Chuck Schumer Postpones Book Tour Following Protests Over Antisemitism Memoir

The senator's new book critiques antisemitism on the right and left but has drawn criticism from Jewish groups across the political spectrum.

Schumer's book, 'Antisemitism in America: A Warning,' examines the persistence of antisemitism in the U.S., with a focus on both far-right extremism and left-wing anti-Zionism.
The book highlights the January 6 Capitol riot as a personal and pivotal example of the dangers of right-wing antisemitism, which Schumer claims he experienced firsthand.
Schumer avoids equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism but critiques anti-Zionist activism for often applying double standards to Jews and Israel.
Promotional events for the book were postponed due to security concerns after planned protests by both anti-Zionist and pro-Israel Jewish groups.
Criticism of Schumer's book reflects broader divisions within the Jewish community, with some faulting his political decisions and others questioning his approach to combating antisemitism.
