Hamas' terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, did not only mark the beginning of a bloody war on Gaza, altering the political reality of the entire region. It also had dramatic consequences for the Norwegian climate of debate and the situation for Jews in Norway. Across the entire political spectrum, and in civil society, language and attitudes toward both Israel and the situation of Jews have changed. New fault lines have become visible. Torkel Brekke has spent many years studying antisemitism, both nationally and globally. In this book, he builds upon his research to show how anti-Jewish attitudes have experienced a new and shocking resurgence.

«Torkel Brekke writes engagingly well, clearly, and educationally.»

«... a polemical and important book about the aftermath of October 7 ... as an impetus for reflection, the book works well.»
