Antisemitism is on the march across the world, although its proponents try to hide it under the label of \u201canti-Zionism\u201d or \u201ccriticizing Israel.\u201d Those euphemisms leave them free to call for exterminating a tiny, humanist nation that just coincidentally<\/em> is officially Jewish, while ignoring the myriad countries around the world that engage in the most anti-human behaviors (many of which are Israel\u2019s mortal enemies).<\/p>

As a Jew, I care, especially because I have no wish to see another compound with the phrase \u201cArbeit macht frei<\/em>\u201d displayed at the entrance. But I believe everyone should care. Why? Because antisemitism is the harbinger of the death of liberty within a country, not just for the beleaguered Jews, who are the canaries in the coal mine, but for everyone else, too.<\/p>\n

Rising antisemitism around the world is a problem. Most recently in the U.S., Rep. Ro Khanna, the multi-multi-multi-millionaire (a marriage thing, with a fabulously wealthy wife whose trades have created a serious appearance of impropriety and questions about conflicts of interest), went out of his way to create a fake international incident tarring Israel and its citizens as dangerous rogue militias out to attack American congressmen. The truth, of course, was somewhat different:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Let’s not lose our grip on the facts – instead of recriminations and accusations – just the facts.\n\r\n1) Congressman @RoKhanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel – this goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country. He was offered in-depth\u2026<\/p>\r\n\u2014 Ambassador Yechiel (Michael) Leiter (@yechielleiter) July 13, 2026<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Khanna didn\u2019t do this because he\u2019s a dyed-in-the-wool antisemite. He did it because he believes he can be president and, in today\u2019s Democrat party, antisemitism is an important stepping stone to national prominence. That\u2019s because the Democrat party is now a Marxist party, unrelated to its past as a patriotic, workingman\u2019s party as it was during the mid-20th century (although I would argue, very closely related to its slavery history). Its modern Marxist goals are bigger government and smaller people.<\/p>\n

And with those goals comes the inevitable Jew hatred: Marx was a virulent antisemite, and Hitler\u2019s fascism was Marxian socialism, complete with antisemitism, differentiated only by a \u201cprivate ownership under government control\u201d twist.<\/p>\n

In America, it\u2019s not just the Democrats who now see bashing the world\u2019s only Jewish nation as a path to power. People who once claimed allegiance to the Republican party\u2014e.g., Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, Joe Kent, and others\u2014are steeped in antisemitism, which they carefully paint as hatred for the \u201crogue,\u201d \u201cgenocidal\u201d nation of Israel.<\/p>\n

If you glance at Tucker\u2019s output, the former middle-of-the-road Fox News host is now a fan of the world\u2019s tyrannies and a paranoid maniac when it comes to America\u2019s most stalwart ally and the only liberal democratic republic in the entire antisemitic swath of land that bands the globe from West Africa to Eastern Russia. It\u2019s no coincidence that Tucker now happily hosts talks with some of the left\u2019s most virulent antisemites. They have coalesced around a common cause.<\/p>\n

Travel abroad, and you\u2019ll see the same. Most recently, I saw that Australia, a formerly free nation that showed its new totalitarian incarnation during COVID (not all regions, but the national government and many regions), is now one of the most antisemitic countries in the world. The same is true for the United Kingdom. We learned our liberties from the UK, but it, too, has become one of the world\u2019s most antisemitic\u2014and least free\u2014countries.<\/p>\n

Today, you can skip your way across the map and find this pattern endlessly repeated: When individual liberty vanishes, antisemitism rises.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why Andrew Klavan so memorably called antisemitism \u201cthe Devil\u2019s flagpole.\u201d As he argued in his 2024 essay on the subject, antisemitism, both historically and in modern times, never arises in a vacuum. When you see it, it is a warning that bad things are happening:<\/p>

\n

Antisemitism is the Devil\u2019s Flagpole. It always marks the place where evil dwells. It adheres to no one political party, no particular race or nation. But wherever and whenever it appears, it is a signal that something is going very badly wrong in that place and time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For Klavan, antisemitism is hatred of God, who stands for everything tyrannies hate\u2014individual worth, a power greater than the state, and objective moral values. Klavan, a Christian convert, sees this all through the filter of Christianity, but I would expand it to the Biblical God, whether Old or New Testament:<\/p>\n

\n

Because the soul of the West was indelibly shaped by Christianity, the God of the West is the Jewish God, the God of Abraham made incarnate in Jesus Christ. Western ideas about God \u2014 that he made both men and women in his image, that he identifies with the least among us, that his personality is centered on forgiveness and love \u2014 these ideas were all gifts of I AM to his Chosen People. So too were the laws carved on the stones of Sinai and etched over slow centuries into the animate substance of the Jewish heart.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Klavan\u2019s essay is an important one: Antisemitism isn\u2019t hatred of the Jews. It\u2019s hatred of all that is good. And believe me, I\u2019m not saying that all Jews are good or that you should instantly convert to Judaism as the one true faith. That\u2019s a manifestly silly argument.<\/p>\n

What I am saying, though, is that for antisemites, Jews are the people who first brought God to the world. For that reason, their very existence is a stand-in symbolizing God\u2019s goodness, morality, and the value he assigned to each individual life. That\u2019s why, when people and cultures cease to believe in those things, their first line of attack is Jews.<\/p>\n

Importantly\u2014and here\u2019s why all of you should care about rising antisemitism\u2014once those toxic values take hold, the Jews are never their last victims.<\/p>\n

Across time and space, throughout history, where Jew hatred goes\u2014where the Devil\u2019s flag is planted\u2014everyone suffers. Rapacious governments and evil people use antisemitism as the tip of the sword for tyrannies that will, eventually, destroy all within their path.<\/p>\n

Today, those rapacious governments and evil people, while carrying the Devil\u2019s flag, march under two other banners: Islam and leftism.<\/p>\n

The Devil\u2019s flagpole is beginning to fly across America. It\u2019s time we all take a stand, whether we\u2019re Jewish or not, because the evil behind that flagpole will eventually come for everyone.<\/p>
