How woke progressivism drove a surge in antisemitism in the West

“The barbarous dearth of sympathy for the dead and raped of Israel is the logical inhumane conclusion to a pseudo-progressive politics that judges people’s moral worth by their skin colour, their presumed privilege and their placement on a racial hierarchy fashioned by the unaccountable overlords of western opinion,” writes O’Neill.

The book deftly exposes the hypocrisy of the anti-Israel left, showing how progressives have betrayed the cultural mores they spent the better part of two decades trying to impose on the rest of society.

In a chapter about the response of many feminist organizations to the mass sexual violence that took place on October 7, for example, O’Neill laments how quickly the #MeToo mantra of “believe all women” was thrown out the window when images of female hostages with bloodstained sweatpants and corpses with underwear around their ankles started appearing on our screens.
