Description
Contemporary Left Antisemitism explores the subtle yet pervasive forms of antisemitism that can be found in democratic spaces, including trade unions, churches, and liberal politics. The author examines how criticism of Israel can escalate into antisemitism and how struggles over definition often lead to accusations of bad faith.
The book delves into the ways in which hostility to Israel has become a marker of identity, linked to opposition to imperialism, neo-liberalism, and global capitalism. It reveals how this toxic form of thinking can be used to delegitimize Jewish people and communities.
