Globalising Hatred: The New Antisemitism

Denis MacShane, chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Antisemitism, argues that we are now facing an ideological assault based on hatred of Jews that threatens universal values and world peace. He considers how antisemitism has become a linking mechanism between different extremisms; how it operates in UK national party politics and in the European Parliament; and how Holocaust denial has hardened into an organized ideological position. Globalising Hatred is both a cri de coeur for a new tolerance and an attempt to throw light on a form of hatred that mobilizes politics across many continents.
