Presentation of the book “The New Antisemites”

Presentation of the book *I nuovi antisemiti* by Nora Bussigny. Introduction by Stefano Parisi. Francesca Bolino in conversation with the author.

Antisemitism has not disappeared; it has changed its face. In this investigative work, French journalist Nora Bussigny analyzes the emergence and spread of a new form of antisemitism manifesting within political movements, universities, activist groups, the media, and on social networks. Drawing on firsthand accounts, documents, interviews, and extensive fieldwork, the author maps out the networks, strategies, and rhetoric of a phenomenon that has surged with unprecedented intensity since October 7, 2023. The book reveals how anti-Jewish hatred now presents itself in new guises, often intertwining with radical anti-Zionism, the delegitimization of Israel, political activism, and campaigns that gain widespread traction in academia and on digital platforms. Eschewing mere slogans, Bussigny reconstructs the facts, contexts, and lines of responsibility, equipping the reader with the tools to understand this complex reality. The Italian edition, published by Setteottobre, includes a new chapter dedicated to Italy, in which the author examines the country’s specific circumstances—analyzing the organizations, key figures, and dynamics that have fueled the rise of hostility toward Israel and Jewish people in recent years. Combining journalistic rigor with compelling prose, *I nuovi antisemiti* (The New Antisemites) is an essential book for understanding the interplay between antisemitism, anti-Zionism, Hamas terrorism, radicalization, media coverage, freedom of expression, and democracy in contemporary Europe. Nora Bussigny is a French investigative journalist and author. Her field investigations into radical movements and contemporary antisemitism have established her as a leading voice in French investigative journalism. She contributes to *Le Point* and *Franc-Tireur*.
