About this listen
Experience teaches that the burden of guilt is as difficult as the burden of obligation. Philosophers note that irritation with this burden can quickly turn to resentment.
So should Jews therefore be careful not to present themselves as victims? Does the same law apply to anti-Semitism? Howard Jacobson wonders if this chain of animosity can ever be broken.

Great polemical prose from Jacobsen
I was only left wishing for more (worryingly there is much more to say on this subject since he penned this.) Jacobsen deftly shifts between thought provoking observation and landing terse punches on his targets

Most relevant today
He writes well and with humour about this desperately tragic of subject. I highly recommend it as well as the latest literature on the subject. We need to inform ourselves, to refine our appreciation and understanding. And to be mindful always.

What I have thought, but without having the words
Elegantly written and I will be listening to this a second time. I have had many conversations with people who I love and are liberal, kind souls, but have slipped into saying things that I feel are coming from a growing dark place, auto-cleansed by anti-Zionism and hatred for those who oppress.

Important and concise message
I thought it was well performed, and the essay made incredibly valid points. It was well written and sharp.

Food for thought.
Would you listen to When Will Jews Be Forgiven the Holocaust again? Why?
Yes. There is much to think about in this essay. A lot of ground is covered. The serious nature of the essay warrants a second reading. It is well written making it worth rereading to get even more out of the book.
What did you like best about this story?
Howard Jacobson challenges us to look at our prejudices. One can never be complacent about racism. Love and compassion is always the better option.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
How we can rationalise our hatred through objectification and denial. How easy it is to be lazy about questioning the status quo. This book challenges us to look within and be ever vigilant. A well thought out and written essay.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Hatred is a mirror.
Any additional comments?
It is difficult to be accepting of other, of differences, but we must try to be. Love, acceptance and compassion is a way to guard against bigotry and hatred.

Needs to be widely distributed
An excellent put down of the left antisemites. Especially that nasty piece of work Carol Churchill

This Essay Has Aged Like Fine Milk!
To listen to this essay while Zionist War Criminals are one full year into committing a new holocaust and declaring that "We Can Never Forgive The Arabs For Making Us Kill Their Children" is the greatest, defining irony of all time! Dx
