The Perfect Storm of Jew Hatred on the left & Right: But the Church…

 

"Do not forget that every nation deserves the government that it endures.”  From the first Pamphlet written by the White Rose

 

As I have explored and am writing about antisemitism connected to those who have some connection to Donald Trump, I am watching the rise of Jew hatred on America’s elite campuses,
and I am thinking of a perfect storm.

It seems strange to have written about antisemitism attached to a small circle of organizations and movements and then to see such movements enlarge and begin to make connections to an ex-president running once again for the office. And here I am speaking of mostly far right antisemitism. I am aware of the growing antisemitism movement on the left—I was aware when for many years I wrote about the Presbyterian (USA) denomination. That is no surprise. But watch. they, the far left and the far right, may too soon be holding hands.

I have been following the Reawaken America Tour for several years now. Its leaders are Clay Clark, Michael Flynn, and Eric Trump, the son of Donald Trump. The tour will supposedly have its last event in June of this year. But there is a hint it will go on longer. The tour has offered various speakers, pastors, supposed prophets and political leaders. The main message, alongside other conspiracies. is Trump’s position as president was stolen and he must win the 2024 election.

In earlier postings I have noted that several speakers at the tour are antisemitic, mainly  Scott McKay. In another posting, The Second Coming of Fascism to the United States, I noted that columnist Jake Tapper had actually contacted Eric Trump and Clay Clark and questioned them about allowing antisemites to speak at their meetings. These men have evidently not been allowed to speak since, although a friend of McKay who is also an antisemite did speak.

Still, when one constantly follows and holds to conspiracy theories it will eventually lead to antisemitism, the historical scapegoating of the Jews. I watched recently as Clark was put in a position of defaming the Jews. He never answered outright but he never defended the Jewish people who were being slandered.

The site Clark was visiting is SGT Report. I have not been able to find the name of the person who owns the site, however there are many different videos with various speakers and a great deal of antisemitism. Here is the words and question to Clark.

“…But I want to ask you about those red heifers[1], this whole thing is being orchestrated and its being made to happen on purpose because these people want a Luciferian sea change on planet earth so they’re trying to usher in demons through CERN, they want to rebuild the temple—the whole red heifer thing is something I wanted to ask you about. These red heifers were found in Texas and shipped to Israel, weren’t they?”

Clark affirms the red heifers came from Texas and the SGT moderator continues:

“It’s all so crazy man! I know this has become a topic now, Candence Owen thing, Ben Shapiro thing, I mean we can talk about Zionism, Ben Shapiro is just a devout Jew and Zionist so all manner of crime in Gaza A-Ok. But I think it really does need to be addressed that there is a sector of the Jewish community, Clay, that in my view is among the most extreme on planet earth, these people are extremist and I’m being polite. (Emphasis mine)

 After the speaker asks Clark his opinion, Clark speaks about his problem with racism as a young person but fails to answer the question about the Jews.

In another video “Red Heifer’s, CERN & The Solar Eclipse with Clay Clark on Fri. Night Livestream” Clark mentions that people ask him about Scott McKay. He excuses McKay’s absence by saying he had to make room for new people. He goes on to say that McKay is “gracious, he’s kind, he’s a nice guy … he really “has a lot of respect for Scott McKay”, … “his passion for saving the country.”

I have in other postings explained that Scott McKay pushes an old antisemitic idea that an ancient people, the Khazars, after converting to Judaism left the Baltic region for Europe and took over the banks and royal families of Europe. McKay refers to them as the Khazarian Mafia.[2]

Considering that these three people, Clark, Eric Trump and Michael Flynn are close to the ex-president this brings the possibility of the darkness of Jew hatred into the Whitehouse if Trump is elected. As I have written above, this country is already being engulfed by radical antisemites on the left via elite colleges and some denominational churches such as the PCUSA. This is the so-called perfect storm—a storm of Jew hatred.

Several commentators have mentioned that assaults on the Jews never ends with only the Jews. The kind of evil that slanders the Jewish people and reaches out to hurt them ends with many ethnic and cultural groups hurt. In Germany it was the disabled, the Roma, the LBGT community, the non-white community and finally the confessing church pastors as well as the young people who belonged to the White Rose. But it is the Jew who suffers the most from such lies and aarrogance.

In a posting I wrote in 2013, “The little ship of Christ’s church is sailing in a storm.” Lessons from the book, Paul Schneider: Witness of Buchenwald, I wrote about Paul Schneider, the first Confessing Church martyr during the Nazi years. I wrote about some of the differences between the German Christians and the Confessing Churches as experienced by Schneider. Christian nationalism that is being birthed in the MAGA movement holds some of the same attitudes and inclinations as the German Christians.  In one of his sermons Schneider stated:

“Of course, they [the German Christians] must underpin the practice with the false teaching that the message of the church is not the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, the Savior of sinners and the Kingdom of God alone, but our national character and traditions plus the gospel. They are in fact breaking with the living God and his Christ by placing blood and race and the history of the nation as sources of revelation alongside God’s Word, alongside God’s will revealed to us in the Word of Scripture alone, alongside Jesus as the only mediator between God and man.” 

May our churches and our hearts be filled only with messages of the redeeming blood of Jesus, the Kingdom of God and the salvation of sinners.
