"Everywhere you read and hear that you are ugly and hateful. Right now, look at the person next to you: is he hateful ? Is he ugly ? "
And suddenly Rabbi Prinz's listeners, cowed as they had been by the incessant propaganda of the haters, could see the truth: no, the Nazis were not right. They could see the irrationality of all that hatred. They could see, and they knew that they should have seen all the time, that it was not they who were the guilty ones.
This book by Anthony Julius performs something of the same function for us today that Rabbi Prinz performed for the Jews in the 1930's. All around us the "enlightened" tell us of the perfidy of the Jews. who are nowadays called Zionists. If only Israel (read, the Jews) behaved better, all would be well. In the meantime, it is important to punish the "Zionists." Boycott them ! Divest from Israeli investments ! Sanction them !
On the notion of boycott, as on many other issues, Julius is particularly revealing, showing the ancient, irrational hatreds that move people to call for boycotts of Israel, the only country so singled out.
There are scores and maybe hundreds of books on the modern anti-Semitism. I am familiar with many of them. But Julius has historical material (mostly from England) and thoughtful analyses that break absolutely new ground. The book will not and cannot change the mind of anyone who is infected with anti-Semitism, but it will greatly inform the rest of us. And yes, it will confirm that which in theory needs no confirmation: there is no reason, no excuse, nothing whatever acceptable in the anti-Semitic hatreds of our day.
"We cannot escape history," Abraham Lincoln once observed, and it's clear that the English cannot escape theirs.
This book needs to be read.
Julius claims that lazily "received knowledge" of Jewish stereotypes is how some of the greatest minds ever wrote extremely consistent and acutely perceptive explanations of Jewish behavior. Do you really think someone like Shakespeare just believed what mommy told him about Jews? I don't think so. Shakespeare is widely regarded as one of the most perceptive people in history.

Although Julius had made a study of English literary anti-Semitism as a student at University, it is in describing this that his theme becomes weakest. He is mistaken, for example, in saying that Chaucer's (blood libel) Prioress' Tale is followed by an 'Arthurian tale told by the Wife of Bath'. (It is actually followed in the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer's own (comically boring) Tale of Sir Thopas). No doubt there are other errors in the detail, though that does not in any way diminish the importance of his broad argument. The problem is that so broad is that argument that he almost breathlessly gets carried away with it at times, making so many connections that he, and by extension the reader, can get a bit lost. Yet it remains a very important, highly readable book which should be read by everyone who is an enemy of ignorance and racism. This book is timely and definitely needed to be written and published; Anthony Julius has done a great service towards promoting civilized reasoning and attacking knee-jerk reaction in Britain today. It is to be hoped that it might also make some impact on those who, in their blind hatred of Israel, go around self-righteously doing the work of organisations like Hezbollah and Hamas which, quite apart from the crudest racism against everything Jewish, promote random rocket attacks on civilians, suicide bombing, the oppression of women and the execution of homosexuals. These people are at a dinner party or in a theatre near you. They are unlikely ever to read it, but Anthony Julius' book provides much useful material that can at least be used in arguing against such fools.
From that sampling I found much that educated me about anti-Jewishness in English literature. At age 15 (1960), I studied ‘The Merchant of Venice’ for GCE ‘O’ level and had no real concept either of its anti-Jewishness or of its place in the canon of such literature.
However, both at the beginning of the book and in the later sections, it seems to become clear that Anthony Julius identifies as anti-semitic (ie anti-Jewish) criticisms of the State of Israel, and of the policies of Israel’s government, and of Zionism. For him, critics who are basically anti-semitic (anti-Jewish) are simply substituting for the term ‘Jews’, ‘Israel’ or ‘the Government of Israel’ or ‘Zionism’. Other readers will have to determine this for themselves. I do not feel Anthony Julius makes his case here. At times his rhetoric seems like a rant.
I came to the book fresh from the film ‘Denial’ Which I have watched four time: not now sure the portrayal of Anthony Julius is acurate.
Contrast to David Niremberg Anti Judaism The History of a Way of Thinking.
For Julius Anti-Judaism is not an "ism", Anti Judaism surface from time to time without constituting a way of explaining History.
For Niremberg Anti Judaism has become part of the Western and Muslim World way of interpreting History, it has metamorphoses from a religious dogma to a "rationalist", racist and today predominantly political.
Today after 70 years since the last and most devastating of anti-Jewish persecutions to be an anti-Jewish is not perceived as illegitimate as it was in the shadows of the killing fields of Europe. Jews are once again perceive, by some, as a people with a an "agenda" The old stereotype are once again sipping through.
I tend to view Niremberg explanation somehow more explanatory .
