The article presents the author's views against a social movement in Germany and the Netherlands to ban Jewish ritual practices in 2012. Introductory details are given noting a call by a group of German doctors to ban circumcision on the grounds of human rights and cruelty to infants. The political backlash in response to this initiative is described. The author asserts that such movements are a resurgence of antisemitism in Europe which deliberately seek to undermine Jewish identity.

The article discusses Jewish writers who post anti-Zionist blogs and articles to the Internet, U.S. relations with Israel, and dissident voices. It is the author's view that anti-Zionist writers are overly concerned about the effect on U.S. foreign policy of the Israel lobby, and that they are celebrated by media outlets such as the "Huffington Post" and the British Broadcasting Corp. The author cites anti-Zionist writers including M. J. Rosenberg, Max Blumenthal, and Philip Weiss.

A response from the author of the article "The Nisman Case and the Whitewashing of Iran" in the April 2015 issue is presented.
