Summary:

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.
