Summary:

"The New Anti-Semitism by Phyllis Chesler" is a passionate and beautifully written book by a card-carrying radical feminist who is also a religious Jew and a committed Zionist. She demonstrates, by equal portions of hot emotion and cool logic, that she is not the one guilty of inconsistency with her radical principles. It is the new "politically correct" anti-Semites, including many feminists, who have some explaining to do. This book will make you weep. It will also make you angry and frightened. "- Alan Dershowitz, professor, Harvard Law School; author," The Case for Israel"

"I expected eloquent indignation from Phyllis Chesler. What I did not anticipate was the depth of her study of contemporary anti-Semitism, the salient examples she found - a little anthology of dismay - and the fairness of her critique of friends and associates among American leftists, feminists, gay activists, and ideologues. This is an admirable and important book." - Herbert Gold, author, Fathers, "Best Nightmare on Earth," and" Bohemia

"Absolutely amazing, troubling, fierce." The New Anti-Semitism "by Phyllis Chesler is an indispensable guide to the apocalyptic sandstorms our world now faces. A new and virulent anti-Semitism, blessed by Western intellectuals, is changing global assumptions about history and justice and threatening all hopes for peace on our troubled planet. With passionate prose, and a fair-minded philosophical outlook that honors all sides, Phyllis Chesler probes the roots of this scourge. I am stunned by the book; it's brilliant, and must be read and debated. Our lives may depend on it." - Erica Jong, poet and novelist, "Fear of Flying" and "Sappho's Leap"

"There is no trend more shocking or disturbing than the new rise of international anti-Semitism. Phyllis Chesler's book is a stirring call to action for a still-slumbering world." - Joseph Farah, Arab-American founder, editor, and CEO, WorldNetDaily.com; columnist, the Jerusalem Post; and author, "Taking Back America"

"Written in white heat." The New Anti-Semitism "exposes the lies and myths, the envy, corruption, and raw hatred that fuels the epidemic of anti-Semitism flaring up around the world." - Ruth Gruber, author, "Inside Time" and "A Woman of Israel"
