More than four-fifths of the world\u2019s Jews now live in Israel and the United States, with the former\u2019s military dominance of its region guaranteed by the latter while the loudest voices decrying antisemitism see it coming from the Left not the Right.<br><br>Mazower clearly and carefully shows us how we got here, seeking to illuminate rather than blame.
