{"product_id":"9781472920768","title":"Antisemitism: The Oldest Hatred","description":"'The Jewish people in its very being constitutes a living protest against a world of hatred, violence and war'\u003cbr\u003eEmeritus Chief Rabbi, Lord Sacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of Jewish persecution is as old as the written word, though the epithet 'antisemitism' was only conceived in the late nineteenth century as it reached the beginning of its most horrifying chapter. Throughout Christian history the hatred and prejudice towards the Jewish people have often been blamed on the betrayal and crucifixion of Christ, but ethnic Jewish oppression began long before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is beyond dispute that antisemitism in our societies is on the increase. Following the Israeli bombing of Gaza, antisemitic feeling has grown significantly - though a prominent group of French Orthodox Jews in Paris recently  demonstrated with placards saying 'Israeli action in Gaza is not the action of the Jewish people'. Yet still Jewish graves are desecrated and Synagogues daubed with swastikas. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Mann has assembled a Reader on the theme of antisemitism ranging from the writings of Charlie Chaplin, Albert Einstein and Jean-Paul Sartre to George Washington, Jesse Jackson and Emile Zola.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is published under the auspices of the 'All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Anti-Semitism' and will come to be seen as a contribution of major importance on a subject of incipient lethal danger.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135610765552,"sku":"9781472920768","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472920768_p0.jpg?v=1763599422","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472920768","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
