Voices on Antisemitism features a broad range of perspectives about antisemitism and hatred today. Alan Dershowitz is concerned over what he views as a rising tide of antisemitic speech on American college campuses: "When I was growing up, antisemitism determined where we could work, where we could live, where we could go to school, who we could socialize with.

An anti-Semitic terrorist group whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel and whose leaders incite genocide against the Jewish people are employing a new weapon in a cynical effort to obtain international support for their bigoted aims: their new weapon is the use of civilians as both targets and shields.

The Case Against Israel's Enemies: Exposing Jimmy Carter and Others Who Stand in the Way of Peace  Dershowitz begins with a denunciation of Jimmy Carter, and he concludes with an appendix that systematically refutes many claims advanced in Carter's bookPalestine: Peace Not Apartheid. Though the former president receives Dershowitz's most thorough criticism, the author also identifies and scrutinizes many other "enemies," from Noam Chomsky and Patrick Buchanan to Hezbollah and the Iranian government. Dershowitz assumes the posture of a litigator, but his deep convictions and previous history with many of the book's subjects lend a more personal tone to his critiques.
