Today we are focusing on the scourge of anti-Semitism. One would think that following Lent, the celebration of The Resurrection, and being in The Easter Season, so-called Christians would be cognizant of, and knowledgeable concerning, the close ties between Jews and Christians. And for the most part, that would be true.
Sadly though, just as most of the Left wallows in hatred of Jews and Israel, so do some of the louder voices on the “Right”. I framed “Right” in quotation marks because while these folks are often identified as being conservative, there is nothing conservative about being anti-Semitic.
The hatred of anyone is deplorable, particularly when that hatred is directed at a group of people. It is rude. And it is irrational. Does anyone really believe that Jews control the weather (other than Washington, D.C. Councilman Trayvon White)? Does anyone really believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu forced President Trump to attack Iran? Does anyone really believe that if only Israel disarmed, and gave the so-called “Palestinians” a homeland, that there would be peace?
I commend to you the following 2 articles. I trust you find them enlightening.
The shocking antisemitism of the right
So-called Christians are some of the worst Jew haters there are
BY: Everett Piper, The Washington Times (March 29, 2026).
I’ve always tried to stay informed. Understanding our present cultural narrative and having a pretty good handle on how our ideas will likely shape our future has always been front and center for me. Frankly, my job has demanded it.
As an educator, how could I possibly pretend to be relevant if I didn’t know what was going on in our world? Bottom line: Over the course of my career, I’ve fancied myself as being “in the know” as well as having a better-than-average ability to predict the attitudes and agendas that are just around the corner and likely to impact our daily lives.
I must acknowledge, however, that my confidence has been misplaced. In all my efforts to stay on the cutting edge of political and social debate, one major trend has taken me completely by surprise. Frankly, I didn’t see it coming and am utterly stunned by its magnitude. What is this movement, and what are these ideas? What is it that I totally miss? It’s the antisemitism of MAGA conservatives and those who call themselves Bible-believing evangelicals and Catholics.
Take last week, for example. On Tuesday, I posted a picture on my social media of the cover of a book I am reading. The title of the book is “How Should Christians Think About Israel?”
My post included nothing other than the photo and my recommendation to “read this book.” That’s it. That’s all it said. I took no position and presumed to grind no ax.
Well, within minutes, my Facebook blew up with more than 1,800 comments. Here is just a snapshot of what my “friends and followers” had to say.
Chris responded: “Modern-day Israel should be turned to glass and given back to the Palestinians.” Caroline chimed in, “Israel is demonic. That’s how we should think of them.”
Luke added, “We don’t need to be told by Jews how to feel about anything.”
Corey was less wordy. He simply said, “F—- Isreal.” Joe was even more concise. He just posted a meme of a man stomping on a bunch of cockroaches.
Glen suggested that we should “Beware of dogs and evil workers; Beware of the circumcision party.”
Perry opined that “Israel is evil” and that “they have killed thousands of women and children.”
James suggested that “any discussion on modern Israel has to begin by acknowledging that it is an illegal state.”
Kris added, “I like the Catholic approach much better. Fully reject Zionism.”
More “friends” than I can count said, “Today’s Israel is not the same as the one described in the Bible. It is a secular state governed by atheists.”
Then there were the more academic-minded folks such as Zane, Jill and Jeremy (and others too numerous to count) who didn’t have much to add other than to say, “I don’t need a book to tell me how to feel or what I see” and “I don’t have to read that book to know how I should think about the corrupt nation state of Israel.”
Finally, there were comments such as those from Dwight and Dino, who said, “The Jews killed Jesus. They crucified the messiah and still deny him today,” and Dianne, who said, “We shouldn’t care any more about Israel than we do Canada. The church has replaced Israel.”
So there you have it. I simply suggested that Christians would do well to learn a bit more about what the Bible really says about Israel, and “conservatives” came out of the woodwork with incredulity. How dare I? How dare anyone refute their long-discredited antisemitic tropes? How dare anyone challenge their highly questionable “replacement theology”?
Ask these people to read something, and more than 1,800 of them respond with “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” nonsense about how “the Jews are evil cockroaches who killed Jesus” and how we should turn Jerusalem into glass.
