This book examines the most frequent form of Jew-hatred:
Israel-related antisemitism. After defining this hate ideology in
its various manifestations and the role the internet plays in it,
the author explores the question of how Israel-related antisemitism
is communicated and understood through the language used by readers
in below-the-line comments. Drawing on a corpus of over 6,000
comments from traditionally left-wing news outlets The Guardian and
Die Zeit, the author examines both implicit and explicit
comparisons made between modern-day Israel and both colonial
Britain and Nazi Germany. His analyses are placed within the
context of resurgent neo-nationalism in both countries, and it is
argued that these instances of antisemitism perform a multi-faceted
role in absolving guilt, re-writing history, and reinforcing
in-group status. This book will be of interest not only to
linguistics scholars, but also to academics in fields such as
internet studies, Jewish studies, hate speech and antisemitism.
