Never have these sentiments been so publicly expressed and met so little intellectual and political resistance as they have since the year 2000. As the number of anti-Jewish incidents escalates  the anti-racist demonstrations that ordinarily would respond to them are nowhere in sight. Important questions therefore need to be put now about the shockingly common acceptance of anti-Semitic attitudes and behavior. In this important book  Mr. Taguieff surveys the landscape of contemporary anti-Semitism  describing its leading figures  the role of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians  the Islamic influence in promoting anti-Zionism  and the blindness  complacency  or connivance of various institutions  groups  and individuals. The new wave of anti-Semitism spreading around the world  the author shows  is based on a polemical and fanciful amalgam of Jews  Israelis  and \"Zionists\" as representatives of an evil power. In the eyes of the new anti-Jews  the worlds ills can be explained by Israels existence. The chief accusation  purveyed especially by international Islamic circles and the heirs to Third Worldism  is that \"Zionism \" far from being a respectable nationalism like that of the Palestinians  is actually a form of colonialism  imperialism  and racism. The old European anti-Semitism  Mr. Taguieff notes  was a particular kind of racism  directed against Jews. The new worldwide anti-Semitism seeks to turn the charge of racism against the Jews.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45924523376693,"sku":"ByrdShop_1566635713","price":239.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781566635714.jpg?v=1787675208","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rising-from-the-muck-the-new-antisemitism-in-europe-9781566635714","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
