Excerpt:

For years now, Israel has been routinely condemned by the United Nations for trying to defend herself; a veritable public relations hailstorm has been unleashed against the only Jewish state. Orwellian Big Lies have dominated the world media's reportage on Israel. Jews/Zionists have been falsely accused of controlling the world, committing massacres, purposefully murdering civilians, poisoning Palestinian babies and causing Palestinian sterility, etc. Since 2005, Israeli officials have been unable to travel to Britain lest they be arrested and tried as "war criminals" in the UK.

I began actively defending Israel from the moment Arafat launched the malevolent Intifada of 2000 against her. Although anti-Semitism had been on my personal and intellectual radar since the early 1970s, it was not until the 21st century that I began to document a new and lethal form of anti-Semitism, a "perfect storm" in which fundamentalist Muslims, jihadists, and western progressives all agreed that human suffering, every world problem, was Israel's fault, and could be corrected only if Jews were defamed, forced to suffer, and if the Jewish state abolished. I published a book about this (The New Anti-Semitism) in 2003.
