Hass ALS Tugend: Eine Theologisch-Politische Analyse Des Hybriden Antisemitismus

The Hamas pogrom of 7 October 2023, and even more so Israel's military response, sparked a firestorm of hybrid anti-Semitism. Combining various forms of anti-Semitism, it allows people to hate virtuously while cultivating powerful moral and political self-delusions. In this book, the well-known Bochum theologian Gunter Thomas reveals the theological-political foundations and moral course-setting of this hybrid anti-Semitism from a critical Christian-theological perspective. Thomas offers observations on the war of images, analyses the postcolonial discourse on Israel, and looks at the formula of double solidarity. He recalls central discoveries of Protestant Israel theology and sheds light on its transformations. Case studies on the World Council of Churches, Palestinian liberation theology and the World Day of Prayer 2024 profile hybrid anti-Semitism.
