THE MACHINERY OF HATRED: How a Century of Narratives Recasts the Victim as the Perpetrator.

THE MACHINERY OF HATRED: How a Century of Narratives Recasts the Victim as the Perpetrator.

And what if history were repeating itself? Since October 7, 2023, an unabashed antisemitism has been sweeping across the world. This hatred, disguised as “anti-Zionism” to evade the law, spreads through the streets, universities, social media, and the press. Slogans replace thought. Facts vanish behind emotional narratives, cleverly crafted and repeated until they harden into certainties. This book mechanically dismantles those narratives: • How anti-racist or anti-colonial ideals can slide into the demonization of Israel and, by extension, of the Jewish people. • How the history of Zionism, rooted for millennia, is distorted to fuel the accusation of a “colonial project.” • How NGOs, international bodies, and coordinated campaigns like BDS contribute to an ecosystem of disinformation. By confronting myths with historical, legal, and archaeological facts, the author lays out a relentless framework of analysis, drawing on archives, academic work, and parallels with the years 1900–1940. A text that does not seek to impose a truth, but to arm critical thinking against an ideological tide which, yesterday as today, turns the victim into the executioner.
