In recent years Western countries have seen a proliferation of antisemitic material in social media, and attacks on Jews such as that on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. Much of this has stemmed, not from personal hostility to Jews on the part of this or that individual, but from a resurgence in groups at both ends of politics of the ancient delusion that "the Jews" collectively dominate world affairs and lie at the root of all the world's evils. In Blaming the Jews author Bernard Harrison, offers a new and unique analysis of this second and far more dangerous form of antisemitism and its persistence as a cultural phenomenon. Questioning the assumption that antisemitism affects or targets only Jews, he demonstrates that, allowed to go unrecognised or unchecked, antisemitism is potentially damaging to us all. In a world where rhetoric is fashioned on stereotypes and driven by political ideology, Harrison argues it is our responsibility to be vigilant in exposing the delusions of antisemitism and their consequences for Jews and non-Jews alike.

Harrison's book, in short, offers great insight into the feverish hate and hysteria displayed by the hardcore anti-Israel crowd. Those interested in the phenomenon of anti-Zionism/anti-Israelism, scholars and laypersons alike, should definitely consult their eye-opening work.- David Rodman (Israel Affairs) Bernard Harrison's book is crucial, essential, and indispens- able to understanding: 1) the nature of antisemitism; 2) the immi- nent threat of antisemitism; and, 3) the connections between Jew hatred for the hatred of the other to the connections between Jew hatred and the hatred of the other. This book is required reading for anyone who wants to understand antisemitism.- David Pattterson - University of Texas (Antisemitism Studies) Bernard Harrison's [Blaming the Jews] is a real tour de force.- Elhanan Yakira (Journal of Contemporary Antisemitism)
