Overview
1. This book argues and demonstrates that criticism of Israel and hostility toward Zionism has spilled over into antisemitism and attempts to delegitimize the state of Israel. As these views are becoming more strident and prevalent, this volume explores the origins, manifestations, and methods to combat this rhetoric.
2. The contributors to this volume supply significant historical and global perspective to the problem, which will help the book find a strong audience in the classroom and with researchers of Jewish Studies and Antisemitism studies. It also has potential among general audiences who are interested in making sense of and addressing these current events.
3. Editor Alvin Rosenfeld is a senior scholar of Jewish literature and culture and Director of the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism at Indiana University, which hosts a biennial conference on current topics in antisemitism studies.

What People are Saying About This
"
Beginning with wider perspectives and then narrowing to include national perspectives from Israel, Poland, Germany, South Africa, the Czech Republic, and South Asia, this volume explores the origins that underlie the current reality of antisemitic anti-Zionism, and indeed, it makes the persuasive case that anti-Zionism today is essentially one of the most prominent and pernicious forms of current antisemitism.

This important volume should be of interest to anyone who thinks seriously about the state of Israel and the extraordinary levels of criticism levelled not just against the policies of particular governments, but against the very idea and existence of the state itself. These criticisms are being voiced with growing insistence and attract considerable attention, uncritical approval, and adherence. This volume offers a very different and much needed set of arguments that persuasively counter much of what passes, particularly in progressive circles, for conventional wisdom.
