“Chesler’s piece is highly personal even though it addresses essential questions concerning Jewish life. The book offers a brief history of anti–Semitism in order to enable the reader to understand the current state of affairs. But this work is neither a treatise nor a history—it is a handbook and a guide. The author takes to task those who spout anti-Semitism. She calls out the radical racists. She castigates the media. She skewers academics who deride Israel and do not entertain the idea that Israel is defending itself. Then Phyllis Chesler gives her readers tools with which they, too, can combat anti-Semitism. She provides a list of suggested reading, internet resources, and even films. This is a book well worth reading and taking to heart.” - Micah D. Halpern
