Responses to 7 October: Universities

<p>One of three volumes responding to the 7 October attack <i>Universities </i>focuses on the heartland of contemporary antisemitic thinking which is scholarship; and its reflection in student discourse on campus.</p><p>Contributions go back to Sartre and to debates of Marx’s time; another looks at the <i>New Left</i> forged in the civil rights movement and shows how antisemitic responses to the 2023 violence were anticipated by some of the responses to the 1967 <i>Arab League</i> aggression. The feminist movement and ‘progressives’ more generally come under scrutiny and there is analysis of antisemitism on campus after 7 October showing how it is tolerated and protected there; including in archaeological attempts to deny that there is an ancient Jewish history in Israel.</p><p>This work will appeal to scholars students and activists with an interest in antisemitism Jewish studies and the politics of Israel.</p>
