[10], 210, [4] pages Includes chapters on Waking Up; A Brief History; The Right; The Left; Radical Islam; and How to Fight. Also includes Acknowledgments. Bari Weiss (born March 25, 1984) is an American opinion writer and editor. From 2013 until 2017, she was an op-ed and book review editor at The Wall Street Journal. From 2017 to 2020, she was an op-ed staff editor and writer about culture and politics at The New York Times. Since March 1, 2021, she has worked as a regular columnist for Die Welt. In her 2019 book, How to Fight Anti-Semitism, Weiss describes the contentious atmosphere t college as giving her "a front row seat to leftist anti-Semitism' at the university. The activism initiated by Weiss was alleged by Glenn Greenwald to be 'designed to ruin the careers of Arab professors by equating their criticisms of Israel with racism, anti-Semitism, and bullying, and its central demand was that those professors (some of whom lacked tenure) be disciplined for their transgressions. ' Weiss has called Greenwald's characterizations 'baseless', saying that she 'advocated for the rights of students to express their viewpoints in the classroom', adding, 'I don't know when criticizing professors became out of bounds. ' In 2019, The Jerusalem Post named Weiss the seventh most influential Jew in the world. For most Americans, the massacre at Tree of Life, the synagogue where Bari Weiss became a bat Mitzvah, came as a shock. Yet 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? This book is Weiss's answer. Like many, Weiss long believed this country could escape the rising tide of anti-Semitism. With its promise of free speech and religion, its insistence that all people are created equal, its tolerance for difference, and its emphasis on shared ideals rather than bloodlines, America has been, even with all its flaws, a new Jerusalem for the Jewish people. 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. 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 as well as 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. Weiss's 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 America's Jews, but for the sake of America.
