Never Again

When 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. It is no exaggeration to say that we are seeing the end of the golden age of post-war safety for Jews. Never Again? How the West betrayed the Jews and itself is an urgent new polemic which maps the maze of hostility in which Jews now find themselves trapped. Charting the development of this dangerous cultural and geopolitical moment through a collapse in Western leadership since the Cold War, the award-winning columnist, broadcaster and foreign correspondent Jake Wallis Simons considers the safety of Jews as a barometer of the health of the West, arguing that civil society must stand up for liberal democracy before it is too late.
