One of the strangest and, at first blush, inexplicable aspects of the
current social and political scene, remarked upon by many writers, is
the swelling tide of antisemitic sentiment and the orchestrated,
international campaign against the very existence of the Jewish state.
We see it in the divestment campaigns of the churches, NGOs, and trade
unions, in the proliferation of “Israel Apartheid Weeks” on university
campuses, in the modern blood libel perpetrated by the Swedish press,
and in the ramifying anti-Israel resolutions passed by the United
Nations, exemplified most recently by the mendacious Goldstone report.
Why should this be so?
