The recent rise of antisemitism in the United States has been well
documented and linked to groups and ideologies associated with the
far right. In From Occupation to Occupy, Sina Arnold argues that
antisemitism can also be found as an "invisible prejudice" on the
left. Based on participation in left-wing events and
demonstrations, interviews with activists, and analysis of
left-wing social movement literature, Arnold argues that a pattern
for enabling antisemitism exists. Although open antisemitism on the
left is very rare, there are recurring instances of "antisemitic
trivialization," in which antisemitism is not perceived as a
relevant issue in its own right, leading to a lack of empathy for
Jewish concerns and grievances. Arnold's research also reveals a
pervasive defensiveness against accusations of antisemitism in
left-wing politics, with activists fiercely dismissing the
possibility of prejudice against Jews within their movements and
invariably shifting discussions to critiques of Israel or other
forms of racism. From Occupation to Occupy offers potential
remedies for this situation and suggests that a progressive
political movement that takes antisemitism seriously can be a
powerful force for change in the United States.
