Muslim Antisemitism and the Conspiracy of Silence / Neil J Additional Praise for “The Sons of Pigs and Apes” “Although Neil Kressel’s magisterial essay is primarily addressed at those in the West who pretend that antisemitism is no more than a tragic memory, it is also of great value for those Muslims who dream of, and increasingly fight for, a free society. Kressel’s message is clear: fighting anti-Jewish ideas and practices must be an integral part of any strategy for freedom in Muslim countries.” —Amir TAheri, AuThor of The Persian nighT “Shines new light on antisemitism in the Muslim world, and shows how hatred of the Jewish people remains a potent—even deadly—force in modern times. Kressel ably distinguishes between legitimate criticism of Israel and antisemitism and debunks the false accusation that the Jewish community wields the charge of antisemitism as a bludgeon to quash anti-Israel criticism.” ––AbrAhAm h. foxmAn, nationAl direcTor, AnTi-defAmation leAgue “Many books have recently been written about Islamic antisemitism, but none is as precise, scrupulous, and well-informed as Neil Kressel’s ‘The Sons of Pigs and Apes,’ which is a thorough unmasking of some disgraceful attitudes, and of the widespread failure to confront them.” —irfAn KhAwAjA, chAir, depArTmenT of philosophy, feliciAn college “An important but disquieting book. Neil Kressel’s skill as a social scientist is manifest throughout the work and his arguments persuasive. To cure a malaise one must first confront its symptoms and seek their underlying causes. In dealing with Muslim antisemitism, Kressel’s work is more than helpful—it is essential.” —michAel berenbAum, former direcTor of The uniTed states holocAusT reseArch insTiTuTe at The u.s. holocAusT memoriAl museum, direcTor of The sigi Ziering insTiTuTe at The AmericAn jewish universiTy, And ediTor of noT Your FaTher’s anTisemiTism “A brave and important book. Kressel asks the question that few dare to pose: why are today’s anti-racists and intelligentsia so silent on antisemitism?” —righT honourAble dr. denis mAcshAne, member of pArliAmenT for roTherhAm, former briTish minisTer for europe, former chAir of The house of commons All-pArTy committee of inquiry inTo AnTisemiTism in britain Also by Neil J.

