Such threats\nculminated in the nightmare of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe landscape is very different now, as Mark Mazower argues\nin this piercingly brilliant book. More than four-fifths of the world’s Jews\nnow live in Israel and the United States, with the former’s military dominance\nof its region guaranteed by the latter while the loudest voices decrying\nantisemitism see it coming from the Left not the Right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMazower clearly and carefully shows us how we got here,\nseeking to illuminate rather than blame. Very few words have the punch of\n‘antisemitism’ and yet no term is more liable to be misunderstood in ways\naffecting free speech and foreign policy alike. \u003ci\u003eOn Antisemitism \u003c\/i\u003eis a\nvitally important attempt to draw a line that must be drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Mazower\u003c\/b\u003e is Ira D.
