This book deals with a wide range of moral, social, and political
issues, centered on questions of identity, Jewish or otherwise. The
books scope extends from anti-Semitism, Zionism, and Palestinian
terrorism to the language of race, the status of animals, the
rights of the child, and related topics. While the chapters
interact and overlap, each is self-contained. Taken together, they
develop the title theme: the inner connection between being Jewish
and doing justice. The prologue offers a bold, new interpretation
of the idea of 'the people of God.' From this point on, bringing
argument to life is the author's watchword. Drawing on his training
as an academic philosopher, his Jewish education, and personal
experience, author Brian Klug tackles thorny problems, combining
rigorous analysis with outspokenness. He assists readers to think
for themselves about difficult questions and provokes them to do
so. The questions and issues discussed include: Is anti-Zionism a
form of anti-Semitism? * Who were Herzl's Jewish opponents in the
East End? * Are anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism inextricably
entangled? * What draws America to Israel and what ties Israel to
Auschwitz? * How can the climate of debate about Israel among Jews
be improved? * What does it mean to say that Israel has a 'right to
exist?' * Whither the Jewish future? * The 'race question' on the
UK census form * Arthur Balfour's take on 'the Jewish race' *
Ethnicity in America * Black-Jewish relations in Chicago * Popular
attitudes in Britain towards the 'ritual' slaughter of animals *
The treatment of animals in the abattoir and laboratory.