The history of relations between Muslims and Jews, after all, has given rise to endless nuances of interpretation, and reasonable people may disagree. I ask only that readers try to understand and share my objective: to combat a dangerous bigotry so that Muslim-Jewish relations may develop on a firm and lasting foundation of truth and good will. While I have not focused on anti- Muslim bigotry in this volume, I hope I have made clear that it too must be op- posed with vigor. Although any errors of fact and interpretation in this book are, of course, my own, I have benefitted greatly from the assistance, counsel, and prior research of many wise people. Perhaps most significant was my affiliation with the now- shuttered Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism, created and directed by Charles Small. YIISA brought to campus many of the world’s leading luminaries on today’s antisemitism and related issues. In April 2008 I attended a thought-provoking YIISA conference on “Understanding the Challenge of Iran.” The following year I participated in another stimulating event: the Dr. James Sacks Conference on psychological dimensions of contemporary antisemitism, which was cosponsored by the Anti-Defamation League. Most important of all was the superb August 2010 conference on “Global Antisemitism: A Crisis of Modernity.” Although this conference was denounced in harsh terms by Maen Rashid Areikat, the Pales- tine Liberation Organization’s representative in the United States, and by several members of the anti-Israel radical Left (none of whom I believe attended the ix x Acknowledgments event), the presenters included more than a hundred top scholars from around the world. These scholars represented a broad range of political opinion—left, center, and right—on the Arab-Israeli conflict, antisemitism, and other matters. Collec- tively, they had authored hundreds of books and journal articles and brought to the topic an unusually diverse set of backgrounds and methodological training. Although some of the presenters might, I think, disagree with parts of this book, I found the conference to be one of the best I had attended in recent years. At various YIISA conferences, the YIISA lecture series, and other events, I had the opportunity to hear the views and insights of many scholars, journal- ists, political leaders, and human rights activists from around the world, includ- ing Hadassa Ben-Itto, David Cesarani, Phyllis Chesler, Patrick Clawson, Shoaib Choudhury, Irwin Cotler, Shalem Coulibaly, Robert Fine, András Gerö, Nora Gold, Daniel Goldhagen, Erich Goldhagen, Diana Gregor, Yossi Klein Halevi, Jeffrey Herf, Anne Herzberg, David Hirsh, Gilbert Kahn, Mehrangiz Kar, Berthe Kayitesi, Yaakov Kirschen, Jytte Klausen, Barry Kosmin, Richard Landes, Jacob Lassner, Leslie Lebl, Meir Litvak, Kenneth Marcus, David Menashri, Menahem Milson, Stephen Norwood, Orly Rahimiyan, Paul Lawrence Rose, Alvin Rosen- feld, Hannah Rosenthal, Jennifer Roskies, Barry Rubin, Michael Rubin, Thyme Siegel, Ernest Sternberg, Asher Susser, Bassam Tibi, Robert Wistrich, and Ben- Dror Yemini. In each case, I was enriched by the encounter. In addition, the YIISA video archive enabled me to benefit from many presentations that I was unable to attend in person. YIISA also brought to New Haven a politically diverse and talented group of postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows, including, among others, Idit Shalev, Ulrike Becker, and Joshua Kaplan. Lauren Clark, the coordinator of YIISA, was always helpful to me beyond the call of duty. YIISA was also where I met German scholar Clemens Heni, a tireless foe of antisemitism in all its forms. Clemens, who heads the Berlin International Center for the Study of Antisemitism, read a draft of this book and gave me much useful feedback. The recently established Journal for the Study of Antisemitism ( JSA), edited by Steven K. Baum and Neal E. Rosenberg, has taken a much-needed step toward encouraging research on Jew-hatred in the past and, more importantly, in the understudied present. A 2010 conference sponsored by the journal broached the Acknowledgments xi topic of Muslim antisemitism, something that many academics have been unwill- ing or unable to consider. In addition, a team of social psychologists, headed by Lee Jussim and Florette Cohen, has started to address the near total absence of empirical social psycho- logical studies on contemporary antisemitism, a gap that is curious in light of the discipline’s seminal role in understanding Jew-hatred and other bigotries in the past. I hope that Jussim and Cohen’s work, presented at YIISA and the JSA conference, will get the attention of mainstream social psychologists. I am also grateful to Jussim for presenting his work at William Paterson University, where I am a professor.

  • History of Antisemitism and the Holocaust Hist 2240 W A01
    HISTORY OF ANTISEMITISM AND THE HOLOCAUST HIST 2240 W A01 Professor Chatterley University of Manitoba, Department of History Fall 2012: Wednesdays, 7:00-10:00 pm Office Hours: TBA Email: [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will examine antisemitism as a central phenomenon of Western history. We will study its theological origins in the conflict between Judaism and Christianity, follow its development through the Middle Ages, examine its secularized forms during the modern period, and conclude with a discussion of contemporary antisemitism, especially in the Islamic world. The Nazi murder of European Jewry, a central focus of the course, will be examined within the contexts of the history of antisemitism and modern German history. The course is designed to provide students with an opportunity to investigate antisemitism and the Holocaust historically and to study some of the major debates in these related fields. Questions of historical interpretation will be discussed, such as: what role did antisemitism play in the Nazi Final Solution ; did Hitler plan to destroy the Jewish people from the beginning of his political career or was mass murder the end result of a historically determined process; is the Holocaust unique, and if so why; was the Holocaust inevitable; and, why does antisemitism persist? The assignments for this class allow students to discover for themselves the problems associated with historical conceptualization and interpretation. Questions and active participation are encouraged. COURSE WEBSITE http://www.catherinechatterley.com The course website can be found by clicking the Teaching link on my website. There you will find a copy of this syllabus, the reading schedule, as well as additional electronic readings.

