  • Trunews and Rick Wiles: "End Times" Anti- Semitism and Anti-Zionism
    TruNews and Rick Wiles: "End Times" Anti- Semitism and Anti-Zionism Rick Wiles Updated January 13, 2020 UPDATE: On January 13, 2020, TruNews announced that Paypal, as well as the donor management companies Bloomerang and Spreedly, had stopped processing their donations. TruNews claims it is still able to process online credit card contributions via Stripe. In an anti-Semitic, conspiracy theory-laced letter to supporters, TruNews founder Rick Wiles ascribed the change to his coverage of "Israeli Mossad’s blackmail operation through the fake billionaire Jeffrey Epstein," adding that we live in "Bolshevik, Zionist America." 1 / 7 Wiles has devoted extensive TruNews coverage to the conspiracy theory that Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli agent who offered sex with underage girls to American politicians and businessmen in order to blackmail them into supporting Israel. "The success of Jeffrey Epstein’s blackmail operation explains how Israel secretly seized control of America over the past thirty years," Wiles said on the January 9, 2020 episode of TruNews. He continued, "The kosher coverup continues, where America’s elite, [are] working overtime to cover up the Israeli child sex blackmail operation that was going on in this country for at least thirty years." TruNews is a funfunfunfundamdamdamdamentalistentalistentalistentalist Christian ChristianChristianChristian streaming news and opinion platform that has increasingly featured anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist content, and also has a long record of disseminating radical Islamophobic and anti-LGBTQ messages. Founded in 1999 by Rick Wiles and affiliated with Flowing Streams Church in Vero Beach, FL, where Wiles is senior pastor, TruNews was previously known as America’s Hope, American Freedom News, and briefly as Christian News Channel.

  • Is Religion Coming Back As a Source for Antisemitic Views?
    religions Article Is Religion Coming Back as a Source for Antisemitic Views? Gunther Jikeli College of Arts and Sciences, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA; [email protected] Received: 20 February 2020; Accepted: 13 March 2020; Published: 20 May 2020 Abstract: The most violent American and European antisemites in the 21st century, including not only Jihadists but also white (and black) supremacist terrorist, made some reference to religion in their hatred of Jews. This is surprising. Religious antisemitism is often seen as a relic of the past. It is more associated with pre-modern societies where the role of religion was central to the social and political order. However, at the end of the 19th century, animosity against Judaism gave way to nationalistic and racist motives. People such as Wilhelm Marr called themselves antisemites to distinguish themselves from those who despised Jews for religious reasons. Since then, antisemitism has gone through many mutations. However, today, it is not only the actions of extremely violent antisemites who might be an indication that religious antisemitism has come back in new forms. Some churches have been accused of disseminating antisemitic arguments related to ideas of replacement theology in modernized forms and applied to the Jewish State. Others, from the populist nationalist right, seem to use Christianity as an identity marker and thus exclude Jews (and Muslims) from the nation. Do religious motifs play a significant role in the resurgence of antisemitism in the 21st century? Keywords: religious antisemitism; supersessionism; replacement theory; Bowers; Poway; Pittsburgh; Jersey; Black Hebrew Israelites Religious antisemitism is often seen as a relic of the past.

