Today the first number of the „Journal for the Study of Antisemitism“ was released!
„The Journal for the Study of Antisemitism (JSA) is a select group of independent scholars who are interested in examining antisemitism in all its forms. This group is not affiliated with any institution or financially dependent on a single source of funding. We have in common an understanding of antisemitism as a social pathology that must be eradicated.“
Some of the most outstanding scholars and activists against antisemitism are among the editorial respective advisory board, including:

Journal for the Study of Antisemitism
My contribution „Antisemitism as a Specific Phenomenon“ is dealing with the Berlin Center for Research on Antisemitism (ZfA), its professors Wolfgang Benz and Werner Bergmann, their wrong equalization of „Islamophobia“ and antisemitism and other aspects of their downplaying of antisemitism:
This is a groundbreaking journal, combining scholarship with political analysis in a time of silence, when it comes to criticize antisemitism. Many thanks to founding editor Steven K. Baum, Ph.D., and his enthusiasm to realize this project!
