Why the Jews?: The Reason for AntisemitismSimon and Schuster, 1983 - 238 sider Why have Jews been the object of the most enduring and universal hatred in history? Why is the Jewish state the most despised country in the world today? Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin, authors of the widely acclaimed The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism, take on these momentous question. Why the Jews? discards conventional explanations of antisemitism to argue that its root causes are, paradoxically, the very convictions that have ensured Jewish survival: the Jewish conceptions of God, Law, and Peoplehood. Drawing on extensive historical research, the authors reveal how these distinctive Jewish values have precipitated universal antisemitism by making the Jew, and now the Jewish state, into outsiders-challengers-to other people's Gods, laws, or national allegiances. |
