Israeli Apartheid & Palestinian Oppression "To face reality squarely; not to seek the line of least resistance; to call things by their right names; to speak the truth to the masses, no matter how bitter it may be; not to fear obstacles; to be true in little things as in big ones; to base one's program on the logic of the class struggle; to be bold when the hour of action arrives-these are the rules of the Fourth International."

Beinart blamed the pow­ erful American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its ilk,for whom "theHol<;> caust analogies never stop, and their message is always· the same: Jews are licensed by their victimhood to worry only about themselves." He also observed that rather than checking their liberalism at Zionism's door, "many young Jews have checked their Zionism instead" (New Yo rk Review of Books, 10 June 2010).

  • Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections
    Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections David Hirsh Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK The Working Papers Series is intended to initiate discussion, debate and discourse on a wide variety of issues as it pertains to the analysis of antisemitism, and to further the study of this subject matter. Please feel free to submit papers to the ISGAP working paper series. Contact the ISGAP Coordinator or the Editor of the Working Paper Series, Charles Asher Small. Working Paper Hirsh 2007 ISSN: 1940-610X © Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy ISGAP 165 East 56th Street, Second floor New York, NY 10022 United States Office Telephone: 212-230-1840 www.isgap.org ABSTRACT This paper aims to disentangle the difficult relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. On one side, antisemitism appears as a pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel. I address the central relationship both conceptually and through a number of empirical case studies which lie in the disputed territory between criticism and demonization. The paper focuses on current debates in the British public sphere and in particular on the campaign to boycott Israeli academia. Sociologically the paper seeks to develop a cosmopolitan framework to confront the methodological nationalism of both Zionism and anti-Zionism. It does not assume that exaggerated hostility to Israel is caused by underlying antisemitism but it explores the possibility that antisemitism may be an effect even of some antiracist forms of anti- Zionism.

  • Contemporary Left Antisemitism
    “David Hirsh is one of our bravest and most thoughtful scholar-activ- ists. In this excellent book of contemporary history and political argu- ment, he makes an unanswerable case for anti-anti-Semitism.” —Anthony Julius, Professor of Law and the Arts, UCL, and author of Trials of the Diaspora (OUP, 2010) “For more than a decade, David Hirsh has campaigned courageously against the all-too-prevalent demonisation of Israel as the one national- ism in the world that must not only be criticised but ruled altogether illegitimate. This intellectual disgrace arouses not only his indignation but his commitment to gather evidence and to reason about it with care. What he asks of his readers is an equal commitment to plumb how it has happened that, in a world full of criminality and massacre, it is obsessed with the fundamental wrongheadedness of one and only national movement: Zionism.” —Todd Gitlin, Professor of Journalism and Sociology, Columbia University, USA “David Hirsh writes as a sociologist, but much of the material in his fascinating book will be of great interest to people in other disciplines as well, including political philosophers. Having participated in quite a few of the events and debates which he recounts, Hirsh has done a commendable service by deftly highlighting an ugly vein of bigotry that disfigures some substantial portions of the political left in the UK and beyond.” —Matthew H. Kramer FBA, Professor of Legal & Political Philosophy, Cambridge University, UK “A fierce and brilliant rebuttal of one of the Left’s most pertinacious obsessions. What makes David Hirsh the perfect analyst of this disorder is his first-hand knowledge of the ideologies and dogmata that sustain it.” —Howard Jacobson, Novelist and Visiting Professor at New College of Humanities, London, UK “David Hirsh’s new book Contemporary Left Anti-Semitism is an impor- tant contribution to the literature on the longest hatred.

How you think about liberation in Palestine mirrors your thinking about liberation in the USABy AymanAuthors Lenni Brenner and Matthew Quest collected in this volume some of the essays they published between 1993 and 2013 analyzing the positions of prominent figures in the movement for black liberation towards Zionism and Palestinian resistance to Zionism. These positions were reflections of their owners' evolving understandings of the liberation struggles in the United States.The liberation struggle evolved from the civil rights' postures of late 1950s and early 1960s Martin Luther King, Jr and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples (NAACP) to the nationalist (Black Power) positions associated with Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael and even the socialist and revolutionary stances of members of the Black Panther Party like Huey Newton. Correspondingly, Black Americans changed from seeing Zionists as struggling for the rights of a minority (Jews) to seeing Zionists as an extension of white supremacy or global imperialism and capitalism into southwest Asia and northeast Africa.Nevertheless, many factors have limited the development of the Palestine Solidarity movement in the United States.

    Where Do We Go from Here? : Tortured Expressions of Solidarity in the German Jewish Travelogues of the Weimar Republic A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of German Studies of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences By Wesley Todd Jackson, Jr. 2015 M.A. University of Cincinnati, December 2008 B.A., Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN, 2006 Committee Chair: Dr. Todd Herzog, Professor University of Cincinnati Abstract This dissertation examines three travelogues written by German Jewish intellectuals during the Weimar period of Germany, just after World War I. x Das ostjüdische Antlitz (The Face of Eastern European Jewry), by Arnold Zweig, published in 1920. x Reise in Polen (Travels in Poland), by Alfred Döblin, published in 1926. x Hawdoloh und Zapfenstreich (Havdalah for Sabbath and Taps for Curfew), by Sammy Gronemann, published in 1924. Each of these travel writers addressed the issue of how German Jews were to navigate national and cultural identities in an environment of political, economic, and social instability after World War I. In response to mass migrations of impoverished, Eastern European Jews and exclusivist, anti-Semitic definitions of national identity, these travel writers articulated an inclusive, porous vision of European Jewish identity that was rooted in the Judeo-Christian ethic to “love thy neighbor.” Each author proposed a different mechanism to bring about such a sense of spiritual renewal and of neighborly hospitality—particularly toward the Eastern European Jews. Arnold Zweig relied on the inspirational power of art and poetry; Alfred Döblin as a psychiatrist pointed to a complicated process of individuation and sublimating one’s ethnic or national identity to the greater good of a common state; and Sammy Gronemann advocated a return to religious Orthodox ritual.

What began (for me) as a simple intellectual political inquiry soon grew into a larger, much more complicated story containing elements of mob power, personal greed, clan territory and generational xenophobia wrapped within a caul of historical verisimilitude. In short, there was far, far more to the question than I had previously thought possible and the journey lead me in directions that I did not necessarily expect.
