A new book from Haymarket Books, On Antisemitism: Solidarity and the Struggle for Justice, a collection of essays from the activist organization Jewish Voice for Peace, comments on these very questions, exploring the ways that anti-Semitism is harmful and real, while also challenging the false charges of anti-Semitism that are used to suppress Palestine solidarity activism and free speech."
