Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism in the Contemporary World Book

Can a common denominator be found between the antisemitism that has existed through the ages and came to is horrible climax in the twentieth century and more contemporary forms of anti-Zionism? Has the intensity of antagonism to Israel and Zionism generated by the Middle East conflict and its repercussions generated a new kind of antisemitism? This book presents a collection of essays by leading scholoars of the subject which addresses these highly topical questions in their broadest international context. The spectrum of views examined includes those of right- and left-wing extremists, Palestinian and Arab nationalists, Muslim fundamentalists, Soviet communists, third-world ideologists, Christian theologians, black radicals and also people of the center whose antipathy to Zionism has become more visible in recent years. This book is an important contribution to one of the most controversial issues of our time.
