[ha-Safran]: Encyclopedia of Race and Racism
I went to Gale's web site to get a description of this work. The description clearly states that the work examines anthropological, sociological, historical, economic, and scientific theories of race and racism in the modern era. The very fact that there is an article entitled Zionism makes it clear that it is a racist theory. This inclusion and biased article are a way of legitimizing the 1975 UN Resolution that Zionism is racism. Zionism is the reflection of an aspiration of the Jewish people for a homeland in their historical and ancestral location. I wonder if the encyclopedia has articles about the racism policies in Muslim countries and the history of the Dhimmi. The idea of manifest destiny did not take into account the native Americans or Spanish colonists on the North American continent. If Zionism is defined as racism so should manifest destiny by the narrow definition of the work. What about the Kurds in several countries with no homeland of their own? The list goes on. People publish so called scholarly works that promote political agenda items under the guise of scholarship. We as librarians need to not only protest the work or not buy it but we need to inform the public of the erroneous information it gives and how that in itself promotes racism against the Jews.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Encyclopedia of Race and Racism
I appreciate the efforts of Steven Bernstein and others to combat the inaccuracies of the Encyclopedia of Race and Racism in regard to the article on Zionism. However, I must disagree with Aviva Astrinsky who, in a side comment in this thread, puts the New Testament and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in the same category (best sellers that contain lies). While the tragic truth is that the New Testament has been misused over the centuries as a basis for anti-semitism, and while selected passages seem noxious to our modern ears, a variety of Jewish and Christian scholars has demonstrated that most of the New Testament was originally written by Jews, and the problematic passages were overheated rhetoric (common for the time period) between rival Jewish sects. To characterize the New Testament as containing lies is to misunderstand it in its original cultural and religious context. In no way should it be compared to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

[ha-Safran]: Sustainability
I am wondering if anyone has ideas to share about Jewish children's books related to sustainability/protecting our environment. Our synagogue is beginning a big focus on environmental awareness this year, and I am planning to intertwine this theme with several library classes. I have a number of ideas but would love to hear suggestions /programs from others .
