Gary Gindler’s deeply analytical investigation of Left Anti-Antisemitism traces the evolution of Jew hatred from ancient times to its current insidious form, where left-wing intellectuals have made it not only fashionable but morally required. Dr. Gindler awakens his reader to the inconvenient truth that anti-Semitism is not a form of social pathology, psychological delusion, or racism run amok. Rather—and this is earth-shattering—anti-Semitism is a sophisticated, seductive, totalitarian “left-wing sub-ideology” that has lured millions with the promise of purity and redemption. It is a must-read for anyone who not only wants to understand the evil that pervades society but also responds to it. — David Patterson, Professor, Distinguished Chair in Holocaust Studies, University of Texas at Dallas, author of 40 books
This is a dark and disturbing story, the story of how people who think of themselves as empathetic, anti-racist, and broadminded fall repeatedly for the oldest hatred. Dr. Gindler traces the roots of Leftist prejudice from contemporary haters of Israel, back through the writings of Wilhelm Marr, the poisonous journalist who “coined” the phrase anti-Semitism, back through the turgid writings of Marx and Engels, all the way to the earliest stirrings of the phenomenon in the early modern period and even before. Here is a work of important and original scholarship, and everyone concerned with freedom and equality under the law should read it. — Lord Hannan of Kingsclere, House of Lords, United Kingdom, author of 9 books
For over a century, the perceptions of anti-Semitism as a vehicle of the so-called “right” have been taken as an article of faith among many, if not most, scholars and pundits. That ends now. Gary Gindler’s extensive historical archeology of the Left/Progressive anti-Semitism destroys that myth. Moreover, Gindler shows that the leftist origins significantly preclude the modern era, which in itself is a major benefit of his work. — Larry Schweikart, Professor (ret), University of Dayton, author of 25 books
For decades now, concerns about anti-Semitism have focused exclusively upon the threat of a resurgent National Socialism. The determination of the ADL and other self-appointed anti-Semitism watchdog organizations to ignore and obfuscate the roots of anti-Semitism from the Left has been glaringly obvious. Few, however, have dared to confront and expose the Left’s deeply rooted Jew-hatred. That’s why Gary Gindler’s Left Anti-Semitism is so important. Gindler not only provides a comprehensive overview of Left anti-Semitism on the contemporary scene, but also uncovers its deep historical and philosophical roots. This book is an invaluable guide to a growing and metastasizing problem that must be addressed before its inevitable result becomes all too obvious. — Robert Spencer, author of 32 books, including Antisemitism: History and Myth
Anti-Semitism is many things, but in this book, Gary Gindler unveils precisely how it is used as a calculated left-wing political weapon. The goal is to control societies, targeting non-Jews as the ultimate prey while using Jews as decoys. Drawing on his very useful individual-state paradigm, Gindler exposes the ideological roots from Marx to modern Wokeism, revealing both the evolution and persistent themes of Left anti-Semitism, and showing why eradicating it ultimately requires dismantling Leftist power structures. An indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand “the oldest hatred” and, as importantly, to fight it. — Andrew Pessin, Professor of Philosophy, Connecticut College, author of 13 books
Antisemitism became socially disreputable for a few decades after the Nazi Holocaust: some who harbored the virulent old hatred were reticent to express it, perhaps out of a vestigial sense of shame. It is now clear that Auschwitz was never the culmination of the animus, only an advance in development. Jew-hatred, thinly veiled as a critique of Israel, is back in the mainstream, and no book could be more topical than Gary Gindler’s present volume. The author cuts through the specious logic and fatuous posturing of apologists for Islamofascism, with the mental scalpel of a free thinker and professional physicist. He defines the Left, diachronically and synchronically, as the tendency to elevate the sovereign power of the state over the inalienable rights of the individual, with antisemitism as an instrument and appendage of the gospel of unfreedom. The Right, as Gindler defines it, is accordingly any polity where government exists and acts by the consent of the governed and the rights of the individual, including the right to property, are sacrosanct. Where Jews may safely thrive, liberty flourishes. When Jews are imperilled, liberty is in danger. One hopes Gindler’s book will be read and discussed—it is a necessary and salutary corrective to the malaise, shoddy thinking, and moral decay that undermines our civilization. — James Russell, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University, author of 8 books
Gary Gindler’s account of Leftist anti-Semitism seeks not to catalogue events but to unmask this body of ideas “as a calculated political weapon, forged … for control over Jews and non-Jews alike.” In a breathtaking survey touching on dozens of European history highlights, he establishes Leftist anti-Semitism as “a chillingly deliberate march toward population control, with Jews as the decoy and Gentiles as the ultimate target.” His solution? Ignore the “misguided carriers of anti-Semitism” and focus instead on rendering the ideology economically unfeasible and politically unprofitable to its beneficiaries. Read the book to find out the surprising details. — Daniel Pipes, historian, President of the Middle East Forum, author of 19 books
This book offers a sweeping and uncompromising analysis of the political uses of anti-Semitism within left-wing movements, grounded in extensive historical quotation and interpretation. Readers may contest its conclusions, but they cannot ignore the scope or intensity of its challenge to prevailing narratives. — Ilya Shapiro, Director of Constitutional Studies, Manhattan Institute, author of 3 books
