It fizzled out at the end. I read it, assuming you were working towards a grander argument, which is how the book is fashioned. Gr8 history of antisemitism, especially in US. But somewhere b/w ch 4 and ch 5 you drop the ball. You ended up just taking pot shots at everyone.
To all the social justice warriors lending their huzzahs to @rabbijilljacobs this morning, I would urge you to actually read "(((Semitism))): Being Jewish in America in the Age of Trump." I would bet that you agree with my conclusions.http://read.macmillan.com/lp/semitism-jonathan-weisman/?utm_source=authorsocialpost&utm_medium=socialpost&utm_term=na-semitismsocial&utm_content=na-buy-buynow&utm_campaign=9781250169938 …

Sounds like
@Jane_Eisner read it & came to same conclusion : that you didn't talk about the massive amount of social justice work happening, ignored non-legacy orgs, & didn't quote women leaders. Happy to catch you up on what's actually happening if you're interested. -
Jill, I get that you really want credit for the work you are doing. I wrote a book on the rise of white nationalism and the threat that it poses, not only to Jews but to African Americans, Latinos, immigrants and Muslim Americans. There is more to it than what you are up to.

Not just me (or
@truahrabbis ) but the dozens of other Jewish social justice orgs (56 in the@JSJ_Roundtable ) & the thousands of rabbis & Jewish community members in the work every day. Including many tackling white nationalism & anti-Semitism. -
I'd also point to an ever growing Facebook group called Torah Trumps Hate. It has thousands of members, including clergymembers, writers, and communal leaders. Plus
@weareavodah where I'm a fellow.

using the right-wing term of art "social justice warriors" will not earn you any benefit of the doubt

But isn’t the rabbi’s point that you’re representing American Jews poorly to the outside community (assuming non-Jews would be more likely to read an op-ed or interview than a full book)? The book could be spot on, but this defense isn’t engaging her point.

You are proving to be a very poor spokesperson for this cause. I don't know what you're trying to prove with grade school insults directed at critics, but what is coming across is that you have some personal stuff to work out that you clearly have not.
