Review Quotes

"On Antisemitism...couldn't have come out at a better time...[The book] provides helpful context for this confusing political moment by showing how right-wing apologists for Israel have systematically redefined antisemitism to include anti-Zionism to silence and intimidate advocates for justice in Palestine." --Truthout

"A must-read for all involved in the struggle to build solidarity with the Palestinians today." -Socialist Review

"On Anti-Semitism is a powerful and necessary book and its impressive range of contributors - Jewish and Palestinian - give voice to a variety of viewpoints." -Prisma
