Elder of Ziyon. Protocols: Exposing Modern Antisemitism. EoZPress,2022.365 pp. $19.95(9798985708431)PBK.This is a selection of writings from the pro-Israel website “The Elder of Ziyon.” It is vigorous and straightforward in its defense of Zionism and Israel and not without humor. For example, after providing an extensive section of a paper by an anti-Israel academic, written in opaque postmodern prose, Elder of Ziyon writes, “Did you get that? Neither did anyone else.”He covers a wide range of subjects, including, in part, the legal status of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, the relationship of anti-Zionism to antisemitism, the intellectual shallowness and dishonesty of many academic anti-Zionists, and the hostility to Israel of certain NGOs. He does not hesitate to call hatred hatred, and thinks that the hatred of Israel, the notion that Israel is uniquely or supremely wicked country, and Jews do not deserve to be equal to other nations in having self-determination in their homeland, is irrational and causes anti-Zionists to see the world in a distorted way.This book is about a depressing subject but its strong, energetic defense of Israel is a tonic.Shmuel Ben-Gad, Gelman Library, George Washington University, Washington,DC
