Swiss author Maxim Biller’s new book explores the alarming resurgence of antisemitism globally, suggesting it has surpassed levels seen in the 1930s. The work connects this escalating hatred to the current deep crisis within the State of Israel. Biller argues understanding the implications of Israel’s situation for Jewish communities worldwide requires careful consideration of historical patterns. The book seemingly posits a cyclical view of history, warning that past barbarism is not simply relegated to the past but capable of returning. It implicitly addresses the feeling of vulnerability among Jews both within and outside of Israel. Readers are encouraged to seek Biller’s insights to grasp the potential ramifications of these interconnected developments.
