- Summary
- "These are difficult times for American Jews. In a post-9/11 era of international tension and heightened, suspicion, the U.S. Jewish community has found itself having to respond to charges that it stifles free speech, has divided loyalties, and is responsible for the war in Iraq. Recent books by prominent academics and even a former U.S. president have lent an alarming veneer of credibility to these accusations, which are little more than paranoid fantasies that reinforce persistent, anti-Semitic myths." "In The Deadliest Lies, Abraham H. Foxman - an esteemed representative of the Jewish community and a longtime defender of human rights - reveals these ideas for the falsehoods they are. In particular, he demolishes the claims of an all-powerful Israel Lobby and a global Jewish conspiracy, revealing their historic roots in the most virulent forms of bigotry. He shows how hateful anti-Semitic stereotypes are once again resurfacing and becoming dangerously mainstream. From Jimmy Carter to John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, he addresses head-on the public figures who irresponsibly inspire these ideas and unfairly single out Jews for criticism."--BOOK JACKET.
