On Antisemitism Solidarity and the Struggle for Justice eBook Jewish Voice for Peace Judith Butler Reviews

According to JVP, there is no anti-Semitism in our modern world- there is only Islamophophia. Where they really lost me in this book? Their claim that Jewish racism towards Arabs is inherited through epigenetics.

They make up history, they make up science. This is not a scholarly publication.

I'd give it 2 stars if it was listed as satire or comedy, but its not.
Important read for our time, includes a diversity of points of view on the topics of antisemitism, racism and Islamophobia.
The whole point of this book, not clear from the title, is that people opposed to the existence of the Jewish state do not automatically deserve the accusation of being antisemitic. I accept the book's premise, because many Jews and others have been anti-Zionist for many reasons ever since the modern concept of Zionism arose. As a supporter of J Street I have spoken against bills and other repressive measures that hinder the free speech rights of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions activists. But there are too many discordant and even bizarre things about this book for it to serve its purpose well. For instance, only two of the many contributors is willing to face the extent of Arab and Moslem anti-Jewish prejudice (which is "old antisemitism" in its most virulent form) and--on top of the terror such people perpetrate overwhelmingly against other Moslems--their violence against Israelis and other Jews. Several authors say that false applications of the term "antisemitic" to anti-Zionists have weakened the response of the Jewish community to real antisemitism, for which I see no evidence. One author claims that Jews are no long major participants to African-American rights movements, which I see on a daily basis to be false. I won't take up more space with the attitudes with which I disagree, because the authors apply a rigid template to a complex Middle Eastern situation, but I will admit that I learned several useful perspectives from it, such as the roles of Mizrahi Jews, who make up the majority of Israelis and are in the U.S. as well.
Wonderful idea, essays by many individual, very informative.
This book helped me understand antisemitism - how it has endured as an ideology of hatred throughout the millennium but has been transformed into an ideology of racism and oppression in recent decades. These seminal writers explained the difference between Christian anti-Semitism and Islamic anti-Semitism. Authors explain how the creation of the State of Israel as a Jewish state (not a democratic state), buttressed by a right-wing political Zionism, resulted in progressive social justice movements relinquishing fights against anti-Semitism. It is essential reading for people who struggle for social justice and who clearly link the struggles against racism with the struggle against anti-Semitism and for the liberation of Palestinian people.
