Beskrivelse
Why did the very same British parliamentarians pass the 'Jew Law' in June of 1753 and then repeal it within six short months? Why would such a law threaten the existence of a legitimately elected democratic government? What forces were at work? Yoel Sheridan has shone a wide-beamed searchlight on this controversial subject and has revealed the reality that antisemitism is an evil amorphous concept that can, and has been, weaponized to promote hidden agendas that pose serious threats to democratic governments and societies. This was true in Britain in 1753 and in Germany in 1933. Are there not parallels today? Sheridan has brought the past to the present, asked the questions, explored the many sources, unravelled the mysteries, and provided the answers - all in a concise and eloquent style. This slim book makes a major contribution to the understanding of the wider implications of unbridled antisemitism.
