Resurgence of Anti-Semitism - Jews, Israel, and Liberal Opinion

Informationen zum Autor By Bernard Harrison - Foreword by Alvin H. Rosenfeld Klappentext Written by a non-Jewish analytic philosopher, this book addresses the issue of whether, and to what extent, current opposition to Israel on the liberal-left embodies anti-Semitic stances. It argues that the dominant climate of liberal opinion disseminates, however inadvertently, a range of anti-Semitic assertions and motifs of the most traditional kind. It advocates a return to an unrestricted anti-racism which would allow liberals to defend Palestinian interests without demonizing Jews. Zusammenfassung Addresses the issue of whether! and to what extent! the opposition to Israel on the liberal-left embodies anti-Semitic stances.
