The Eternal War Against the Jews
The October 7 attack on Israel was part and parcel of two thousand years of violent antisemitism around the world. What can history teach us about the Hamas assault and the international community’s response to it? How have those events reshaped perceptions of antisemitism and anti-Zionism? And how have they impacted Israel-Diaspora relations?
Dr. Rafael Medoff is founding director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, in Washington, D.C., and the author of more than 20 books about the Holocaust, Zionism, and American Jewish history. Dr. Medoff has taught Jewish history at Ohio State University, Purchase College of the State University of New York, Yeshiva University and elsewhere, and he is a Fellow of the Finkler Institute of Holocaust Research at Bar-Ilan University. He is former associate editor of the scholarly journal American Jewish History, and has contributed to the Encyclopedia Judaica, Jewish Women: A Comprehensive Historical Encyclopedia and other leading reference volumes.
His forthcoming book’s title is The Road to October 7th: Hamas, the Holocaust, and the Eternal War Against the Jews.
