The author discussed antisemitism in Britain in the 1980s and early 1990s. She suggested that the influence and remnants of traditional Christian anti-Judaism could be seen in the antisemitism and anti-Zionism evident in the 1980s and early 1990s both within the feminist movement and wider society.
Michael Ezra (2007). Engage.
The article discusses some of the various forms of abuse of the Holocaust. From outright denial of its occurrence to the specific perversion that lays the blame for the Holocaust on Zionists of the time, the author considers the phenomenon of Holocaust abuse within the far left and right in the West, and its appearance in the Middle East.
David Rich (2007). Engage.
The article discusses the direction that recent abuse of the Holocaust memory has taken in Britain. Efforts to pervert history to imply Zionist complicity in the Holocaust are seen as an attempt to undermine one of the rationales behind the reestablishment of the Jewish state, and as an example of the coalescing of ideas from elements of the British left to Islamist groups, the far right and to Iran.

David Rich (2004). Antisemitism and Xenophobia Today (AXT).
The inter-relationship between the antisemitism of the far left, the far right and Islamists in Britain is considered. The article focuses on the unlikely coalition of far left groups and Islamists in Britain that have coalesced around opposition to the Iraq War and to Israel and the looser association on an ideological rather than organisational level of some Islamists and the far right around notions of a Jewish conspiracy.
Mark Strauss (2003). Foreign Policy. Reproduced on YaleGlobal.
This article places the recent eruption of antisemitism within the context of a backlash against globalisation that appeals to elements from across the political spectrum. It is argued that the search for a cause for modern anxiety about global trends lends itself to conspiracy theory and the identification of a hidden controlling hand. Fitting this bill, the new antisemitism is thus seen to bring together key elements of traditional antisemitic discourse from the far right (Jews as a fifth column, undermining economic and national culture) and the far left (capitalists and usurers, controlling the international economic system).
Ely Karmon (2005). Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and Racism.
The author considers the growing connections between leftist, Marxist, anti-globalisation and even rightist movements with Islamists. He highlights the increasing presence of anti-Zionism and antisemitism in contemporary political ideologies and their role in bringing together these disparate political movements. A link is drawn between these ideological relationships and the motivations for and responses to those carrying out or attempting to carry out terrorist attacks against Jews around the world.
Fritz Voll. International Council of Christians and Jews.
This review provides a comprehensive timeline of key instances of antisemitism and significant junctures in the history of antisemitism from 70 CE to the 1940s. The main emphasis is placed on examples linked to Christian antisemitism.
German-Catholic Working Group (1996). International Council of Christians and Jews.
The study considers the origins and developments of Christian religiously based antisemitism. The practical and theological responses of the Catholic Church to the Holocaust, both at the time of its occurrence and since are explored, as are the implications for the ongoing relationship between Christians and Jews.
Jean-Yves Camus (2006). Engage.
The article examines the origins and development of the alliance in France between several left-wing groups and political Islam coalescing around anti-Zionism and anti-globalisation. The possible consequences for the French Jewish community at a time of rising antisemitic incidents is explored.
