| Summary: | Defines a new, postwar antisemitism as moral indifference to antisemitism, mainly in American society, whereby hatemongers are being ignored or forgotten. This is seen as culminating in inaction in the face of danger to the Jewish state, posed by the threat and then the reality of the attack on Israel on Yom Kippur in 1973. Single or multiple chapters treat Gerald K. Smith's Christian antisemitism; Blacks; the Christian clergy's failure to accept the need for a Jewish state; the media's spreading of anti-Jewish stereotypes (including in films); anti-Zionism and antisemitism among the radical Left, communists, Arabs, and pro-Arabists (including Jews); antisemitism in the USSR, Western Europe, and Latin America; and right-wing hatemongers. Berates both tolerance of and apologists for antisemitism in all its manifestations. |
