How to Fight Anti-Semitism

The prescientÂ New York TimesÂ writer delivers an urgent wake-up call to all Americans exposing the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in this countryâ€”and explains what we can do to defeat it.
Â
â€œStunning . . . Bari Weiss is heroic, fearless, brilliant and big-hearted. Most importantly, she is right.â€â€”Lisa Taddeo, #1Â New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ Three Women
Â
On October 27, 2018, eleven Jews were gunned down as they prayed at their synagogue in Pittsburgh. It was the deadliest attack on Jews in American history.
Â
For most Americans, the massacre at Tree of Life, the synagogue where Bari Weiss became a bat mitzvah, came as a total shock. But anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred, commonplace across the Middle East and on the rise for years in Europe. So that terrible morning in Pittsburgh raised a question Americans can no longer avoid: Could it happen here?
Â
This book is Weissâ€™s answer.
Â
Like many, Weiss long believed this country could escape the rising tide of anti-Semitism. But now the luckiest Jews in history are beginning to face a three-headed dragon known all too well to Jews of other times and places: the physical fear of violent assault, the moral fear of ideological vilification, and the political fear of resurgent fascism and populism.
Â
No longer the exclusive province of the far right, the far left, and assorted religious bigots, anti-Semitism now finds a home in identity politics and the reaction against identity politics, in the renewal of America First isolationism and the rise of one-world socialism, and in the spread of Islamist ideas into unlikely places. A hatred that was, until recently, reliably taboo, anti-Semitism is migrating toward the mainstream, amplified by social media and a culture of conspiracy that threatens us all.
Â
Weissâ€™sÂ cri de coeur is an unnerving reminder that Jews must never lose their hard-won instinct for danger, and a powerful case for renewing Jewish and American values in uncertain times from one of our most provocative writers. Not just for the sake of Americaâ€™s Jews, but for the sake of America.
