Published \u200dby Grand Central Publishing, \u200dthe book will warn of the dangers posed by unchecked antisemitism and will aim to clarify the \u200ddistinction between legitimate critiques of Israel and antisemitism. Schumer plans to share personal insights from \u200chis Brooklyn upbringing and his political career, as well as discuss pressing issues such as the January 6 Capitol insurrection and the recent surge of antisemitic acts targeting Jewish students and synagogues. In light of increased violence and societal bigotry against Jewish people, Schumer expresses concern that if America fails to acknowledge the historical context of antisemitism, it could \u200blead to more severe\u200b consequences.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Chuck Schumer to send &lsquo;warning&rsquo; about antisemitism in new book<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1711181\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chuck-schumer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Chuck Schumer<\/a> (D-NY) is set to have a new book out next winter that will detail the resurgence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/antisemitism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"antisemitism\">antisemitism<\/a> in the United States, as well as reflect on his own experience as the highest-ranking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jewish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Jewish\">Jewish<\/a> elected official in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Grand Central Publishing, part of the Hachette Book Group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hachettebookgroup.com\/titles\/chuck-schumer\/antisemitism-in-america\/9781538771648\/?lens=grand-central-publishing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>announced<\/a> Wednesday that the New York senator&rsquo;s <em>Antisemitism in America: A Warning<\/em> will be released on Feb. 18. next year.&nbsp;An online description of the book says it is &ldquo;a warning, informed by the lessons of history, about what can happen when the &lsquo;world&rsquo;s oldest hatred&rsquo; is allowed to rise, unchecked.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/megyn-kelly-trolls-maddow-after-maddow-says-she-has-to-rewire-herself-not-to-see-unmasked-people-as-a-threat\/\" title=\"Megyn Kelly Trolls Maddow After Maddow Says She Has To \u2018Rewire\u2019 Herself Not To See Unmasked People As A Threat\">personal terms<\/a>, it will engage with debates over the purpose and meaning of Israel, and help draw a line between legitimate criticism of its government and when criticism of Israel as a Jewish homeland verges into antisemitism,&rdquo; a description of the book said.<\/p>\n<p>The book will be partially autobiographical about his upbringing in Brooklyn and his time in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rnc-investing-250000-into-newsom-recall-effort\/\" title=\"RNC Investing 0,000 Into Newsom Recall Effort\">elected office<\/a> in Washington.

Grand Central Publishing, part of Hachette Book Group, announced that &#8220;Antisemitism in America: A Warning&#8221; will be published on February 18 of next year. The book&#8217;s online description describes it as &#8220;a warning, informed by historical lessons, about the consequences of allowing &#8216;the world&#8217;s oldest hatred&#8217; to rise unchecked.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>It aims to engage with discussions surrounding Israel&#8217;s purpose and meaning while distinguishing between legitimate criticism of its government and when such criticism crosses into antisemitism. The book will include autobiographical elements about Schumer&#8217;s upbringing in Brooklyn and his political career in Washington. He plans to discuss events like the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol and recent antisemitic incidents targeting Jewish students on college campuses and synagogues.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Schumer emphasized that if America fails to grasp the context and history of antisemitism, it could lead to violence against Jews and an increase in societal bigotry. He noted that many Jewish Americans never believed such issues could arise here but are now concerned they might. Following the October 7 massacre in Israel, Schumer delivered a significant speech addressing rising antisemitism in America, cautioning against blaming Jewish Americans for Israel\u2019s actions while acknowledging how some slogans have been co-opted by terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer has had a strained relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after calling for new elections within Israel due to concerns over Netanyahu\u2019s leadership amid ongoing conflict in Gaza. This upcoming book follows another he co-authored 17 years ago titled &#8220;Positively American: Winning Back the Middle-Class Majority One Family at a Time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2657,"featured_media":2324399,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Schumer-Book-Antisemitism-scaled-1024x717.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[7053,33301,32648,32076],"class_list":["post-2324398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-antisemitism","tag-chuck-schumer","tag-new-book","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Schumer-Book-Antisemitism-scaled-1024x717.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2324398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2324399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
