It examines the provenance of the Jew-hatred, from English history to Palestinian Islamism; from toxic 19th century 'Jewish Question' rhetoric to the perversion of the Trotskyist tradition that allowed parts of the left to embrace antisemitism. It includes Howard Jacobson's lecture of 22 October on antisemitism and it focuses on what was significant about this attack. There is discussion from Britain, Germany, Poland, and Norway, and a linguistic account of responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eResponses to 7 October: Law and Society\u003c\/i\u003e begins with a legal, and a genocide studies critique of the claim that Israel is genocidal; another reflects on the absence of an understanding of antisemitism in international legal discourse. There are reflections on experiences in the Palestine solidarity movement and on the twists that discourse there takes. Contributions draw on Judaism, feminism, and sociology to face what happened and to trace how Israelis were transported back to a quintessentially pre-Israel Jewish experience. Others survey reports of antisemitism around the globe in the wake of 7 October, including pieces about Britain and Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eResponses to 7 October: Universities \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on the heartland of contemporary antisemitic thinking, which is scholarship; and its reflection in student discourse on campus. Contributions go back to Sartre and to debates of Marx's time; another looks at the \u003ci\u003eNew Left\u003c\/i\u003e forged in the civil rights movement, and shows how antisemitic responses to the 2023 violence were anticipated by some of the responses to the 1967 \u003ci\u003eArab League\u003c\/i\u003e aggression. The feminist movement and 'progressives' more generally come under scrutiny, and there is analysis of antisemitism on campus after 7 October, showing how it is tolerated and protected there; including in archaeological attempts to deny that there is an ancient Jewish history in Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a set or individually, these important volumes will appeal to scholars, students and activists with an interest in antisemitism, Jewish studies and the politics of Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Misc","offer_id":46289427824791,"sku":"9781032822099","price":5342.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032822099.webp?v=1769303146","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/responses-to-7-october-3-volume-set-9781032822099","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
