The politics of anti-semitism - Alexander Cockburn

How did a term once used accurately to describe the most virulent evil become a charge flung at the mildest critic of Israel, particularly concerning its atrocious treatment of Palestinians? In this groundbreaking collection, academics, journalists, political commentators and former U.S. Reps tackle the current Middle East crisis, the U.S. domestic Israel lobby and its ramifications worldwide. Contributors include Robert Fisk, Norman Finkelstein, Cynthia McKinney, Yuri Avneri, Will Yeoman, Shaheed Alam, Anne Pettifer, Neve Gordon, Yigal Bronner and more.
