Tekst achterflap

A sweeping and revelatory history of the hidden tradition of Jewish thinkers who opposed Zionism, from Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser. As one of our foremost Jewish writers he presents a framework through which this history – and its meanings – will be understood for years to come.

In Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, Benjamin Moser uncovers a suppressed tradition that has shaped Jewish thought for generations. Through a cast of artists, rabbis, poets, lawyers, activists, journalists, and politicians from all over the world Moser traces a lineage of Jewish dissenters who confronted Zionism’s moral and political stakes – often at devastating personal cost, including censorship, exile, and death.
Their lives form a sweeping, global narrative, spanning continents and centuries, and converge on a shared warning about the consequences of a nationalist project built on exclusion. They dismantle a powerful myth: that anti-Zionism is synonymous with antisemitism.
