October 7, 2023, marked a watershed in Jewish life. The Hamas attack on Israel on that date, and the wars that have raged in the Middle East ever since, brought anti-Jewish hatred from the fringes of society to the mainstream, making it a daily experience for Jewish people in Britain and around the world. Murderous attacks on Jews and the burning of synagogues became, once again, a feature of Western societies, with old anti-Jewish myths and libels repackaged for a smartphone audience. This rise in antisemitism was driven by fervent hatred of Israel and demonisation of Zionism: what began at Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7 led, eventually but inevitably, to the massacre of Jews on Bondi Beach two years later. From Be'eri to Bondi tells this story through articles, essays and talks written by the author over that period, brought up to date with a fresh perspective three years on: a real-time account of how it has felt for Jews as their sense of safety and belonging in their own countries started to crumble. It provides an explanation for why this happened, and a programme of action for how to stop this most ancient of hatreds from spreading even further.
