They're Trying To Eradicate the Jews | Ep. 63

With regard to Judeo-Christian, the Ten Commandments are Jewish. The great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish, and remember you proud Christians objecting in all your purity to the term, Christ himself was a Jew. That was Jordan Peterson reemerging into public life earlier this summer after a year in which his voice was sorely missed, stepping directly into one of the most fraught conversations of our time. Dale Partridge, the internet provocateur and activist, responded to Jordan's post, saying, quote, "The Ten Commandments are not Jewish. The Old Testament is not Jewish. The entire Bible is Christian." Jack Basobic agreed, saying of Jordan's post, quote, "This is not what Christians believe," and continuing, quote, "Adam and Noah were Christian." When Dinesh D'Souza weighed in on the controversy, by pointing out that the heretic Marcian was excommunicated in the second century for trying to write the Jews out of the Bible, Joel Webbon declared, quote, "I would never write the Jews out of the Scriptures. They play a vital role, the bad guys." On its face, this may seem like a debate about theological vocabulary, whether Christians should describe their inheritance as Judeo-Christian, but beneath it lies an older and darker question. What place, if any, did the Jews occupy in the Christian story and in the civilization that that story produced? The Jews are no strangers to being cast out from their own Scriptures. Marcian the heretic tried it, and so did the Gnostic texts of the second and third centuries. So, too, the dualist heretics of the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, German heretics called for a new national religion cleansed of all Jewish elements, then came the Nazis of the 20th century. Once the Jews are closed off from Scripture, they're closed off from Christ the Messiah, then they're closed off from their homes, and then from Israel itself. Door after door, it slammed in the faces of the Jewish people until there's nowhere left for them to belong. That's when people begin to ask the Jewish question, the JQ. There's perhaps no issue more discussed in online political media today than the so-called JQ. The modern Jewish question grew out of European debates over whether and how Jews could be admitted into Christian civil society. Britain confronted an early version of it during the bitter controversy over the Jewish Naturalization Act of 1753. The question before Britain at the time was whether Jews could become full subjects of a Christian nation without first becoming Christians. Revolutionary France confronted the question in the 1790s. The German states wrestled with it throughout the 19th century. The question took on a more racial than religious tenor as Darwinism began to emerge. Instead of asking what's the right relationship between Christian societies and those residents who practice Judaism, the question became how do we solve the problem of the presence of the Jewish race? The answer to the first was at least theoretically solvable through conversion, but one can't convert their way out of biology. By the 1930s Hitler had supplied his answer, the final solution to the Jewish question, the extermination of European Jewry. After the Allies victory in the Second World War, the JQ largely stopped being asked in polite society. Hitler murdered two-thirds of Europe's Jews. Many of those who survived emerged from the war displaced and dispossessed and understandably unwilling or unable to rebuild their lives among the societies that had persecuted or abandoned them. The state of Israel was formed in 1948, giving Jews at last a home in the land given by God to their forebears in the time of the Bible. And despite very real remnants of anti-Semitism, America fostered a degree of Christian Jewish coexistence in the second half of the 20th century, cooperation and mutual influence that had rarely been achieved anywhere in the long history of the diaspora. In 1965, the Catholic Church formally rejected the idea of collective Jewish guilt for the death of Christ and condemned anti-Semitism in Nostra Ate. Two decades later, John Paul II entered the great synagogue of Rome and said of the Jews, quote, "The Jewish religion is not extrinsic to us, but in a certain way is intrinsic to our own religion. You are our dearly beloved brothers. In a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder brothers." After centuries of persecution and genocide, the West seemed to have finally let go of the JQ. But the JQ never fully went away because no evil idea ever fully goes away. And some version of the Jewish question has been with us for as long as there have been Jews. After Hitler, it lingered, mostly in fringe religious and political circles for decades, waiting for its moment to poison the hearts of men once again. That moment arrived like so many do, very slowly, and then all at once. Among evangelicals under 30, support for Israel fell from nearly 69% in 2018 to about 33% in 2021. That cataclysmic collapse of support for the Jewish state from an overwhelming majority supporting to barely one-third wasn't triggered by the war in Iran or by Israel's war in Gaza. Note, it came earlier, and it tracks almost exactly with the year that our federal government in its hubris decided to shut down the world and allow an entire generation to be locked in their houses and driven onto the internet as their only source of information and community. The so-called "griper war" of 2019 was already raging by the time the world shut down. Followers of Nick Fuentes had spent months attending live events, mostly TPUSA events, to troll conservative speakers like Charlie Kirk, with accusations as questions many about US's real relations, about the USS Liberty incident, and about APAC. Fuentes and Fuentes adjacent voices at the time, winked at or, in many cases, outright advanced anti-Jewish ideas, Holocaust revisionism and denial, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and segregationist policies. And then, at precisely the moment these dissident