Zionism and Antisemitism: Allies or Enemies?

The architects of Zionism expected their movement to eliminate antisemitism, yet today the opposite has occurred. Data shows that Zionism increases antisemitism all over the world. In this lecture, presented at the International Law Institute in Washington, D.C., Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro explained how the state of Israel acts in ways that endanger world Jewry and the reasons it does so. Topics included how to prevent opposition to Zionism from being perceived as antisemitic, and what can be done to reduce antisemitism caused by Zionism and the state of Israel.
