Parece que o antissemitismo voltou à "moda" - Livro: The New American Anti-Semitism: The Left, the Right, and the Jews, Benjamin Ginsberg

 

The New American Anti-Semitism: The Left, the Right, and the Jews is a powerful call to action—one that boldly confronts one of the most pressing issue of our day. 

This NEW RELEASE is for anyone and everyone concerned with the rising threat of bigotry and hatred in our country. It’s a harsh but necessary wake up call… not only for Jews, but for all Americans.
 
Surprisingly, the most virulent form of anti-Semitism today is the result of toxic identity politics and anti-Israeli sentiment coming from today’s political Left.
 
Perhaps the most persecuted people in all of history, Jews have stood tall in the face of unprecedented persecution in all places, at all times. Their culture’s rigorous emphasis on education and achievement catapults them to the upper echelons of the societies in which they live.
 
But their success too often breeds resentment and jealousy, leading to an ugly anti-Semitism that has led, historically, to unspeakable violence.
 
In this urgent new work, Dr. Benjamin Ginsberg—political scientist, professor, and bestselling author—exposes the ugly face of this new, progressive anti-Semitism (which is also thriving in Europe).
 
To combat it, he urges American Jews to form new political alliances, particularly with evangelical Christians.
 
The stakes of not doing so, says Ginsberg, are horrifically high—not only for the survival of the Jewish people, but for America’s survival.
 
Jews have been good for America; and America has been good to the Jews.
 
But things can change ... and Jews can never afford to forget their history.