networks were forming nearly every institution in American life joined in one of the most sweeping campaigns of coercion and deception in our national history. They shut down the world and the name of fighting the novel coronavirus. The people were lied to, and the people knew they were being lied to, and the young were thrust into a perpetual online information ecosystem in which some of the only early voices telling them the truth about what was being done to them were also telling them lies about their national and religious history. The most subversive voices in the culture suddenly became some of the most trusted. Now, for older Americans, COVID was a fleeting moment in a long life, but for the young, for the young, it swallowed their most formative years, spent in social media prison with actual demons. It's easy to blame the left and its deceptive narratives, but the truth is far more damning. The left didn't poison our children against our values. We fed them to the lions ourselves. We stood by while our pastors closed our churches while our principals closed our schools and while our politicians closed our cities. We allowed a generation of young people to be shut in and shut out. Not all of us, of course, but enough of us. By the time Hamas breached the wall separating the Gaza Strip from southern Israel, where they murdered and raped and kidnapped women and children and started our current geopolitical firestorm, our kids already rejected support for the state of Israel, and in many cases, we're openly asking the JQ that you forgot even existed in the first place. The reaction of the online right to the warring Gaza may not have been written in the stars, but it was just a sure thing, having been written in the algorithm three years earlier. You could see it if you knew where to look, and the very people who'd go on to make careers out of peddling it. Long before Candace Owens became what she is today, long before the daily wire had any cause to part ways with her, she was already saying in private conversations that she couldn't afford to upset the YouTube boys, her word for the online audience that would turn on or the moment she crossed them on Israel. That wasn't a confession of conviction, it was a reading of the room, a reading of the market, and the market had already moved. Today, in so many ways, we're all Charlie Kirk. We're all in the Groyper War, an ancient evil is presenting itself anew, and if we're not prepared to answer it, we risk losing not only our inheritance as a free and virtuous people, or at least aspirationally, a free and virtuous people. We risk losing our souls. So let's answer this moment better than we answered the last one, starting with understanding what's actually happening, and what's actually happening is this. They're trying to eradicate the Jews, not just from history, not just from American civic life, but from everywhere that the Jews are or have ever been. That may not be the conscious goal of every person engaged in an act of anti-Semitism, but it is the ultimate goal of the anti-Semitic project itself. One need only ask a simple question to prove it. Where did Jews belong? The erasure of the Jews starts with what we're seeing in many so-called Christian spaces online today. Jews being written out of the Old Testament and recast as the villains of the Bible. The glory of God's truth, the door to divine revelation, the Old Testament laws and prophets shut in the faces of the very people whom God used to write them. It's the first door being shut, but it's far from the last. Claims like the Old Testament isn't Jewish, or the entire Bible is Christian, have an insidious power because from a certain point of view, they're at least half true. According to Christianity, after the resurrection, Jesus spent 40 days appearing to his disciples, and he taught them, says Luke in his gospel, "Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures," and, quote, "beginning with Moses and all the prophets he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Those scriptures are what Christians call the Old Testament, or what the Jews call the Tanakh. This is where Pesobic likely draws his framing, because Jesus does show them that the Jewish Bible, for lack of a better term, is in fact a Christian Bible, that the Jewish scriptures were, and always had been, about Christ. He was with God in the beginning, and all things were made through him. He was the rock Moses struck in the desert that gave living water to the Israelites. He was the true Joshua. He was the true ark of the new covenant, which, like the first ark, parted the river of judgment, separating the people from the true promised land of God. He was the true mercy seat. He was the true lamb of the Passover, the true David, and in him was the true Sabbath rest. And yet, the men who wrote those words, the men who lived that history, Abraham and Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, Moses and Joshua, Saul and David and Solomon and Daniel, Ezekiel and Isaiah, and all the rest. They weren't Christians, at least not in their time. They didn't know Christ, at least not in their time. Hebrews tells us that the heroes of the faith had righteousness credited to them, but that faith wasn't based on knowledge. To say that those men were Christian in a theological sense is a legitimate Christian perspective, but that theological perspective doesn't obviate the historic reality of their Jewishness. The Old Testament is historically Jewish as a matter of fact. The New Testament is, too, really. At the entirety of the Christian Bible, only one author, Luke, may, may have been non-Jewish, and even that we aren't sure of. And that the Old Testament is still historically Jewish is a great gift to Christians. St. Augustine says in city of God, quote, "The Jews do not believe our scriptures, their own, are fulfilled in them, less perchance, and anyone should say that the Christians have forged these prophecies about Christ." In other words, God still uses the Jews and the Jewishness of Scripture, even today, as evidence of the truth of the gospel.

