PUBLIC FORUM AND DISCUSSION

A Threat from Within: Jewish opposition to Zionism

Is Judaism the same as Zionism?  Is criticising Israeli government policy and practices anti-Semitic?   Visiting Canadian Jewish academic and author, Yakov Rabkin, will discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict and Jewish opposition to Zionism.
 
Yakov Rabkin is Professor of History at the University of Montreal, where he has taught the history of science and contemporary Jewish history since 1973.  Professor Rabkin is a Visiting Scholar at La Trobe University during the month of May 2009.  His recent book is A Threat from Within: A Century of Jewish Opposition to Zionism. It has been translated into seven languages and nominated for Canada’s Governor General Award. 

‘Excellent, very nicely written and well argued’ - John Mearsheimer, co-author of The Israel Lobby
 
‘A powerful provocative book, exposing much of what western religious and political figures refuse to examine’ - PalestineChronicle.com
