"No longer the exclusive province of the far right and far left, anti-semitism finds a home in identity politics and the reaction against identity politics, in the renewal of "America first" isolationism and the rise of one-world socialism. An ancient hatred increasingly allowed into modern political discussion, anti-semitism has been migrating toward the mainstream in dangerous ways, amplified by social media and a culture of conspiracy that threatens us all. This timely book is Weiss's cri de couer: an unnerving reminder that Jews must never lose their hard-won instinct for danger, and a powerful case for renewing Jewish and liberal values to guide us through this uncertain moment. Not just for the sake of America's Jews, but for the sake of America"--… (lisätietoja)

A clear, concise summary of disturbing recent events. While a well-read citizen would know nearly everything in the book, those who rely exclusively upon Ms. Weiss's current employer for news of our, um, times, will be well served by this primer.

Weiss correctly distinguishes among the three prevalent strains of the anti-Semitism virus: Right, Left, and Islamist, and correctly observes that while white supremacists are the anti-Semites most likely to shoot up a synagogue, they are responsible for only a small fraction of anti-Semitic acts. American Jews, however, "are eager to be the right kind of victims—meaning victims of the bad people on the right, and not the good people on the left."

Weiss is sure handed establishing how anti-Semitism pollutes our culture, our world of ideas, and ultimately our polity. Her final chapter, on combatting anti-Semitism, is unobjectionable but perhaps a bit thin. Yes, we must be brave and yes we should remain true to our better selves. But hard choices about the kinds of political action we take and the political allegiances we maintain are needed. I look forward to learning more about Weiss's views on those choices. ( )

I think this book is super important, but I guess I'm a little puzzled where the boundary lies between being critical of Israel's policies and being an anti-Semite. ( )

Let me preface this saying this is a good, intelligent, book that should be read by many.... and on say LibraryThing I'd give this a 3.5 but on here, having to choose between 3 and 4 stars, I choose 3.

There is a lot of good in this book. Its well written, extremely informative, and straight honest even to the point of alienating a lot of people. I'm curious how the Radical Islam chapter went down in the Muslim community. I have to believe that chapter inflamed a few people.

This is a hard topic, and its handled very well by Bari Weiss. She does a fantastic job of presenting information, both statistical and anecdotal. This is a problem with many faces and many difficult situations and its multi-layered and theres no simple fix or solution to this. Weiss does a good job of covering the history and many possible solutions and ways to make things work.

I do wish there was a subtitle for this book that said basically "For Jews" or at least acknowledged that this book is primarily for Jewish people. Which does seem common sense given the topic; but, I assumed as a Gentile that there would be plenty for me as far as the "fighting" section goes. But that entire section is almost entirely devoted to Jews fighting anti-semitism and not how we as a WHOLE collective can fight against anti-semitism. So as a non-Jewish person, there is far more to get out of this book from the history and historical perspective than there is in the fighting anti-Semitism and thats sad, because thats why I primarily picked up this book, to learn about.

How to Fight Anti-Semitism by Bari Weiss covers rising anti-semitism not just among right-wingers but also about political liberals. I don't think this story gets covered enough, and she does a very good job of explaining the history of antisemitism and how people cover those feelings by insisting they don't dislike Jews, they're are just anti-zionist.

The prescient New York Times writer delivers an urgent wake-up call to all Americans exposing the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in this country—and explains what we can do to defeat it.