Dale Partridge says that the Bible isn't Jewish, St. Augustine disagrees. It's ironic that the British questioned whether a Jew must become a Christian before they can call themselves a Britain, because the entire question of the Book of Acts, and in many ways the entire New Testament after the resurrection, is due Gentiles have to become Jewish before they can call themselves Christian. The Apostles themselves argued over that question, and even after deciding the matter at the Great Council of Jerusalem as recorded in Acts 15, they continued to bicker about the particulars for the rest of their lives. So while the Jew haters attacking Jordan Peterson are right that the entire Bible is Christian in an important sense, they intentionally miss another truth. The entire Bible is also Jewish, and some parts of the story are decidedly so. Anti-Simites say, for example, that the Ten Commandments are Christian, but the Apostles themselves determine not to saddle the Gentile Christians with the Law of Moses at that same Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15. Quote, now therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus just as they will. So the full review of what Christians believe exists in two parts. Historically, the Bible contains the scriptures of Israel, the books written by Jewish authors about the Jewish people preserved by the Jewish community. Theologically, the Christian church is the heir of those scriptures because they testify to Christ. That's the first door they try to close to take the book away from the people who wrote it. The second door is the New Testament. This April, Tucker Carlson show took aim at International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism, which lists the suggestion that Jews killed Jesus as a classic example. Quote, so there goes the New Testament, Tucker said, the whole New Testament is anti-Semitic too. In June, Tucker hosted JD Hall who told his audience that the answer to who killed Jesus is obvious. Quote, the Jews killed Jesus. And here's the thing, it is an overreach to say that one of the central claims of the Christian New Testament is anti-Semitic per se. It was the Jewish leaders who arrested Jesus and turned him over to the Roman governor. It was the Jewish crowd who, when given the chance to free Jesus, chose instead to pardon a guilty man and shouted of Christ, crucify him, crucify him. Peter, on the day of Pentecost, tells a Jewish crowd, quote, this Jesus whom you have crucified, God has raised up. And Paul writes to the Thessalonians of, quote, the Jews who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets. But while it's entirely biblical to say that the Jews killed Christ, it isn't the entirety of what the Bible has to say on the subject. At the simple matter of fact, the Romans killed Christ. Christ was crucified on the authority of the Roman governor. The nails were driven through his hands by Roman soldiers who also beat him very nearly to death beforehand. It was the Romans who twisted upon his head a crown of thorns and it was the Romans who pierced his side with a spear to kill him, only to find he was dead already. So while it's entirely biblical to say that the Jews killed Jesus, it's also entirely biblical to say that the Romans killed Jesus. And since the Bible really only breaks people into two major categories, Jew and Gentile, it's also entirely biblical to say that the Gentiles killed Jesus. And that's still not the entirety of what the Bible has to say on the subject, especially when you consider Christian doctrine. Christians believe that God the Father killed Christ and he did it on behalf of everyone. The prophet Isaiah tells us in the Old Testament, quote, but he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was on him and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray. Each of us has turned to our own way and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. The prophet also says, quote, the Lord was pleased to crush him. Paul tells the church of both Jews and Gentiles and Corinth Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and later tells them God was in Christ reconciling the whole world unto himself, not counting their sins against them. So it's entirely biblical to say that the Jews killed Jesus, that the Romans killed Jesus and that God killed Jesus and it's entirely possible to say that you killed Jesus, you and me and everyone else. And that's still not the entirety of what the Bible has to say on the subject. Because Jesus himself had a perspective and on whom did Jesus himself place the responsibility? On himself, Jesus declares in the gospel of John, quote, "No one takes my life from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have the authority to lay it down and I have the authority to take it up again." Jesus cannot just be killed. He's the very definition of life. His death was his to give, not hours to take, not mine, not yours, not the Romans or the Jews. St. Augustine of Hippo said this, quote, "He took upon him for our sake what was not his due that he might deliver us from what was due to us. Death was not due to him nor life to us." So no, it's not intrinsically anti-Semitic to point out that the Jews killed Christ, but it's anti-Semitic to stop there. It's anti-Semitic and it's anti-Christian too. But the J.Q. crowd will protest. The Jews themselves said, quote, "His blood be upon us and our children while Pilate washed his hands and said, quote, I am innocent of this man's blood." And again, those quotes are of course entirely biblical, but what do they mean? Is it true