Summary:

"On October 7, 2023, 6,000 Hamas murderers went into Israel, savagely slaughtered 1200 Israelis, and took 254 hostages. In the aftermath, a storm of Jew hatred spread and continues to spread across the globe. Written after decades of studying antisemitism, this book explores the historical background and the contemporary situation that brought about such a turn of events. The purpose of this book is to explain and expose this form of Jew hatred, steeped in self-righteousness and morally redemptive, in the contexts that have emerged since Ten/Seven. Just as Hamas viewed their actions as something holy and pleasing to Allah, so do many intellectuals and the activists take antisemitic anti-Zionism to be the foundation of a redemptive moral integrity"-- Provided by publisher.
