Islamophobia and Antisemitism: A Dangerous Comparison
from ISGAP Hosted by ISGAP
Title: Islamophobia and Antisemitism - A Dangerous Comparison Date: April 4, 2016 Speaker: Melanie Phillips Affiliation: Journalist, author and public commentator Convener: Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founder and Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) and Dr. Vivaldi Jean-Marie Location: ISGAP Center Description: Melanie Phillips speaks about how antisemitism in Britain had been the "prejudice that dare not speak its name." She notes that while other forms of prejudice were widely acknowledged, until recently antisemitism was an outright taboo. It was only recently that antisemitism became more widely discussed, due, in part, to the election of Jeremy Corbyn and others who have made bigoted remarks against Jews, as well as the resignation of a number of individuals from the Oxford University Labor Club over the Club's anti-Jewish tendencies.