  • Antisemitism
    Antisemitism: A Persistent Threat to Human Rights A Six-Month Review of Antisemitism’s Global Impact following the UN’s ‘Historic’ Report ANNEX Recent Antisemitic Incidents related to COVID-19 April 2020 North America • Canada o On April 19, an online prayer service by the the Shaarei Shomayim synagogue in Toronto was ‘Zoombombed’ by a number of individuals who yelled antisemitic insults at participants and used their screens to show pornography. Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino has condemned the incident saying anti-Semitism, hatred and division have no place anywhere in Canada. A Toronto police spokesperson said the incident was being investigated as a possible hate crime.1 • United States o Colorado: On November 1, 2019, the FBI arrested a 27 year-old man with white supremacist beliefs who had expressed antisemitic hatred on Facebook for attempting to bomb a synagogue in Pueblo, Colorado.2 o Massachusetts: On April 2, police discovered a homemade incendiary device at Ruth’s House, a Jewish assisted living residence in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. On April 15, police arrested John Michael Rathbun and charged him with two counts of attempted arson. It has been reported that a white supremacist organization operating on two unnamed social media platforms had specified Ruth’s House as one of two possible locations for committing a mass killing, with one user referring to it as “that jew nursing home in longmeadow massachusetts,” and that a calendar event potentially created by the same user listed April 3, 2020 as “jew killing day.”3 o Missouri: Timothy Wilson, a white supremacist who was active on two neo-Nazi channels on Telegram and had very recently posted that the COVID-19 pandemic “was engineered by Jews as a power grab,”4 was shot and killed on March 24 as FBI agents attempted to arrest him for plotting to blow up a hospital treating patients of the virus.

  • Antisemitism: a Persistent Threat to Human Rights a Six-Month Review of Antisemitism’S Global Impact Following the UN’S ‘Historic’ Report
    Antisemitism: A Persistent Threat to Human Rights A Six-Month Review of Antisemitism’s Global Impact following the UN’s ‘Historic’ Report April 2020 Summary In October 2019, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, expressed alarm about a significant increase, since 2017, in reports of hostility, discrimination and violence motivated by antisemitism around the world.1 This report surveys antisemitic incidents that have occurred in the six months since Dr. Shaheed presented his report on the subject of antisemitism to the UN General Assembly. Alarmingly, antisemitic expression and violence appear to have persisted – and even increased – in a number of countries around the world between October and April 2020, notwithstanding efforts by governments and other stakeholders to implement Dr. Shaheed’s recommendations. The cases and trends highlighted in this report reveal that antisemitism remains a phenomenon that impairs the security and the human rights of many Jewish individuals, including the right to manifest their religion, and that it also threatens the rights of members of other minority communities and democratic societies as a whole. Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, in many countries, conspiracy theories claiming that Jews or Israel engineered or are deliberately spreading the virus, as well as age-old antisemitic tropes associating Jews with disease, have been spread in traditional media and online. Occasionally, Jewish people, communities, and institutions have been subjected to antisemitic harassment and threats of violence; in a few cases, antisemitic rhetoric seems to have played an important role in motivating attempted violent attacks against sites and individuals, Jewish and non-Jewish alike.

    SIMON WIESENTHAL CENTER wiesenthal.com/TopTenAntiSemitic2019 #TopTenAntiSemitic2019 wiesenthal.com/TopTenAntiSemitic2019 JEREMY CORBYN-LED UK LABOUR PARTY ”How complicit in prejudice would a leader of Her Majesty’s opposition have to be in order to be considered 1 unfit for high office?” - Ephraim Mirvis, UK Chief Rabbi In a year awash with anti-Semitism on both sides of the Atlantic, no one has done more to mainstream anti-Semitism into the political and social life of a democracy than the Jeremy Corbyn-led Labour Party. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis warned that anti-Jewish racism was a new poison that had taken root in the party. In the words of MP Louise Ellman, “How many Jewish members have been bullied, abused and driven out?” Members and staff who have dared to speak out against the hate were purged, but not those who declared ‘Heil Hitler’ and ’F*ck the Jews’ or ‘Jews are the problem’. No wonder a poll of the Jewish Leadership Council found that 47% of respondents said they would consider leaving the UK if Corbyn became prime minister. Postscript: The SWC released its #1 choice for its Top Ten 2019 list five days before the UK election. Corbyn’s Labour was trounced by PM Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party in the December 12th elections. Some analysts say that anti-Semitism impacted the voters. Corbyn has resigned as leader of the Labour Party. DEADLY DOMESTIC TERRORISTS TARGET JEWS IN THE US AND GERMANY 2 In Jersey City, NJ, a kosher market was the target of domestic terrorists.