that Pilate is innocent of Jesus' blood just because he said so and said so, by the way, right before turning Jesus over to his own soldiers to be knelt to a cross until death? Of course not. But there is an important lesson for the Jews killed Christ crowd. You see, you're not the first people to be guilty of the blood of Jesus who tried to push that guilt off onto someone else, the same someone else that Pilate himself tried to push it off onto. The guilt of the Jews does not make you innocent and it perhaps the greatest irony in all of human history saying you're innocent of the blood of Christ only leaves you in your guilt since his blood is the only thing that washes guilt away. Hebrews tells us, quote, without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. John says, quote, the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin and Paul says, quote, in him we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of our sins. Blaming someone else for the blood of Christ might bring you a feeling of tribal superiority but it doesn't, according to Christian theology, bring you innocence, redemption, or salvation. Conversely, while the Jews knew not what they were doing, they unwittingly called salvation down on themselves that day. His blood be upon us and our children is ironically a call for salvation of the Jewish people. Like the Jewish high priest Caiaphas declaring of Jesus that it's better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish, the Jews perhaps didn't say this of their own accord, but that's a great prophecy. of a future salvation in the same blood that saves all who call upon the name of the Lord. I certainly pray that his blood is upon me and my children, and I pity those who wash their hands with water that cannot take away their guilt. That's the second door that the anti-Semite tries to close, to make the Jews the villain of a story whose hero is a Jew. And it matters more than it seems, a people who can be blamed for the death of God can be blamed for anything. Once that door is shut, the rest come easy. The third door sees American Jews being told they don't belong in our country. In December of 2023, Tucker Carlson sat down with Segar Injetti of breaking points to explain why he'd grown so hostile toward people on the right, who'd spent the weeks after October 7th talking about Israel. "I have no choice," Tucker said. "I'm from here. My family's been here hundreds of years. I plan to stay here. I'm shocked by how little they care about the country, including the person you mentioned." The person Injetti had mentioned was Ben Shapiro. Quote, "I can't imagine how someone like that could get an audience of people who claimed to care about America, because he doesn't, obviously." The order of that rant is telling. Before Tucker says that Ben doesn't care about America, he first establishes his own family's hundreds of years of presence in the country. The implication is obvious. Tucker is saying that he's the real American, Ben's just an interloper. In April of 2025, he continued his attack on Ben. Quote, "I don't have another passport. I have no plans to go anywhere. I live directly across from my parents' grave, and I'm never leaving. So to attack me as a shield for another country, when you yourself are shilling for another country, it's almost too much for my tiny brain to deal with." And then, a week after sitting down with Ambassador Mike Huckabee this winter, Tucker made clear he knows exactly what he's doing. Tucker said this, quote, "Huckabee, thank heaven, is not Jewish." So it's not anti-Semitic to say that. Mike Huckabee's loyalty is to Israel over the United States. Mike Huckabee's not Jewish, so it isn't anti-Semitic to say that his loyalty is to Israel over the United States. That means Tucker understands that telling an American Jew that his loyalty is to Israel over the United States is anti-Semitic. And that's exactly what he's been saying about Ben Shapiro. Last month, Tucker opened a show by explaining that Ben is, quote, "an employee." He's doing what he's told. He represents larger interests, obviously. And who are those larger interests? Says Tucker, quote, "It's literally immoral to oppose Ben Shapiro's employers for in policy. This country was founded to fight worse for Israel." So whatever the Prime Minister of that country wants, we're doing. The intensity of that attack is staggering. It's also one of the most ancient anti-Semitic tropes. The Jew who looks like one of us, speaks like one of us, and is secretly taking his orders from somewhere else. Now, Ben Shapiro was born in America to American parents, and Tucker's telling he's an invader with foreign loyalty, and he doesn't belong here. Now, I can tell you firsthand that Ben Shapiro doesn't have employers. Ben Shapiro founded his own company, along with me as it turns out. And in the 10 years that I led the daily wire, we never took a penny of investment from the Prime Minister of Israel or Israel itself, or from any Jewish person, actually, and the only Jewish owner of any piece of the daily wire was Ben Shapiro himself. The majority of the company was owned by Christians. The charge that a Jew's opinions must really belong to someone else is the oldest form of dual loyalty slander that there is. The Pharaoh of the Exodus worried that the Jews would join his enemies in a time of war. The Middle Ages saw Jews persecuted on suspicion that they were collaborating with Muslim invaders or Mongol hordes. The Spanish Inquisition tortured even Jewish Christians on suspicion that they weren't really Christians. Alfred Drifus was a