Ever since October 7, 2023, we have seen antisemitism fester in the open on the left. Now, however, the right is having to come to terms with its antisemitism crisis.

“In the last six months, I’ve seen more antisemitism on the right than I have in my entire life,” [Senator Ted] Cruz said. “This is a poison, and I believe we are facing an existential crisis in our party and in our country.”

The issue is no longer confined to controversial figures like podcaster Candace Owens, who has been criticized for promoting anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. This week, the spotlight has turned to Nick Fuentes, a far-right activist who has suggested that “perfidious Jews” should be executed.

Fuentes’s social media videos reach millions—especially young men who identify with the “America First” movement. Recently, popular commentator Tucker Carlson gave Fuentes a major platform on his show but instead of challenging Fuentes over his record of Holocaust denial and praise for Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, Carlson offered virtually no pushback.

Since departing from Fox News and launching his own podcast, Carlson has flirted dangerously with antisemitism, developing what Josh Hammer, author of Israel and Civilization, calls a “very unhealthy obsession.” His podcast guest lineup has included a holocaust denier and several critics who have accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians.

Notably, Carlson also called Christian Zionism, the belief that the Jews are entitled to their homeland Israel and that God is not done with their nation, a “brain virus” and “heresy.” Although he had since walked back the comments, he insulted millions of believers, including IFA intercessors.

IFA President/CEO David Kubal discussed Carlson’s antizionist stance, as well as the rising antisemitism on the right, on November’s First Friday webcast. You can view that webcast below.

As antisemitism continues to rise, let’s pray for the protection of the Jewish people. Let’s pray both the right and the left come to see the Jews and Israel as God does!
