Islamophobia & Israel - Paperback

by Donna Nevel (Author), Elly Bulkin (Author)

This book explores the intersection of Islamophobia and Israel-and the ways that the U.S. "war on terror" impacts both. The authors challenge the Jewish community's use of a "pro-Israel" litmus test of who is a "good" Muslim;" trace the funding connections and other links between Islamophobia and right-wing pro-Israel supporters; document the ADL's history of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab actions; and analyze two high-profile post-9/11 anti-Muslim campaigns.
