Antisemitism Real and Imagined: the attack on open debate and effective democratic discourse
September 28, 2010
Professor Keefer is on a cross-Canada book tour to discuss his recent book, Anti-Semitism Real and Imagined: Responses to the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism. In a 27 August 2010 review in the Globe and Mail Gerald Caplan wrote:
“Every day Israel unwittingly creates more bitter, despairing, hopeless Palestinians
with nothing to lose, and so the existing vicious cycle is perpetuated. Does our
government understand this? For that reason, I highly recommend Michael
Keefer’s indispensable new book…Mr. Keefer…has pulled together writings of his
own and others to expose the ugly attempts by the Conservative government and
influential Jewish organizations to damn any criticism of the government of Israel
as an attack on the very existence of the Jewish state.”
