In the wake of the October 7, 2023 attacks a storm of antisemitism spread across the globe. In Redemptive Antisemitism after Ten/Seven, Patterson draws on decades of studying antisemitism to explore the historical background and contemporary narratives that gave rise to this phenomenon. He argues that a new form of antisemitism—steeped in self-righteousness and seen as morally redemptive—has taken hold in public discourse. Just as Hamas framed its violence as holy, so too do some intellectuals and activists treat antisemitic anti-Zionism as a foundation of moral integrity. This book exposes and explains this dangerous transformation and its global implications.
