Reflections on Anti-Semitism - Alain Badiou

Popis produktu

Since the beginning of the `War on Terror,` Israel has become increasingly salient to imperial strategy and ever more aggressive in its policies toward the Palestinians. In this context, a key ideological weapon is the cynical accusation of `anti-Semitism.` For historical reasons, this has been deployed most forcefully in France, and Alain Badiou and Eric Hazan caustically demolish the `anti-Semitism is everywhere` allegation, used to bludgeon opponents of the Israeli state and those who stand in solidarity with the banlieue youth. Ivan Segre undertakes a meticulous deconstruction of a rampant `reactionary philo-Semitism` that identifies Jewish interests with the `democratic West.
