About the Radicalism of fools
The Radicalism of fools was set up by Daniel Ben-Ami to help develop a better understanding of anti-Semitism. It stands for:

■ Opposition to identity politics as a key driving force behind contemporary anti-Semitism
■ An understanding that Islamism – as opposed to Islam – is a serious threat to Jews today
