It was the deadliest attack on Jews in American history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For most Americans, the massacre at Tree of Life, the synagogue where Bari Weiss became a bat mitzvah, came as a shock. But anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred, commonplace across the Middle East and on the rise for years in Europe. So that terrible morning in Pittsburgh, as well as the continued surge of hate crimes against Jews in cities and towns across the country, raise a question Americans cannot avoid: Could it happen here? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is Weiss's answer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Like many, Weiss long believed this country could escape the rising tide of anti-Semitism. With its promise of free speech and religion, its insistence that all people are created equal, its tolerance for difference, and its emphasis on shared ideals rather than bloodlines, America has been, even with all its flaws, a new Jerusalem for the Jewish people. But now the luckiest Jews in history are beginning to face a three-headed dragon known all too well to Jews of other times and places: the physical fear of violent assault, the moral fear of ideological vilification, and the political fear of resurgent fascism and populism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e No longer the exclusive province of the far right, the far left, and assorted religious bigots, anti-Semitism now finds a home in identity politics as well as the reaction against identity politics, in the renewal of America First isolationism and the rise of one-world socialism, and in the spread of Islamist ideas into unlikely places. A hatred that was, until recently, reliably taboo is migrating toward the mainstream, amplified by social media and a culture of conspiracy that threatens us all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Weiss is one of our most provocative writers, and her cri de coeur makes a powerful case for renewing Jewish and American values in this uncertain moment. Not just for the sake of America's Jews, but for the sake of America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBari Weiss\u003c\/b\u003e is the host of the podcast \u003ci\u003eHonestly\u003c\/i\u003e and the founder and editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Free Press\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Crown Publishing Group (NY)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50611975323922,"sku":"9780593136263","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_1d8c05d0-e70e-4eb4-a08d-bfcf8ea33453.jpg?v=1732368029","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/how-to-fight-anti-semitism-9780593136263","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
