When you have problems with weather, do you ever communicate directly with God about the weather – [laughter] – or how do you deal with that? PRIME MIN. NETANYAHU: All the time.

  • 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.

  • Antisemitism and the Left
    2 Marx’s defence of Jewish emancipation and critique of the Jewish question The Jew … must cease to be a Jew if he will not allow himself to be hindered by his law from fulfilling his duties to the State and his fellow-citizens. (Bruno Bauer, Die Judenfrage)1 The Jews (like the Christians) are fully politically emancipated in various states. Both Jews and Christians are far from being humanly emancipated. Hence there must be a difference between political and human emancipation. (Marx and Engels, The Holy Family)2 Capitalism has not only doomed the social function of the Jews; it has also doomed the Jews themselves. (Abram Leon, ‘Toward a Solution to the Jewish Question’)3 Within the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, the perspectives of Jewish eman- cipation and the Jewish question were synthesised to the extent that emancipation was justified in terms of solving the Jewish question. Within the French Revolu- tion, the inclusive face of universalism that was articulated in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen was synthesised with the terror directed at those labelled ‘enemies of humanity’. In both the Enlightenment and the revolutionary tradition, however, there were alternative ways of thinking about Jewish emancipation that sought to break radically from the prejudicial assump- tions of the Jewish question. In the nineteenth century, the synthesis of Jewish emancipation and the Jewish question was to be torn apart. On the one hand, the Jewish question was set in opposition to Jewish emancipation; on the other hand, Jewish emancipation was justified independently of the Jewish question.4 The tensions contained in the eighteenth-century synthesis could no longer be held in check.

  • On the Jewish Question” (1843)
    KARL MARX, “On the Jewish Question” (1843) In: The Marx-Engels Reader. Edited by Robert Tucker, New York: Norton & Company, 1978. p. 26 - 46. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The German Jews seek emancipation. What kind of emancipation do they want? Civic, political emancipation. Bruno Bauer replies to them: In Germany no one is politically emancipated. We ourselves are not free. How then could we liberate you? You Jews are egoists if you demand for yourselves, as Jews, a special emancipation. You should work, as Germans, for the political emancipation of Germany, and as men, for the emancipation of mankind. You should feel the particular kind of oppression and shame which you suffer, not as an exception to the rule but rather as a confirmation of the rule. Or do the Jews want to be placed on a footing of equality with the Christian subjects? If they recognize the Christian state as legally established they also recognize the regime of general enslave- [27] ment. Why should their particular yoke be irksome when they accept the general yoke? Why should the German be interested in liberation of the Jew, if the Jew is not interested in the liberation of the German? The Christian state recognizes nothing but privileges. The Jew himself, in this state, has the privilege of being a Jew. As a Jew he possesses rights which the Christians do not have. Why does he want rights which he does not have but which the Christians enjoy? In demanding his emancipation from the Christian state he asks the Christian state to abandon its religious prejudice.

  • New Jews in Amsterdam: Some Social Aspects Reflected in the Thesouro Dos Dinim by Menasseh Ben Israel
    Chapter 18 New Jews in Amsterdam: Some Social Aspects Reflected in the Thesouro dos Dinim by Menasseh ben Israel Aliza Moreno-Goldschmidt The main goal of the present study is to analyze selected excerpts from Menasseh ben Israel’s Thesouro dos Dinim in order to extract his personal ap- proach regarding former conversos who joined the Amsterdam Jewish com- munity, as well as those who remained in the Lands of Idolatry.1 In order to understand the relevant background, the paper will include a brief description of the genre, that is to say, the halakhic manuals in Spanish and Portuguese published during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It will also present a concise account of the changes in the halakhic status of the former conversos until the time of Menasseh ben Israel. Menasseh ben Israel, one of seventeenth-century Jewish Amsterdam’s most prominent figures, has also been one of its most studied. However, his halakhic work Thesouro dos Dinim, considered by some to be one of his least original or innovative writings, has aroused little interest. Modern scholars share this dis- interest, but it also afflicted Menasseh ben Israel’s contemporary colleagues. As Asa Kasher demonstrated, in contrast to the reputation that Menasseh ben Israel gained among non-Jewish intellectuals (who were obviously uninter- ested in his Jewish legal writings), his reputation as a legal scholar among the rabbinical leaders of his time was hardly outstanding.2 Nevertheless, whatever his rabbinical colleagues may have thought, the actual impact of Menasseh’s work within the Jewish world—as a writer and communal religious leader— was significant especially among the New Christians who returned to Judaism in Amsterdam and elsewhere in the Western Sephardic diaspora.

  • Raphael Meldola in Livorno, Pisa, and Bayonne
    Chapter 7 Defining Deviance, Negotiating Norms: Raphael Meldola in Livorno, Pisa, and Bayonne Bernard Dov Cooperman* 1 The Secularization Thesis The link between modernization and secularization has long been a staple of Jewish historiography. Secularization was the necessary prerequisite for, and the inevitable response to, Jews’ “emancipation” from discriminatory legal provisions. It was evidenced in the abandonment of Jewish ritual observance, an intentional imitation of external norms that was either to be praised as “enlightenment” or decried as “assimilation,” and the abandonment of Jewish “authenticity.” The decline in observance was accompanied by, or justified by, a parallel abandonment of traditional religious beliefs and theological concepts. And at the same time, the kehilla, the autonomous Jewish community, lost its ability to enforce religious discipline and suppress unacceptable religious ideas.1 Thus the transition to modernity was equated with a decline in rabbini- cal and communal authority, the abandonment of traditional behaviors, and the collapse of orthodox mentalities. In a famous article published almost a century ago, the young historian Salo Baron questioned whether moderniza- tion had been worth such a great cultural and communal cost.2 But he did not question the narrative itself; if anything, his regret over what was lost rein- forced the assumption that modernization and secularization were one. * My thanks to Professors Gérard Nahon and Peter Nahon as well as to Doctor Nimrod Gaatone for their thoughtful comments on this paper. While I was unable to take up their several ex- cellent suggestions here, I hope to do so in further work on Meldola. Of course, all errors are my own.

  • 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.
