Israel Derangement Syndrome
For almost four thousand years the names have morphed, from Judeophobia to antisemitism to anti-Zionism. The cause has never changed.
It is not politics and it is not prejudice. It is a diagnosable disorder in the mind that hates, and it finally has a name.
Recognize. Restore. Diagnose. Treat. Protect. Teach.
The Thesis
Existing vocabulary such as antisemitism and anti-Zionism locates the problem in the Jew.
IDS relocates it where it belongs, in the cognition of the person who hates.
A named disorder can be studied, taught, and treated.
Existing terms focus on the Jew. IDS focuses on the disorder in the person who hates. You cannot treat what you refuse to name.
The Book
Israel Derangement Syndrome: No Jews, No News
A physician turns the discipline of diagnosis on the world's oldest hatred. The result is a framework that names, measures, and treats what political language cannot.

“As a physician, I can attest that the clinical work here is sound. Dr. Farber has established that this is not opinion, not politics, and not prejudice, but a genuine, diagnosable disorder, and he has proven it with the evidence that medicine demands.”
“The hatred in this book does not stay on the page. It comes for Jews in the street. You cannot defend against a threat you refuse to name, which is why this book is essential reading for anyone who stands between our community and those who would harm it.”
“The definitive book on the hatred the world cannot explain.”

About Dr. Farber
Neil Farber, MD, PhD, has spent his life at the meeting point of two questions: how the human body endures, and how the human mind decides. He was trained to diagnose. This book is what happens when a diagnostician turns that discipline on the world's oldest hatred.
