Publisher's Summary

There has been a disturbing rise in antisemitism in Europe over the last 15 years or so, with violent attacks on Jewish targets, increased verbal antisemitism and an acceptability in many circles of what would hitherto have been condemned as outrageous antisemitic discourse. More recently, the Labour party have come under fire for engaging in antisemitic abuse. Yet despite the dramatic increase in debate and discussion around antisemitism, there is a general sense of confusion about what should and shouldn't be defined as antisemitism - and particularly around criticism of the State of Israel. 

In this urgently needed book, Rabbi Julia Neuberger uses contemporary examples, along with historical context, to unpack what constitutes antisemitism, building a powerful argument for why it is so crucial that we come to a shared understanding now, and exploring ways of dealing with it. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An eminent English rabbi’s perspective on antisemitism

Julia Neuberger is a well known and well respected speaker in the UK, and it is helpful to hear her views on the reemergence of antisemitism in Britain and elsewhere. I was more convinced by her description of antisemitism within the Labour Party than by the proclamations in the right wing tabloid press, who have a long history of anti-Jewish headlines and seemed to me more determined to prevent the election of a Labour government than to support British Jews.
Julia Neuberger is fair minded and balanced in her discussion of the reappearance of a vile prejudice in the 21st century.
