Are these citings, though significant, the real threat to Jews in America? Nathan Perlmutter, National Director of the Anti~Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, former Associate National Director of the American Jewish Committee, former vice~president of development at Brandeis University~and private citizen~sees even more ominous threats to Jews in America: American diplomats who sit silently in the United Nations while Arab spokesmen equate Zionism with racism; American politicians who approve the sale of arms to nations still at war with Israel; American civil rights leaders who advocate a quota system that limits educational and employment opportunities for Jews. From a unique perspective that is at once authoritative and personal, the authors suggest that Jews reconsider their social and political affiliations in the interest of self~preservation, and remind non~Jews of the moral and long~term considerations too often ignored in favor of short~sighted strategies. A provocative and important work that probes the crucial issues facing American Jews today, The Real Anti~Semitism in America is for both Jew and non~Jew, for anyone who believes in the root values of America and its future.
