From the bestselling authors of The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism, a compelling discussion of the dangerous rise in antisemitism during the twenty-first century.

The very word
Jew continues to arouse passions as does no other religious, national, or political name. Why have Jews been the object of the most enduring and universal hatred in history? Why did Hitler consider murdering Jews more important than winning World War II? Why has the United Nations devoted more time to tiny Israel than to any other nation on earth?

In this seminal study, Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin attempt to uncover and understand the roots of antisemitism—from the ancient world to the Holocaust to the current crisis in the Middle East.
Why the Jews? offers new insights and unparalleled perspectives on some of the most recent, pressing developments in the contemporary world, including:

-The replicating of Nazi antisemitism in the Arab world
-The pervasive anti-Zionism/antisemitism on university campuses
-The rise of antisemitism in Europe
-Why the United States and Israel are linked in the minds of antisemites

Clear, persuasive, and thought-provoking,
Why the Jews? is must reading for anyone who seeks to understand the unique role of the Jews in human history.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2017
Dennis Prager is Jewish so he's given the matter some thought - understandably. He says that the Jews stand out because they insist on standing out and have done for three thousand years. They are chosen in the sense that they are judged very harshly by their own God. They can't get away with anything. Worship the golden calf for a bit and Moses will find out and give then what for. Their sin is to remain distinctive. Prager and Telushkin are brave to discuss all this.

This book is a real eye opener, I had no idea of the scale and depth of the problems of antisemitism. I am now a lot less ignorant of this incomprehensible and needless evil of antisemitism.

An excellent Account and explanation of the reasons for anti-Semitism. It covers areas I would not have thought of and is therefore supplied me with greater knowledge than I started off with. It also removes the mask that left-wingers assume when they say they're not anti-Semites but anti-Zionists. I recommend it to all right thinking people.

I have asked myself this question many times and this book definitely provides SOME of the answers. It is clearly written from a Jews perspective and i would like to read an antisemitic side, just to balance the argument.

As a jew this is a subject that perplexes me, why are we singled out for such opprobrium and not just recently but for hundreds of years? This book presents interesting insights to the subject and offers well researched and intelligently presented explanations and justifications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deuteronomy 28:15-67
Reviewed in the United States on 30 October 2023
I've listened to Dennis Prager since his 'Religion on the Line' radio show.
I think Deuteronomy 28:15-67 sums it up especially this passage ...

Deuteronomy 28:64-67 NKJV
"Then the LORD will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known-wood and stone. [65] And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and anguish of soul. [66] Your life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day and night, and have no assurance of life. [67] In the morning you shall say, 'Oh, that it were evening!' And at evening you shall say, 'Oh, that it were morning!' because of the fear which terrifies your heart, and because of the sight which your eyes see.

IOW, God is the ultimate cause of the Jews' antisemitism.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a good read...This book provides an accurate, historical record for why the Jewish people have been the most persecuted people...I have known that Jews have been persecuted...My Oma who lived in Holland during the Great Depression told me that there was great suspicion around the Jews...They were accountants and managers of important businesses...The undercurrent of antisemitism was there which resulted in the holocaust...

A good book worth reading...We need to know the history of the Jewish people to prevent antisemitism from occurring...well worth it...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! The best book on this Subject
Reviewed in the United States on 26 December 2023
Telushkin and Prager go behind the backstage. They dig deeper and reveal that most of the reasons given to explain antisemitism are at best superficial at worst antisemetic themselves.

A must read for all.
