There is no one definitive voice on antisemitism and its impact. Jewish Voice for Peace has...

Thomas Paine's Rights of Man argues that human rights are inherent. As such, they cannot be conferred on citizens by their governments because to do so would mean that these rights can be revoked by that same government.
