Phyllis Chesler demonstriert, wie ein als überholt geltender Antisemitismus heute wieder aktuell und unter dem Deckmantel der Israel- oder Zionismuskritik sogar politisch korrekt zu werden scheint. Besonders nach dem 11. September ist dieser neue Antisemitismus, der keineswegs an nationalen, religiösen oder ethnischen Grenzen Halt macht, zu einem globalen Problem geworden. Die Autorin schlägt Möglichkeiten vor, wie dem Phänomen sowohl von jüdischer als auch von nicht-jüdischer Seite begegnet werden kann. Phyllis Chesler, geboren 1940; emeritierte Psychologie-Professorin und Autorin; veröffentlicht wissenschaftlich und publizistisch; zahlreiche Artikel, Reden, Kommentare und Bücher.
