Description

The use of antisemitism as a charge has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. This book challenges this trend by examining the history of how the term has been used and manipulated to create a sense of crisis without underlying substance. Simon Cohen, a Jewish person, shares his perspective on the abuse of antisemitism and its impact on mainstream Jewish communities. He argues that an ossified sense of Jewish identity has chimed in with divisive populism, leading to a loss of values such as social justice, equity, and challenging the status quo. Cohen's book is a call to challenge the dominant narrative surrounding antisemitism in the UK Labour Party. By exploring the language framing used by the media and certain mainstream Jewish bodies, he sheds light on how meaning and reality have been distorted to serve a particular agenda.
