Description
Genocidal Liberalism: The University's Jihad Against Israel & Jews, a major work of investigative reporting and analysis, explores the growing phenomenon of Israel-hatred and covert anti-Semitism on college campuses. Fomented by extreme Left-wing institutes, funded by Saudi money, and led by professors with a barely-hidden intolerance for even the continued existence of the Jewish state, the new anti-Semitism, parading as anti-Zionism, poses deep and worrying threats to Israel and those who recognize the viability of this Western-style democracy in the Middle East. It also constitutes a rising threat to the United States: for the most devious of the new anti-Semites, including radical Muslim student groups, have, as their main agenda, critiquing Israel as a way of destabilizing the Middle East and reducing the power and positive influence of the United States and undermining Western institutions.
Tracing the birth of this new strain of virulent anti-Israelism to the Left's obsession with "Palestinianism" and a corresponding loathing of Israel as a colonial oppressor, the book also reveals how a destructive "unholy alliance" has been formed between those liberals who seek social justice for the Palestinians, and Islamists who seek to destroy Israel as part of a broader jihadist strategy and now find the Left as an ally against a common enemy: Israel.
On campuses worldwide the result has been a corruption of true scholarly debate about the Middle East and an intellectual rot that has settled in as a result of politicized scholarship in Middle East studies programs, and anti-Israel bias in publications, conferences, and annual hate-fests sponsored by radical groups for the purpose of vilifying, demonizing, and eventually eliminating Israel from the community of nations.
Genocidal Liberalism exposes the threat posed by the new anti-Semitism in detail, and then offers some concrete solutions to help bring American and Canadian campuses back to a balanced and level-headed discussion of Israel and to expose the dangerous agenda of campus radicals. Only by knowing the dangerous threat that has been growing in intensity on campuses can the tide be turned, and will the next generation of students be able to understand, in a fair and accurate way, the unfolding dynamics of one of the world's most explosive regions.
