From Judeophobia to Anti-Semitism to Zionhass

It's the Tinker to Evers to Chance of Jew-hate! Here's Melanie Phillips on how the "Chance" is currently playing out in Old Blighty:
By now, it must be obvious to all but the most supine or hostile to Israel within the UK Jewish community that what is happening is an evil uniquely targeted at the Jewish people.
For the demonisation of Israel is of a nature and type extended to no other country.
While atrocities by tyrannies and rogue states provoke almost total indifference, Israel is treated as in a class apart: apparently the very worst country in the entire world, a kind of global blight which has to be expunged altogether from civilised society if not from the face of the earth.
Sound familiar? Oh, sorry, I forgot. Part of the madness is that we are totally forbidden to identify what this actually is - a prejudice directed solely at the Jewish people, who in this latest manifestation are uniquely demonised as usurpers in their own historic homeland.
Few government minsters grasp the nature and scale of what is happening. Most don't think there is a problem, and many of those who do think it is Israel's own fault.
Well, isn't it always? The Jews' fault, I mean. If only they weren't so (pick one, or all) greedy, grasping, dirty, vulgar, stiff-necked, boastful, insular, in the thick of things, rootless, cosmopolitan, nationalistic, etc., etc., etc., no one would have any complaint about 'em.