SYEED National Director Office for the Interfaith and Community Alliance Islamic Society of North America * * * * * 2 P R O C E E D I N G S MR. BENJAMIN: -- religion and democracy in the age of the 24/7 news cycle, a Dutch perspective, with Bert Koenders, Dutch Minister for Development and Cooperation. You know, particularly since 9/11, I think we’ve all been recognizing that we are in an era when we are grappling with different aspects of globalization. Even before 9/11 we all recognized that we were grappling with issues of destabilizing capital flows. We have seen a rather substantial rise in immigration n many different parts of the world, so flows of human capital, as well. And I think no aspect of globalization is more important than the flow of different ideas into different communities, different societies and different parts of the world. For those of us who study, as I do, extremism and radicalism, there’s been a lot of attention to the development of what the French sociologist, Olivier Roy has called the “virtual ummah.” And there’s been a lot of interest in it -- in the transferral of a rather, and occasionally, dangerous, set of ideas.

  • Poles and Jews: the Quest for Self-Determination 1919- 1934
    Poles and Jews: The Quest For Self-Determination 1919- 1934 By Feigue Cieplinski Poland became an independent nation against all odds in the interwar period and retained her sovereignty from 1919 to 1939; hence the concept “interwar Poland.” The vicissitudes of her existence earned her the name of “God’s Playground.” [1] The Jews within her borders shared her history since 1240 C.E. Their freedoms during this period, unequaled in other places of Western Europe, earned Poland the Biblical allusion of “New Canaan.” [2] In contrast, some scholars have described Poland’s Jewry in the interwar Republic as being “On the Edge Of Destruction.” [3] That Polish Jewry was in distress is attested by the urgent visit of Mr. Neville Laski, a member of the British Joint Foreign Committee closely associated with the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the Joint Distribution Committee, in 1934. [4] His August visit fell between two historical events framing Polish Jewry’s status: seven months before, in January of that year, Poland and Germany signed a bilateral non- aggression declaration and in September Colonel Josef Beck, as Foreign Minister, announced in Geneva, his country’s unilateral abrogation of the Minorities Treaty in force since 1919. The scholars listed below have studied separately either the birth of Poland and the imposition of the Minorities Protection Treaty, the rapprochement between Poland and Germany, or the situation of the Jews in Poland. However, they have paid scant attention to the nexus between the rise of Hitler, the rapprochement between Poland and Germany, the demise of the Minorities Protection Treaty, and the consequent worsening situation of Polish Jewry.

  • The Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries: an Examination of Legal Rights - a Case Study of the Human Rights Violations of Iraqi Jews
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 26, Issue 3 2002 Article 6 The Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries: An Examination of Legal Rights - A Case Study of the Human Rights Violations of Iraqi Jews Carole Basri∗ ∗ Copyright c 2002 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries: An Examination of Legal Rights - A Case Study of the Human Rights Violations of Iraqi Jews Carole Basri Abstract Although the issues surrounding the Palestinian refugees are frequently addressed at the United Nations (”U.N.”), in the news media, and in legal journals, very little has been written about the Jews displaced from Arab lands. In light of the little known fact that approximately 50% of Israelis are Jews from Arab lands or their descendents, this Article will use Jews from Iraq as a case study in examining the history and rights of Jews from Arab countries, who were expelled or forced to seek refuge elsewhere. Part I of this Article examines the historical legal status of Jews in Iraq and the discriminatory and prosecutorial events that triggered the expulsion of Jews from Iraq. Part II demonstrates that actions taken by Iraq against Jews violated international law stan- dards and other laws applicable now and at that time. Part III addresses the question of whether Jews from Arab lands currently have any available remedies for these violations of their rights. Finally, the Article concludes that a full accounting of the rights of Jews from Arab lands must accompany any discussions aimed at providing a regional peace agreement for the Middle East, if such an agreement is to have strength and legitimacy under international law.
