| Zusammenfassung: | "In recent years Western countries have seen a proliferation of antisemitic material in social media and other online outlets and in violent attacks on Jews. The evidence is undeniable, ranging from FBI hate-crime statistics to the attack on Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. In Blaming the Jews, author Bernard Harrison offers a new and unique analysis of the nature 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 on unrecognized or unchecked, antisemitism is potentially damaging to us all.
