They \u003ci\u003ego there.\u003c\/i\u003e They cover Jews and money. Jews and power. Jews and privilege. Jews and white privilege. The Black and Jewish struggle. Emmanuel asks, Did Jews kill Jesus? To which Noa responds, “Why are Jewish people history’s favorite scapegoat?” They unpack Judaism itself: Is it a religion, culture, a peoplehood, or a race? And: Are you antisemitic if you’re anti-Zionist?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe questions—and answers—might make you squirm, but together, they explain the tropes, stereotypes, and catalysts of antisemitism in America today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe topics are complicated and Acho and Tishby bring vastly different perspectives. Tishby is an outspoken Israeli American. Acho is a mild-mannered son of a Nigerian American pastor. But they share a superpower: an uncanny ability to make complicated ideas easy to understand so anyone can follow the straight line from the past to our immediate moment—and then see around corners. Acho and Tishby are united by the core belief that hatred toward one group is never isolated: if you see the smoke of bigotry in one place, expect that we will all be in the fire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInformative and accessible, \u003ci\u003eUncomfortable Conversations with a Jew \u003c\/i\u003ehas a unique structure: Acho asks questions and Tishby answers them with deeply personal, historical, and political responses. This book will enable anyone to explain—and identify—what Jewish hatred looks like. It is a much-needed lexicon for this fraught moment in Jewish history. As Acho says, “Proximity breeds care and distance breeds fear.”\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsTabs_reviews-box__MlIpA MuiBox-root mui-style-1v28ako\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-h5 MuiTypography-gutterBottom mui-style-h2ouy6\"\u003eIndustry Reviews\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-tgrox\"\u003e\"This is a book where all pre­tense is gone\u003ci\u003e…\u003c\/i\u003ethe authors are hon­est about what they don’t know, assump­tions they’ve made and reac­tions they’ve had.
