In the years 1969 and 1970, the Federal Republic of Germany and West Berlin were swept by an unprecedented wave of anti-Zionist riots and terrorism. The perpetrators came from the milieu of the New Left, which had exchanged its restrained pro-Israel stance for a vehement anti-Zionism after the Six-Day War. Against this backdrop, Michael Landmann's book "The Israel Pseudo of the Pseudo-Left" emerged as one of the first critical examinations of the hostility towards Israel from the New Left. It has lost none of its relevance to this day.
