#BattleFest2018: Understanding anti-Semitism today
Recording of a debate from the Battle of Ideas Festival 2018.
From racist attacks to ominous propaganda, anti-Semitism appears to be making a comeback in Europe. In the UK, the Labour Party has been very publicly split over how it deals with the issue. In one respect, it looks like the simple return of what has been called ‘the longest hatred’. But while anti-Semitism has long been seen as a right-wing phenomenon, particularly since the Nazis, today’s anti-Semites are more likely to rail against Jews in the name of the Palestinians, a favourite cause of the left. Is hatred of Jews really on the rise? Is it re-emerging in new forms?
