There's no one more qualified to write it than Jake Wallis Simons, both as a ground-breaking Middle East security correspondent and Editor of the \u003ci\u003eJewish Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e. It analyses the often prejudiced coverage and intense scrutiny of Israel that so often veers into obsession and outright demonisation; and traces its origins from Medieval European and Stalinist antisemitism to the present day. It discusses why this nation is judged so differently from others in a supposedly rational and progressive era. A companion in some ways to David Baddiel's \u003ci\u003eJews Don't Count\u003c\/i\u003e, it is a book that fascinatingly analyses the dark sides of our world today—political, national, cultural and digital—and exposes uncomfortable truths\u003c\/strong\u003e — SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"I can't be anti-Semitic: I have nothing against Jews individually, I only hate them by the country.\" Such is the delusion that Jake Wallis Simons sets out to discredit in this excellent and fearless book, dismantling its mendacities with a scholarly and logical thoroughness that makes you wonder if there will ever be an Israelophobe left standing again. Buy copies to distribute to your kindergarten groups and universities, anyway, just in case. And then buy another copy for yourself.

In the twentieth century, they were hated because of their race. Today, Jews are hated for something else entirely, their nation-state of Israel. Antisemitism has morphed into something both ancient and modern: Israelophobia. But how did this transformation occur? And why?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAward-winning journalist Jake Wallis Simons answers these questions, clarifying the line between criticism and hatred, exploring game-changing facts and exposing dangerous discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUrgent, incisive and deeply necessary, \u003ci\u003eIsraelophobia\u003c\/i\u003e reveals why the Middle East's only democracy, which uniquely respects the rights of women and sexual and religious minorities, attracts such disproportionate levels of slander. Rather than defending Israel against all criticism, it argues for reasonable disagreement based on reality instead of bigotry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough charting the history of Israelophobia—starting in Nazi Germany, travelling via the Kremlin to Tehran and along fibre optic cables to billions of screens—and using it to understand contemporary prejudice, this timely book will restore much-needed sanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849339064556,"sku":"9781408719282","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/15303513482689.jpg?v=1759041934"},{"product_id":"never-again-by-jake-wallis-simons-9780349000442","title":"Never Again","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen seen through Jewish eyes, the global future looks darker than it has for generations. Fuelled by venomous Israelophobia, violence against Jews, from Amsterdam to New York, from London to Melbourne, is back. 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, digitally-fuelled nationalist chauvinism is on the march. It is no exaggeration to say that we are seeing the end of the golden age of post-war safety for Jews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis speaks volumes about the health of the West. Although Jews are among the first in the firing-line, liberal democracy itself is under threat from radicals on both sides of the political spectrum. Unforgivably, we have spent decades undermining our own values of patriotism and tradition, loyalty to peoplehood and homeland, a belief in borders and our peculiar religious and cultural sensibilities. These instincts, which had anchored human society since the dawn of history, were repressed in the name of Never Again; but they slowly gave birth to the opposite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNever Again? How the West betrayed the Jews and itself\u003c\/i\u003e is an urgent new polemic from the author of the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eIsraelophobia\u003c\/i\u003e, which discloses the social and historical causes of the maze of hostility in which Jews are now trapped. Charting the development of this dangerous cultural and geopolitical moment through a collapse in Western leadership since the Second World War, the award-winning columnist, broadcaster and foreign correspondent Jake Wallis Simons offers a searing analysis of the state of the West, arguing that we must remember our older values and stand up for them before it is too late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eIsraelophobia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTelegraph\u003c\/i\u003e book of the year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'An important and necessary book by a superb and subtle writer' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Important, trenchant and original' DANIEL FINKELSTEIN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'It does the heart good to see one of the greatest expressions of collective animus exposed for the sanctimonious posturing it is. \u003ci\u003eIsraelophobia\u003c\/i\u003e is a book we all need' HOWARD JACOBSON\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Particularly timely' \u003ci\u003eEVENING STANDARD\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'There will never be a book more timely' ROD LIDDLE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A profoundly powerful polemic' ROB RINDER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Fascinating' \u003ci\u003eSPECTATOR\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47340955402476,"sku":"9780349000442","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/ce03d287f89e638711d555b4d5d0f710.jpg?v=1772190478"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/jake-wallis-simons.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
