconsapevolmente una "tassa" extra sul consumo, che verrebbe poi destinata dai sionisti al sostegno della causa di Israele. La pretesa secondo cui i consumatori sarebbero sottoposti a questa tassa è stata avanzata da varie parti[1]. Analoghe affermazioni vorrebbero che la "tassa" sia "estorta" alle aziende alimentari, desiderose di sottrarsi al boicottaggio.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Nonostante non si tratti puramente di una teoria antisemita, né di ipotesi di complotto, molte associazioni e personalità si sono espresse al riguardo. Secondo la professoressa di sociologia all'università di Pittsburgh, Kathleen M. Blee, si tratta di una credenza fondamentalmente razzista nata per boicottare e far decadere il mercato culinario ebraico.[7]

La credenza in Canada

In un rapporto della B'nai Brith Canada sugli incidenti antisemiti in territorio canadese, si sono registrati casi di denunce da parte della popolazione per via della "tassa kosher", che richiedevano il rimborso delle inconsapevoli spese tramite imposte sul reddito.[8]

Nel 1997, tramite l'agenzia di stampa Canada Revenue Agency si veniva a sapere dell'esistenza di una aggressiva forma pubblicitaria per spargimento di volantini che avvertiva la popolazione sulla cautela nel comprare prodotti kosher e consumare in ristoranti ebraici, perché il ricavato andava a una "organizzazione ebraica internazionale" che si occupava proprio dello smercio di queste merci per alimentare il proprio giro d'affari. Rispondendo al fenomeno di questi frequenti volantini, il ministro delle entrate nazionali Jane Stewart annunciò il più profondo sdegno per l'accaduto e un invito ai canadesi a ignorare i testi di questa leggenda metropolitana.[9]

    «Il lato oscuro di questo commercio, è che alcuni gruppi d'odio antisemita hanno sviluppato una teoria bizzarra e senza fondamento, secondo cui esiste una "tassa kosher" sul cibo, che va a prolificare un complotto ebraico che vuole estorcere quanto più denaro a una larga popolazione.»

    «Media Bypass, for one, offered a story about a 'Kosher Nostra scam,' in which 'major food companies throughout America actually pay a Jewish Tax amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars per year in order to receive protection' against Jewish boycotts. These 'elaborate extortion schemes' are coordinated, alleges writer Ernesto Cienfuegos, by 'Rabbinical Councils that are set up, not just in the U.S. but in other western countries as well.'»

    «Some antisemitic myths continued to proliferate through the year 2000. The Kosher Tax myth claims that the purchase of foods with a kosher symbol on it means that a portion of that money constitutes a tax which benefits the Jewish people. Individuals are advised to go to their cupboards and estimate the worth of all the foods which have those "hidden" symbols on them and claim the money back from the government in their tax returns. Many of the alerts that our offices received about the distribution of the "Kosher Tax" advisories were from accountants who received them as a mailing or were given them along with instructions from their clients to include the material in their taxes. According to these accountants, the people who wanted the refund were not antisemites per se but had received the letters and were ignorant to the meaning of the symbols on the groceries. However, it could be said that those fooled were all too ready to believe the message of the advisories that Jews are sneakily trying to extort money from an unsuspecting public.»
