Reihe: Studies in Contemporary Antisemitism

October 7, 2023, marked a watershed in Jewish life. The Hamas attack on Israel on that date, and the wars that have raged in the Middle East ever since, brought antisemitism from the fringes of society to the mainstream, making it a daily experience for Jewish people in Britain and around the world. Murderous attacks on Jews and the burning of synagogues became, once again, a feature of Western societies, with old anti-Jewish myths and libels repackaged for a smartphone audience. This rise of anti-Jewish hatred was driven by a fervent hatred of Israel and demonisation of Zionism that go well beyond any legitimate criticisms of the Israeli government, and provide fertile soil for hatred and violence. From Be’eri to Bondi is a collection of articles, essays and talks written by the author throughout the period since that date, providing a real-time account of what this growth in antisemitism looked and sounded like – and how it felt for Jews as their sense of safety and belonging in their own countries started to crumble. It provides not only an explanation for why this happened, but also a programme of action for how to stop this most ancient of hatreds from spreading even further.
