Robert Wistrich – Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia: Old Fears… New Threats? Mon 16 Feb at 20:00

Mehdi Hasan challenges leading Jewish scholar Robert S. Wistrich over why he thinks criticism of Israeli policies in the Middle East is a modern manifestation of historical anti-Jewish hatred.  Is anti-Zionism the new face of anti-Semitism?  Are boycotts of Israel driven by prejudice or principle?  Is criticism of the Palestinians and the Muslim world Islamophobic? And should we take Islamophobia more seriously?
