The New American Anti-Semitism - Benjamin Ginsberg - Bog

"Many American jews believe that their most dangerous foes today are on the political right. To focus exclusively on the Far Right, however, misses the lethal and growing anti-Semitism threat from the political Left. Jews should by nature be aware of the existence of anti-Semitism anywhere. In the book of Exodus (32:9), God tells Moses that the Jews are a "stiff- necked people." It would appear today that the necks of some Jews have become so stiff from looking over their right shoulders that they are unable to turn enough for a quick peek to the left. America has been good for the Jews (and vice versa), but if Jewish history offers any lessons, among the foremost is that nothing good lasts forever. Most American Jews view the United States as their country, but Jews in the diaspora have never been able to take the future for granted anywhere or at any time. This book is a wake-up call for the complacent."--
