The books "The Rebirth of Antisemitism in the 21st Century" and "Mapping the New Left Antisemitism" discuss the resurgence of antisemitism in the modern era, exploring its different facets such as the influence of Soviet anti-Zionism, the connection between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, and the role of the left in perpetuating antisemitic beliefs.
David Hirsh, a prominent Jewish intellectual in the UK, reflects on his family's history of fleeing anti-Semitism in 1930s Germany and expresses concerns about the current rise of anti-Semitism particularly within the UK Labour Party under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.
