Description

There is a kind of inherited madness that affects many people. It clouds their thinking, stimulates their emotions and often provokes them into action. It's a madness because there is no logic in it, no single justification for it, yet it speaks with a sinister elegance, often with disastrous consequences. It is often denied because it can be clever at disguising itself, like a particularly nasty virus, yet it lurks in dark places, always ready to spring into action, when the conditions are right to do so. It goes by the name of anti-Semitism, succinctly described as 'the longest hatred'. It has been around for over 4,000 years, ever since the Jewish people left the desert to live in communities, albeit as slaves to a rather horrid Pharaoh. It may have found its dominant expression in religion but it has learned to adapt and incredibly finds a home in virtually every aspect of human endeavour, as we shall see as this story develops. The purpose of this little book is to expose the layers of hatred, as if peeling an onion, to shed light on the variety of aspects, scenarios and environments that this hatred has infiltrated. Each layer may be viewed as an oddity, or an unfortunate quirk, but, as the peeling gathers pace, the evidence of madness becomes undeniable as we witness perhaps the most insidious unspoken conspiracy in the history of mankind. Truth outstrips fiction as right-minded people collectively declare, 'you couldn't make this up!'
