Since 1948, Israel has suffered three invasions on multiple fronts, bloody wars with Palestinian militias, and hundreds of terrorist attacks. Yet Israel has emerged with more territory rather than less, while its permanent preparedness for war and the marvel of Israeli innovation has turned it into the most formidable fighting force in the region.
Undeterred, Israel’s enemies have opened a new battle-front: a full-scale political assault on Israel’s legitimacy. The Anti-Israel Agenda reveals how the institutions of greatest moral and political influence including the United Nations, the campus and the Church are being turned against Israel to isolate and cripple the state until it can no longer defend its interests or its people.
Bringing together the finest minds devoted to the Arab-Israeli conflict, including Alan Dershowitz, Alan Johnson, Col. Richard Kemp, and Hillel Neuer, this powerful and timely exposé reveals how the conflict with Israel has shifted from the battlefield to become both a global and local war, fought in the corridors of power, in the media we consume, the campuses we attend, and in every forum that touches our lives. Engrossing and authoritative, The Anti-Israel Agenda is essential to understanding war and conflict it today’s Middle East.

The story of Zionism, the Jewish movement of national liberation that led to the founding of modern Israel, is animated by leaders possessed with rare vision and political genius. It is also a story of tragedy, false dawns and suffering on an incomprehensible scale. Above all, it is a story without precedent, that saw an ancient, scattered, persecuted people who had limped from one disaster to the next, achieving a return to freedom in the lands of their ancestors nearly two millennia after their exile. In this extraordinary feat of narrative history, Alex Ryvchin tells the gripping story of Zionism, a movement that has become one of the most controversial and least understood political concepts of our time, one that remains central to modern Jewish identity and to war and peace in the Middle East.

In 2019, a young man carried out a deadly shooting in a synagogue in San Diego to avenge a notorious blood libel case from 15th century Europe. In 2018, Robert Bowers murdered 11 elderly worshippers in Pittsburgh, claiming inspiration from the Gospel of John. The musician, Kanye West conducted a weeks long media campaign seen by millions, accusing Jews of controlling Presidents, corrupting Christian values and enslaving Black entertainers. In Paris, a Jewish phone salesman who lived in public housing was brutally murdered by a gang whose ringleader ordered the abduction and extortion of a Jewish victim because “Jews are loaded with money.” Where do these beliefs come from? Why are they still prevalent today? The 7 Deadly Myths traces antisemitism from its earliest origins to the present day and uncovers the dangerous conspiracy theories that lead people and nations to diabolical acts. A ground-breaking work that finally answers the questions of how antisemitism takes hold, how it is transmitted and how it can be stopped.
“A smart, concise and very up-to-date guide to the world’s oldest hatred.”
— David Baddiel, author of Jews Don’t Count
“With clarity and penetrating insight, Alex Ryvchin unravels the mystery of anti-Semitism. By shifting emphasis from the ‘why’ of this puzzling and dangerous phenomenon to the ‘how’ of the mechanics of its transmission, Ryvchin points to the possibility of actually confronting and defusing it. This highly intelligent and well-written work should be on the mandatory reading list of anyone seeking to understand the age-old phenomenon of anti-Semitism, but moreso, of anyone concerned with the ethical fate of the human race.”
- His Excellency Isaac Herzog, President of the State of Israel
“In succinct, well-informed, and lucidly composed chapters, Alex Ryvchin focuses on seven of the most persistent and deadly myths that fuel such animosity. Readers interested in a brief but illuminating explanation of many of the causative factors behind antisemitism will benefit from Mr. Ryvchin’s vividly-drawn presentation of age-old anti-Jewish stereotypes. For all of their irrationality, they hang on threateningly to this day.”
— Alvin H. Rosenfeld, Professor of English and Jewish Studies and Irving M. Glazer Chair in Jewish Studies, Indiana University
“Alex Ryvchin has made a significant contribution to the field of antisemitism studies. In a very readable narrative, he uses seven of the most powerful stereotypes about Jews to encompass the history of Jew hatred and in doing so lends perspective to what’s happening now. At this moment in history when antisemitism has found new life around the world, this is a timely and important work.”
— Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO and National Director
“Carefully researched and graphically expressed, Alex Ryvchin's The 7 Deadly Sins systematically demolishes those anti-Semitic tropes, deeply embedded in Western culture, that are once again surfacing with potentially deadly implications. A trenchant warning of the sort that was all too easily ignored in Germany in 1933.”
— Victor Lieberman, Raoul Wallenberg Distinguished University Professor of History, University of Michigan
Alex has spoken at universities including Yale and Texas, in parliaments throughout the world, gala dinners, major fundraisers and conferences, sharing his analysis of global affairs, history and his personal story.
Alex has appeared on leading television and radio networks in the United States, United Kingdom, Israel and Australia and is frequently quoted and cited in major publications.

In the dying words of the resistors, we see another common theme. Amid it all was a crushing loneliness, a sense that they existed and were being erased as if on an island, unseen, unknown, cut off from all the world that was indifferent and oblivious to their tortured fate. That no one would know they ever lived and died.
Daily Telegraph
When Vladimir Putin launched his “special operation” against Ukraine on 24 February, his mission was clear. The “Nazi” government in Kyiv was to fall – within 72 hours by most estimates – and the Russian-speaking majority in the eastern regions of Ukraine would be rescued from “genocide”.
