Never Again

di Jake Wallis Simons (Autore)

Constable, 2025

When seen through Jewish eyes, the global future looks darker than it has for generations. Fuelled by venomous Israelophobia, violence against Jews, from Amsterdam to New York, from London to Melbourne, is back. Jews across the West are forced to hide their identities, while in the supposed safe haven of Israel they live under constant threat of rocket fire, shootings and stabbings. To make matters worse, in the United States and across Europe, digitally-fuelled nationalist chauvinism is on the march. It is no exaggeration to say that we are seeing the end of the golden age of post-war safety for Jews. This speaks volumes about the health of the West. Although Jews are among the first in the firing-line, liberal democracy itself is under threat from radicals on both sides of the political spectrum. Unforgivably, we have spent decades undermining our own values of patriotism and tradition, loyalty to peoplehood and homeland, a belief in borders and our peculiar religious and cultural sensibilities. These instincts, which had anchored human society since the dawn of history, were repressed in the name of Never Again; but they slowly gave birth to the opposite. Never Again? How the West betrayed the Jews and itself is an urgent new polemic from the author of the acclaimed Israelophobia, which discloses the social and historical causes of the maze of hostility in which Jews are now trapped. Charting the development of this dangerous cultural and geopolitical moment through a collapse in Western leadership since the Second World War, the award-winning columnist, broadcaster and foreign correspondent Jake Wallis Simons offers a searing analysis of the state of the West, arguing that we must remember our older values and stand up for them before it is too late.