I just didn’t see any of this coming. As I said, I’m stunned and dumbfounded by it. Another Facebook follower named Billy summarizes it best: “I am simply appalled at the idiocy and lack of biblical understanding displayed here. Do these people not understand that God is not done with Israel? To not get this is to fundamentally misunderstand His plan for humanity.”
Amen, Billy, amen. Even if the acolytes of Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes can’t read a book, then maybe they can at least read a paragraph — and I pray they read yours.

Passover and antisemitism: From pharaoh to Fuentes
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
BY: Don Feder, The Washington Times (March 29, 2026).
They used to say that the only two things certain in life are death and taxes. They forgot antisemitism.
Passover marks history’s first attempted genocide, when the pharaoh of Exodus tried to annihilate his fleeing slaves. It’s a long and winding road from pharaoh to Adolf Hitler wannabe Nick Fuentes.
The road branches off in every direction imaginable: pagan antisemitism, Christian antisemitism, Muslim antisemitism, communist antisemitism, fascist antisemitism, Black antisemitism, liberal antisemitism and conservative antisemitism.
Throughout the course of history, Jews have been everyone’s favorite scapegoats. That the accusations are often contradictory is irrelevant. Jews have been accused of creating both communism and capitalism. Medieval antisemites said the Jews killed Jesus. Hitler believed Jews invented Christianity.
Today’s antisemites, such as podcaster Tucker Carlson with his millions of followers, claim Israel and its auxiliary — the “Jewish lobby” — have dragged us into another war in the Middle East, this time against the kindly ayatollahs, who wouldn’t nuke a fly.
Joe Kent made that claim when he resigned as national director of counterterrorism. Creeps such as Messrs. Carlson and Kent claim they are not antisemitic, just anti-Zionist.
When someone tried that on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights icon replied, “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews.”
There is no shortage of excuses for antisemitism. People hate Jews because they are said to be stingy, even though American Jews are famous for their charitable giving. Jews are hated because they don’t fit into other cultures or because they are said to try too hard to fit in.
Some are offended by the idea of a universal moral code based on eternal principles, which originated at Sinai. In his book “Table Talk,” Hitler said, “The Jew came into our happy pagan world with his thou-shalts and thou-shalt-nots and spoiled everything.”
Jews have been called the miners’ canary, warning of the presence of toxic fumes, such as Nazism and Islamism, which, if left unchecked, will envelop the earth. That’s good for the earth, but how does it help the canary?
Jewish conspiracy theories are legion, predating by centuries the czarist forgery “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.” The Romans and Babylonians probably had their own conspiracy theories about Jews.
“Jews are plotting to take over the world” is still the most popular. How they can accomplish that with 0.2% of the world’s population has always been a mystery to me.
Once they have the world, what will they do with it?
It’s scant comfort to the victims of antisemitism, but every nation that stood against the Jewish people is either no longer standing or teetering on the brink.
The Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Today, their empire is a distant memory. Spain was a rising power when it expelled its Jews in 1492. Then came the defeat of the Spanish Armada less than 100 years later. Czarist Russia ended in a basement in Yekaterinburg, where the last Romanovs died in 1918.
The Thousand Year Reich lasted 12 years. Germany was divided for 44 years and is about to be engulfed by Muslim immigration. The Islamic Republic of Iran is having a fire sale.
Blessings and curses, God’s promises are eternal.
How should Jews confront today’s antisemitism?
First, with unwavering support for Israel. Odious creatures such as Tucker Carlson and podcaster Candace Owens hate Israel because they want Jews to be defenseless again.
Prayer is indispensable. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
In the United States, most terrorist acts, such as the recent assault on a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, are lone-wolf attacks, and security guards aren’t always handy to save the day. Jews should be ready to defend themselves.
Know your friends and your enemies. Among the former are evangelical Christians and many prominent Catholics, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio. A poll at a recent Turning Point USA conference, reported in The New York Times, showed 87% view Israel as an ally.
President Trump is in the process of destroying what is currently the greatest threat to Jewish survival in the world.
Until the Messianic Age, when “The Law will go forth from Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem,” antisemitism will always be with us.
