The rise of modern political antisemitism in European politics coincided with the emergence of Zionism. Zionism arose as one of several ethno-nationalist movements across Central and Eastern Europe in the last decades of the 19th century. Contrary to the national movements of an earlier period, they had a distinctly anti-democratic and racial component, rejecting the principles of the Enlightenment and the bourgeois democratic revolutions.

Kessler's books provide irrefutable evidence that the most powerful and consistent critique of both antisemitism and Zionism emanated from the revolutionary internationalist wing in the workers’ movement.

Join this emergency online meeting to discuss the urgent steps required to stop Trump’s coup and defend democratic rights.

Sunday, June 15 4:00 PM EDT

Donald Trump is carrying out an unfolding coup d’état. He has deployed active-duty troops into Los Angeles, overseen a massive assault on immigrants, and is threatening to unleash the military in a campaign of violence against the American people. These actions are part of a conspiracy to dismantle democratic forms of rule and establish a presidential dictatorship in the United States. The military buildup in Washington D.C., timed to coincide with Trump’s birthday on June 14, is the centerpiece of a violent assault on constitutional government.

Mass opposition is already taking shape across the country, expressed in spontaneous demonstrations and hundreds of protests planned for June 14. What is required now is a clear political perspective and strategy to mobilize the immense power of the working class and youth.

Join this emergency online meeting to discuss the urgent steps required to stop Trump’s coup and defend democratic rights.
