Jake Wallis Simons, editor of The Jewish Chronicle and author of the prescient 2023 book Israelophobia, sits down with Eylon for a deep dive into the latest incarnation of the world's oldest hatred.  Simons breaks down the obsessive hatred of Israel, and the Anti-Semitism that it masks, and traces the evolution of Jew hatred from religious to racial, and now to political forms.

The conversation covers the rise of anti-Israel sentiment, particularly among younger generations in the UK, influenced heavily by social media and radical ideologies. Simons expresses concern over the complacency of Western societies, particularly in Britain, where anti-Israel protests have become increasingly prominent. He warns of the dangers of this complacency, suggesting that the West could face serious challenges if it fails to defend its values against growing external threats from countries like Iran, Russia, and China.

Simons also discusses the potential implications of a Labour government in the UK under Sir Keir Starmer, particularly regarding UK-Israel relations, and the possibility of diplomatic crises arising from Labour's stance on Israel and Palestine. The episode concludes with a game where Simons critiques prominent figures known for their anti-Israel rhetoric, highlighting the impact of their views on public opinion.

This episode provides a deep dive into the intersection of anti-Semitism, politics, and media, offering insights into the challenges facing Israel and the broader implications for Western democracies.
