Meticulously researched while reading like a fast-paced thriller, this explosive new book details the way the Israel lobby deployed charges of anti-Semitism to destroy Jeremy Corbyn’s bid for power as leader of the Labour Party.In an electrifying account, investigative journalist Asa Winstanley shows how Labour’s anti-Semitism crisis was manufactured by pro-Israel groups. Despised and feared by Israel and its allies because of his long-standing support for the Palestine solidarity movement, Jeremy Corbyn became a target of enemies determined to abort his left-wing project.Drawing on new interviews with many of those victimized in purges the Labour leadership claimed were necessary to tackle anti-Semitism, Winstanley exposes a plot by the Israel lobby, in alliance with the Labour right and Israeli and British intelligence agencies, to prevent a socialist entering Downing Street.An essential historical corrective, Weaponising Anti-Semitism shines light into the murkiest corners of the British state and those who work with it.

A chilling account of how a military doctrine, a media narrative, and a national ideology converged on October 7, 2023.In the immediate aftermath of a shock offensive in southern Israel, Western media rapidly fixed on a single claim: that Hamas murdered 1,200 Israelis. That claim was endlessly repeated, rarely scrutinised, and quickly transformed into moral cover for Israel’s subsequent assault on Gaza. Yet inside Israel, a very different account quietly emerged: one almost entirely ignored outside Hebrew-language media.Drawing on carefully translated Israeli press reports, eyewitness testimony, and official statements, investigative journalist Asa Winstanley shows that Israeli forces activated the long-standing Hannibal Directive that day, a military doctrine that permits the killing of one’s own citizens to prevent their capture. An unknown number of Israelis were killed by Israeli fire as the army targeted vehicles, homes, and escape routes, a reality later acknowledged even by senior Israeli officials, including Israel’s then defence minister Yoav Gallant.As in Weaponising Anti-Semitism, Winstanley exposes how unverified atrocity stories were amplified to suppress scrutiny and manufacture consent for mass violence. He also reveals something more unsettling: that many Israelis appear to accept the logic of the Hannibal Directive as a necessary price of maintaining a Jewish state. Shaped by decades of militarisation and ideological conditioning, this acceptance normalises extreme state violence—even when it turns inward.This book is a forensic account of a buried truth, a media failure, and a national logic pushed to its limit. This is the story of the Suicide Nation.
