This volume features powerful essays by Edward Alexander on the
phenomenon of anti-Zionism on the part of the Jewish
intelligentsia. It also analyses the explosive growth of
traditional anti-Semitism, especially in Europe, among
intellectuals and Muslims. Alexander notes that anti-Zionism has
established a presence even in Israel, where it frequently takes
the form of intellectuals sympathizing with their country's enemies
and perversely apologizing for their own existence. Alexander
begins with an examination of the origins of Jewish self-hatred in
nineteenth-century Europe. He then explores the mindset of
disaffected Jews in reacting, or failing to react, to the two
events that shape modern Jewry: the Holocaust and the founding of
the State of Israel. The book concludes with a focus on
contemporary anti-Zionism, including three essays about the role
played by Jews in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement
to expel Israel from the family of nations. A final essay addresses
the need for American Jews to decide whether they are going to
judge Judaism by the standards of The New York Times or The New
York Times by the standards of Judaism.
