Important Reading
After getting caught up in one of many disturbing nights of reading pseudo-intellectual anti-Semitic hate in Usenet forums, I sought and found some light in the darkness. (For the record, I started my online journey this evening by trying to read about the terrible earthquake in Iran and naturally stumbled upon a ridiculous number of wildly tangential, bigoted posts about Zionist conspiracies and the omnipresent evils of "The Jews.") Here are a couple of links to excellent articles about "the new" anti-Semitism on the Left and its impact in our current world. If you have some time, these are both well worth the read...
Click here for a 2002 article from Mother Jones Magazine about anti-Semitism on the campus of San Francisco State. Although somewhat dated, it remains relevant.
Click here for Miriam Greenspan's cogent, in-depth, December 2003 essay that delves into topics presented by Phyllis Chesler in her book, "The New Anti-Semitism." This is one of the most sane and intelligent articles on the subject that I have read.
