|
Editorial Review:
From the bestselling authors of The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism comes a completely revised and updated edition of a modern classic that reflects the dangerous rise in antisemitism during the twenty-first century.
The very word Jew continues to arouse passions as does no other religious, national, or political name. Why have Jews been the object of the most enduring and universal hatred in history? Why did Hitler consider murdering Jews more important than winning World War II? Why has the United Nations devoted more time to tiny Israel than to any other nation on earth?In this seminal study, Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin attempt to uncover and understand the roots of antisemitism -- from the ancient world to the Holocaust to the current crisis in the Middle East. This postmillennial edition of Why the Jews? offers new insights and unparalleled perspectives on some of the most recent, pressing developments in the contemporary world, including:
· The replicating of Nazi antisemitism in the Arab world· The pervasive anti-Zionism/antisemitism on university campuses
· The rise of antisemitism in Europe
· Why the United States and Israel are linked in the minds of antisemites
Clear, persuasive, and thought provoking, Why the Jews? is must reading for anyone who seeks to understand the unique role of the Jews in human history.

Why antisemitism Has Nothing To Do With Semites:

Prager should be read, listened to on radio and considered the expert on what constitutes Jew Hatred. If you thought it was only the Nazis, you'll think again after digesting the contents of "Why the Jews".

Antisemitism is outright Jew-Hatred.
This is the most provacative, thought provoking book I have...more info
provocative and thought provoking: 
This book is quite provocative and thought provoking. I found numerous instances in which examples of anti-Jewish sentiment were cited. Many of the cases of violence against other humans was absolutely horrific! It was a good book for finding examples of antisemitic thought. It was generally quite well written. Weaknesses include the following - (1) same facts / statements were repeated on numerous instances - I tend to overlook this tendency in 500 + texts but I usually at least cite it in 200 page books....more info
Understanding the Middle East Situation:
This is a wonderful book that really fleshes out a view of antisemitism that helps to understand the undercurrents and rip currents in the Middle East today. Prager and Telushkin are succinct,factual and thorough in helping to understand a much written about, but misunderstood, topic. Their position puts current events into a perspective that helps the reader to appreciate the nuances and subleties included in articles about the Middle East presented in the media. After reading this book you begin to read...more info
