Recently, Jewish voices have begun to warn against a 'new anti-Semitism' fueled by moral concerns about Israel. Opponents have retorted that opposition to 'Zionism' is by no means anti-Semitic. This book, by a non-Jewish analytic philosopher, assesses the relative merits of these opposed views and offers a detailed examination of the moral and intellectual credentials of the widespread current of opinion whose growth underlies both.

"Astonishing…a thorough examination of those forms of anti-Israel and anti-Zionist polemic which skirt close to, and frequently cross over into, political anti-Semitism…This is a powerful, explosive book. Read it from cover to cover. Now and again you will need to deploy the arguments it so cogently presents you with, the ones you always knew were there but could not produce for yourself. We needed it. A non-Jew has provided it." - The Jewish Chronicle, USA, (Uk)

"Bernard Harrison, a philosophy professor at the University of Utah, has done something unusual. In today's climate of fearful academic inquiry, which often wavers between conspiracy theories and a refusal to acknowledge harmful trends, Harrison has written a sane, balanced book on the growing anti-Semitism in Left-influenced liberal circles." - Journal Of The Royal Musical Association

"Outlining a precise boundary between anti-semitism and legitimate criticism of Israeli policies, the author demonstrates, through critical analysis of liberal literature and commentaries, that the Left's articulation of moral indignation verges on—if it is not rooted in—an anti-semitism that has a long, bloody history. Recommended." - CHOICE

"Bernard Harrison has brought talents he honed for 40 years in what he calls 'the amiable sharkpool of analytic philosophy' to brilliantly dissect the anti-Semitism currently purveyed by the left. An elegant stylist, Harrison is deadly in shredding the claims of the exponents of the new anti-Semitism. Harrison is superb dissecting the meretricious reasoning characteristic of anti-Semitism, the internal contradictions, the incoherence, and the evasion of contradictory evidence." - Springer
