Featuring Elite Experts Combating Antisemitism

Speaker: Dr. Neil Kressel Affiliation: Department of Psychology, William Paterson University Title: "Muslim Antisemitism: A Litmus Test for the West (Part 2)" Convener: Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founder and Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) Location: Fordham University, New York Date: February 14, 2013 Description: Neil Kressel documents the dangerous and growing epidemic of anti-Jewish bigotry in many parts of the Muslim world. Kressel argues that scholars, human rights organizations, religious leaders, and politicians have largely ignored, misunderstood, or downplayed this hatred. He traces such reactions to a complex mix of apathy, ignorance, confusion, bigotry, ideology, purported pragmatism, and misguided multiculturalism.
