Abstract:
An analysis of developments within the civil rights movement during 1966-67, and the emergence of blatant Black antisemitism. Focuses on the SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee), a Black militant group supported by New York radical left-wing Jewish circles. Black leaders found that socialist ideology did not attract the Black masses, and turned instead to nationalism and separatism. A virulent anti-Israel attack in the summer of 1967 (following the Six-Day War) served as a test of their break with the civil rights past and their ties with Whites. For the Jews it was a sign of growing Black antisemitism.
