Israelophobia: The Newest Version of the Oldest Hatred and What To Do About It is a polemical book written by British journalist Jake Wallis Simons and published in 2023 by Constable. The book argues against anti-Zionism and presents methods for combating it.
Jake Wallis Simons is a British journalist and author who has been the editor of the London-based Jewish Chronicle since 2021.
In the book, Simons argues that the State of Israel is a target of an antisemitic campaign of delegitimization, contends that anti-Zionism is merely a new incarnation of antisemitism, lists eight identifiers for antisemitism, and presents five methods for combating anti-Zionism.
The book received four out of five stars by Con Coughlin, a defense editor for The Daily Telegraph. A review in the journal Israel Affairs by Roza El-Eini said that the book left "no doubt as to the full extent of the threat [Israelophobia] is to the Jewish people and to Israel." George Chesterton of the London Standard called the book "particularly timely," whereas Roger Boyes of The Times opined that it could have made a stronger argument against anti-Zionism. New Humanist writer Keith Kahn-Harris was more critical, describing the book as "an expression of angry, inert futility."
