When seen through Jewish eyes, the future looks darker than it has for generations. Violence against Jews is back. From Amsterdam to New York, from London to Melbourne, Jews across the West are forced to hide their identities, while in the supposed safe haven of Israel they live under constant threat of rocket fire, shootings and stabbings. To make matters worse, in the United States and across Europe, nationalist chauvinism is on the march. It is no exaggeration to say that we are seeing the end of a period of relative safety for Jews. This urgent polemic anatomises the maze of contradictions in which the Jews and the West are trapped. Charting the development of this new phase of antisemitism since the Second World War, award-winning columnist, broadcaster and foreign correspondent Jake Wallis Simons offers a serious analysis of the state of the West, arguing that we must remember the values of past generations and stand up for them before it’s too late. Now with a new foreword.
