If your starting position is that Israel has no right to exist – to “push it into the sea” as the Iranian regime charmingly puts it – this probably isn’t the book for you. Israelophobia by Jake Wallis Simons is not a simple defence of Israel, nor an attempt to deny its responsibilities in the tragedy of Israeli-Palestinian relations, but an examination of the way Israel has been weaponised in the culture war by an evolving strain of antisemitism.

When will Israel be allowed to fight the terror in its midst and defend itself without drawing criticism from all sides?

It is bigotry not to recognize Palestinians as an independent entity and acknowledge their historical rights. Making that charge is the most effective way to counter false charges of antisemitism.
