A study of Jewish history and religion by retired Israeli professor of organic chemistry. Shahak, a Holocaust survivor who immigrated to Palestine in 1945, contends that the "racism, discrimination, and xenophobia" prevalent among Jews and directed against non-Jews comes from Judaism. He analyzes the Talmud, Jewish history, and Zionism to make his point. The Nation - Christopher Hitchens Subjects the whole history of Orthodoxy ... to a hilarious and scrupulous critique.
