There
is a coalition of political interest in post 9/11 Europe—according
to some commentators—between elements of the new left, the far
right, radical Islamists, anti-globalists, and human rights activists.
Despite their disparate ideologies, they share an animus against
Israel and the United States.

JPR/Institute for Jewish Policy
Research is undertaking
a project to investigate in-depth—for a selection of European
countries—the degree to which these new political alliances
have formed, and their consequences. |
The project aims to analyse:
- The extent, manifestations, and
interrelationship, between anti-Americanism, anti-Zionism, and
antisemitism since 9/11—in the media, politics, public opinion,
academy, trades unions and elsewhere.
- The historical provenance of
such sentiments in the countries concerned.
- The
consequences, in terms of the propagation of hostility towards
Jews. The editors of JPR’s book
A New Antisemitism? Debating Judeophobia in 21st Century Britain,
argue that the singular obsession with Israel by many in this
new political alliance both manifests, and promotes, Judeophobia—a
fear of, and hostility towards, Jews as a collectivity.
