Convergence and Divergence: Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism in Historical Perspective

After the Holocaust, anti-Semitism began a gradual decline and loss of respectability
in Western Europe and the United States. Though the communist governments in
Europe claimed to be undergoing a similar shift, the "anti-cosmopolitan campaigns"
and then anti-Zionist campaigns of the period from the 1950s to the end of the Cold
War gave new life to anti-Semitic stereotypes. The hostility of the Western New Left to
Israel and then the emergence of Islamic fundamentalism in recent decades have led
to renewed concern that the secular anti-Zionism of the radical left is making common
cause with the religiously inspired anti-Semitism of the radical Islamists.
The articles in this special issue address issues raised by such concerns. They were first presented at
a conference entitled "Convergence and Divergence: Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism
in Historical Perspective" held in March 2004 at Brandeis University. The conference
was organized by the editors of this journal with the support of the Chaim Weizmann
Institute for the Study of Zionism and Israel at Tel Aviv University, the Sarnat Center
for the Study of Anti-Jewishness at Brandeis University, and the American Jewish
Committee. Contemporary events — especially the second Intifada and its global
consequences—overshadowed the gathering and were an impetus for its organization.
The sobriety of these essays reflects the realities of the moment in which they were
written.
