Islamophobia & Israel
"In our darkest hours as American Muslims living in a post 9/11 America, Donna and Elly's works have shined a light on the injustice and the bigotry that has plagued our society and most often targeted innocent Muslims. Their genuine commitment and solidarity have served as hope and stepping stones towards healing, coalition building and action. Donna and Elly are critical voices that should be heard and their words acted upon."Linda Sarsour, Muslim community leader;Executive Director, Arab American Association of New York"A powerful exposé by courageous Jewish-American activists.  Shows how Islamophobia is not a spontaneous development but part of a carefully orchestrated campaign to shape U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.  Essential reading for anyone committed to peace and social justice."Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Women's and Gender Studies, Syracuse University;Member, Indigenous and Women of Color Solidarity Delegation to Palestine, 2011"Before 9/11 it was the Arabs who were the terrorists. After 9/11 it was the Muslims. So Arabo-phobia was transformed by 9/11 into Islamophobia. There always needs to be an enemy. This book brilliantly lays out how all this has taken place."Abdeen Jabara, civil rights attorney; former president of theAmerican-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC)"Elly Bulkin and Donna Nevel have done truly groundbreaking work with this meticulously researched and incisively analyzed series of articles. The thoroughness and clarity with which they have illuminated the convoluted connections between Islamophobia in the U.S. and U.S. support for destructive Israeli policies make it a tremendous resource for both activists and scholars."Rebecca Vilkomerson, Executive Director, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP)
