This week’s Fathom Highlight is our regular Review of Books. Given recent events in the UK Labour Party Colin Shindler’s review of Socialism of Fools: Capitalism and Modern Anti-Semitism by Michele Battini is timely, as is David Lowe appreciation of Dennis Ross’s The US-Israel Relationship from Truman to Obama. Jonathan Rynhold writes in praise of Colin Shindlers’s The Rise of the Israeli Right: From Odessa to Hebron, while Robert Fine’s critical appreciation of Kenneth L. Marcus’s important study The Definition of Anti-Semitism and Keith Kahn-Harris study of Svenja Gertheiss’s Diasporic activism in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict also concern debates of contemporary urgency.
Our voice of the week is Soner Cagaptay, director of the Turkish Research Program at the Washington Institute, and James Jeffrey, former US ambassador to Turkey, discussing the dynamics behind the failed military coup in Turkey on 15 July, how the coup was thwarted, what President Erdogan will do next, and how the escalating purges might impact on Ankara’s relations with Washington.
Our picture of the week is the annual Gay Pride parade in central Jerusalem on 21 July which attracted more than 25,000 marchers.
