In recent years Western countries have seen a proliferation of
antisemitic material in social media, and attacks on Jews such as
that on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. Much of
this has stemmed, not from personal hostility to Jews on the part
of this or that individual, but from a resurgence in groups at both
ends of politics of the ancient delusion that "the Jews"
collectively dominate world affairs and lie at the root of all the
world's evils. In Blaming the Jews author Bernard Harrison, offers
a new and unique analysis of this second and far more dangerous
form of antisemitism and its persistence as a cultural phenomenon.
Questioning the assumption that antisemitism affects or targets
only Jews, he demonstrates that, allowed to go unrecognised or
unchecked, antisemitism is potentially damaging to us all. In a
world where rhetoric is fashioned on stereotypes and driven by
political ideology, Harrison argues it is our responsibility to be
vigilant in exposing the delusions of antisemitism and their
consequences for Jews and non-Jews alike.
