Book Synopsis Anti-Semitism and Jewish Uniqueness by : Arthur Hertzberg
Download or read book Anti-Semitism and Jewish Uniqueness written by Arthur Hertzberg and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflects on contemporary antisemitism worldwide. States that the issues between Jews and Gentiles have little or nothing to do with the age-old quarrel between Jews and Christians. At the center of almost all the quarrels in which Jews are involved today stands the existence of the State of Israel. Points to five major foci of conflict between Jews and non-Jews conducive to antisemitism today: the Arab-Israeli conflict, that with the USSR over the right of Jews to emigrate, that with the New Left, the conflict around Zionism, and a rather new conflict between Blacks and Jews in the USA. Since the period of Emancipation (19th century), the main efforts of Jews have been directed to a "normalization" of relations with non-Jews, which involves the Jews becoming "just like everybody else". This strategy has failed to halt the rejection of Jews; the view of Jewish peculiarity has persisted. Argues against the viewpoint that the source of Jewish uniqueness lies in antisemitism. All facets of Jewish peculiarity, including their relationship with Israel and their particular economic profile, are inner Jewish developments, not caused by outside factors. To conclude, doubts that antisemitism will end soon.

Download or read book Why the Jews? written by Dennis Prager and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis The Satanizing of the Jews by : Joel Carmichael
Download or read book The Satanizing of the Jews written by Joel Carmichael and published by Fromm International. This book was released on 1992 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature about anti-Semitism is vast. However, much of what has been written about it takes the existence of this phenomenon for granted, giving us a history of anti-Semitism without explaining what it really is. Carmichael's treatise is different. It is not primarily a history of atrocities--it goes to the roots, thus clearing the confusion about the distinction between mystical anti-Semitism and other forms of racism. Mystical anti-Semitism is a singular idea which culminated in the Holocaust and is still alive today. Carmichael contends that it has nothing to do with a personal hatred of the Jews. He argues that the view of anti-Semitism as being directed against real-life Jews has in fact helped objectify the irrational hatred that is at its core. Anti-Semitism received its mystical element when the Church Fathers transformed historical theory into theology. St. Paul believed in the imminence of the Kingdom of God which would be the end of history and reverse the injustice done to the Jews. To him, God's reentering history was delayed only until the God-forces in this world had finally defeated the Devil-forces. Yet the world did not end, and in the wake of Rome's crushing victory over Judea in the Roman-Jewish War, the idea of the Kingdom of God was postponed indefinitely. Instead, the Universal Church took over God's place in the world, and the Devil's role was assigned to those who rejected Jesus and have since been blamed for his death: the Jews. The rise of Christianity established anti-Semitism politically; it finally gained a broad, popular basis during the Crusades, eventually leading to international prosecutions. Ghettoes were established as a consequence of theReformation. Carmichael describes the waning of theology's influence during the 18th century, which only caused the concepts of "Jew" and "Jewish" to become abstract and ultimately being equated with Pure Evil; the development of the concept of race in the 19th century, which turned anti-Semitism from a theological notion into a biological one, as exemplified most radically and horribly by Hitler; and Communism's contribution to the perseverance of anti-Semitism. In an epilogue Carmichael distinguishes mystical anti-Semitism from the Arab opposition to the State of Israel, and examines what the future has in store for the Jews.

