Epilogue - Instrumentalising and blaming 'the Jew', 2011-2016

Evelien Gans epilogue explores the proposition that the Shoah and Israel have come to function as two important points of fixation for expressions of antisemitism. The epilogue suggests themes listed in earlier chapters, new elements and recent development, including ‘selective philosemitism’ and antisemitic enthusiasm, the ritual slaughter of animal and navigating between antisemitism, jihadism and Islamophobia.
