Why the Jews?: The Reason for Antisemitism

In this insightful exploration, Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin delve into the persistent and widespread hatred directed at Jews throughout history. They examine why the term "Jew" evokes such strong emotions unlike any other religious or political identity. The authors trace antisemitism from ancient times through the Holocaust and into contemporary issues, including the replication of Nazi antisemitism in the Arab world, the rise of anti-Zionism on university campuses, and the growing antisemitism in Europe. They also analyze why Israel and the United States are often linked in the minds of antisemites. This book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking perspective on the unique challenges faced by Jews, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the roots and modern manifestations of antisemitism.