Download or read book The Secrets Of Jewish Genius written by Judie Blanck and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help you discover the secret of Jewish success and the history of Jews. The first section of the book touches upon the essence of the matter and deal with the question "Who is a Jew?" - Is a Jew someone who has a religious or national obligation, or is it someone who is a descendant of a Jewish family? Later on, the book gives a brief overview of Jewish history, a phenomenon that is hard to explain, and yet it tries to present several interesting and exciting angles. The main section of the book presents amazing data of Jewish success and uniqueness in different areas from all parts of the world, throughout history, and refers to 'Jewish genius' - is there such a thing? And what can be learned from it? In the following chapters, the author tries, unsuccessfully, to explain the phenomenon of antisemitism, and why he fails to explain it... The final chapters deal with the essential question - "Why are Jews successful?", and with the differences that may or may not be between a Jew and a non-Jew.
Book Synopsis Separation and Its Discontents by : Kevin B. MacDonald
Download or read book Separation and Its Discontents written by Kevin B. MacDonald and published by Praeger Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MacDonald develops a theory of anti-Semitism based on an evolutionary interpretation of social identity theory. Historical examples of anti-Semitism are analyzed as scientifically comprehensible gentile responses to a distinctive, segregated group. Anti-Semitism has historically been exacerbated by resource competition between Jews and gentiles. Jews have engaged in a wide range of strategies to try to combat it. These strategies include: crypsis, political activity, writing religious and intellectual apologia directed at both ingroup and outgroup members, and engaging in self-deception regarding both the nature of Judaism and gentile responses to Judaism.
Download or read book Judeophobia written by Peter Schfer and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a fresh look at what the Greeks and Romans thought about Jews and Judaism, Peter Schafer locates the origin of anti-Semitism in the ancient world. Judeophobia firmly establishes Hellenistic Egypt as the generating source of anti-Semitism, with roots extending back into Egypt's pre-Hellenistic history. A pattern of ingrained hostility toward an alien culture emerges when Schafer surveys an illuminating spectrum of comments on Jews and their religion in Greek and Roman writings, focusing on the topics that most interested the pagan classical world: the exodus or, as it was widely interpreted, expulsion from Egypt; the nature of the Jewish god; food restrictions, in particular abstinence from pork; laws relating to the sabbath; the practice of circumcision; and Jewish proselytism. He then probes key incidents, two fierce outbursts of hostility in Egypt: the destruction of a Jewish temple in Elephantine in 410 B.C.E. and the riots in Alexandria in 38 C.E. Asking what fueled these attacks on Jewish communities, the author discovers deep-seated ethnic resentments. It was from Egypt that hatred of Jews, based on allegations of impiety, xenophobia, and misanthropy, was transported first to Syria-Palestine and then to Rome, where it acquired a new element: fear of this small but distinctive community. To the hatred and fear, ingredients of Christian theology were soon added--a mix all too familiar in Western history.
Book Synopsis Critical Theories of Anti-Semitism by : Jonathan Judaken
Download or read book Critical Theories of Anti-Semitism written by Jonathan Judaken and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its persistence and viciousness, anti-Semitism remains undertheorized in comparison with other forms of racism and discrimination. How should anti-Semitism be defined? What are its underlying causes? Why do anti-Semites target Jews? In what ways has Judeophobia changed over time? What are the continuities and disconnects between medieval anti-Judaism and the Holocaust? How does criticism of the state of Israel relate to anti-Semitism? And how can social theory illuminate the upsurge in attacks on Jews today? Considering these questions and many more, this book is at once a philosophical reflection on key problems in the analysis of anti-Semitism and a history of its leading theories and theorists. Jonathan Judaken explores the methodological and conceptual issues that have vexed the study of Judeophobia and calls for a reconsideration of the definitions, categories, and narratives that underpin overarching explanations. He traces how a range of thinkers have wrestled with these challenges, examining the theories of Jean-Paul Sartre, the Frankfurt School, Hannah Arendt, and Jean-François Lyotard, alongside the works of sociologists Talcott Parsons and Zygmunt Bauman and historians Léon Poliakov and George Mosse. Judaken argues against claims about the uniqueness of Judeophobia, demonstrating how it is entangled with other racisms: Islamophobia, Negrophobia, and xenophobia. Critical Theories of Anti-Semitism not only urges readers to question how they think about Judeophobia but also draws them into conversation with a range of leading thinkers whose insights are sorely needed in this perilous moment.

Book Synopsis Suffering as Identity by : Esther Benbassa
Download or read book Suffering as Identity written by Esther Benbassa and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reaching from biblical times to the present day, Esther Benbassa's prize-winning exploration of Jewish identity is both epic and comprehensive. She shows how in the Jewish world, the representation and ritualization of suffering have shaped the history of both the people and the religion. Benbassa argues that the nineteenth century gave rise to a Jewish 'lachrymose' historiography, and that Jewish history was increasingly seen to be a 'vale of tears'-a development that has become even more pronounced since the Holocaust. The treatment of the Holocaust in the State of Israel now has the form of a civil religion. In principle within reach of everyone, the 'duty of memory' and the uniqueness of the genocide have mitigated for many Jews the loss of other traditions. The Israeli government invokes the memory of the Holocaust to neutralize threats to its interests-ensuring that suffering continues to be a central part of Jewish identity and positioning the State of Israeli as a redemptive force.
