Anti‐Racism, Anti‐Zionism and antisemitism—Debates in the British women's movement

Abstract

The debate on anti‐Zionism and the attempt to deny Jewish women the right to discuss their experience of antisemitism are manifestations of contradictory elements forming within the women's movement. The movement was established on the basis of perceived similarities between women but, as different groups have emphasized the importance of race, religion, ethnic origin and nationality, regard has diminished for the theme of sisterhood and universality.
