The Left’s Jewish Problem: Jeremy Corbyn, Israel and Anti-Semitism by Dave Rich
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 329 kb
Overview: There is a sickness at the heart of left-wing British politics, and though predominantly below the surface, it is silently spreading, becoming ever more malignant.
With three separate inquiries into anti-Semitism in the Labour Party in the first six months of 2016 alone, it seems hard to believe that, until the 1980s, the British left was broadly pro-Israel. And while the election of Jeremy Corbyn may have thrown a harsher spotlight on the crisis, it is by no means a recent phenomenon.
The widening gulf between British Jews and the anti-Israel left – born out of antiapartheid campaigns and now allying itself with Islamist extremists who demand Israel’s destruction – did not happen overnight or by chance: political activists made it happen. This book reveals who they were, why they chose Palestine and how they sold their cause to the left.
Based on new academic research into the origins of this phenomenon, combined with the author’s daily work observing political extremism, contemporary hostility to Israel, and anti-Semitism, this book brings new insight to the left’s increasingly controversial ‘Jewish problem’.