French Jewish army officer who was wrongly convicted of treason by an anti-Semitic mob. That terrible injustice was one of the things that fed the Zionist movement with Jews beginning to look for a homeland of their own. The dual loyalty charge is as ugly as it is ancient, and the idea that your parents have to have been in the country for centuries in order for you to be an actual American is simply put, anti-American. You may dislike America's immigration policies. I quite dislike the status quo and have long called for its reform, but America has as a matter of law and as a matter of fact granted citizenship through a process of naturalization and, by birth, for as long as even Tucker Carlson's family has been American. Jews have been here since 1654, when 23 refugees from Brazil landed in New Amsterdam, which is New York, before it was called New York. And in 1790, our first president, George Washington, wrote to the Hebrew congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, that, quote, "Happily, the government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution, no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens." Only, not ancestry, not tenure, the so-called heritage right isn't defending the American founding, it's revising it. Joe Weben says the quiet part out loud. In March of 2025, he said, quote, "It's okay to say no, this country, this nation is for us and our posterity. It's not for Hindus, it's not for Muslims, and it's not for Jews. It belongs to Christians." He also said, quote, "Jews cannot hold public office." Never mind the fact that if you're going to start getting rid of everyone who is in a Christian, you're going to have to get rid of a lot of heritage Americans too. The founders already answered this argument. Our constitution says in Article 6 that, quote, "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." History teaches us that even Jews who convert to Christianity are often not safe from these sorts of bigotries. After massacres in Spain in 1391 drove tens of thousands of Spanish Jews into forced conversion, the city of Toledo in 1449 still barred converseos baptized Christians of Jewish descent from holding public office. In other words, what starts out as criticism of Judaism is often revealed to be hatred of Jews per se. Nick Fuentes sums the whole thing up. Sitting with Tucker in October of 2025, he said the Jews are, quote, "a stateless people. They're unassimmelable. They resist assimilation for thousands of years." He called the big challenge to unifying America, quote, "organized jury," quote, "I see Jewishness as the common denominator," he said, and quote, "I just feel like it needs to be called out explicitly." Unassimmelable is an ancient slander of the Jews. It suggests that Jews are unwilling to embrace the culture in which they live. Of course, it's true that Jews preserve elements of their own culture, but that doesn't make them unique. All immigrant communities preserve something of their own cultures, but unassimmelable. The Jews in this country gave us most of our movies. They gave us much of our music. They gave us almost all of our best Christmas songs, a holiday they don't even celebrate. They've contributed greatly to our culture. How is that not assimilation? Stalin used similar arguments when he persecuted the Jews of the Soviet Union. On January 28th of 1949, Prop. opened a campaign against what it called, quote, "routeless cosmopolitan," a phrase that every Soviet citizen understood to mean the Jews, and which ultimately led to the purge of Jewish writers and intellectuals. Now, consider for a moment that the regime that coined that phrase had abolished God, had had abolished private property, had it declared that the nation itself was only a bourgeois fiction, and yet even there. In the one state on Earth that officially disbelieved in blood and soil nationalism, the Jew turned out to be insufficiently native. When the eighth year slipped of 1949 and the heritage right of 2026 reached for the exact same arguments, it's fair to ask why. Hank joined BJ's wholesale club the day he became a father of 30.

Which brings us to where the Shapiro's came from before the US, and the fourth door that's being closed on the Jews. Ben has answered that question himself. Quote, "My ancestors were in Russia in Lithuania. In other words, Europe." This Tucker Carlson believed the Jews should go to orthodox Christian in Russia? Does Jack Pasobot believe that they should return to Catholic Poland? That seems unlikely. The heritage right would almost certainly say that the Jews have no real ties to those ostensibly Christian lands. Poland belongs to the Poles. Besides, Europe has already given its answer, and more than once, England expelled its Jews all the way back in 1290. Spain did it in 1492. In July of 1938, delegates from 32 countries gathered at Evian on Lake Geneva to decide what to do with the Jews who were fleeing Hitler. Delegate after delegate expressed deep sympathy. But then they offered nothing but excuses. Only the Dominican Republic agreed to take in more Jews. The following may, the Lineart St. Louis left Hamburg bound for Havana with 937 passengers, nearly all of them Jewish refugees. Cuba let 28 of them off the ship. The United States and Canada refused the rest, too. The ship returned back to Europe, and 254 of its passengers were murdered in the Holocaust. One week before the St. Louis sailed on May 6, 1939, 11 German churches founded in Eisenach, the Institute for the Study and a Radication of Jewish Influence on German Church Life. The Institute's mission was, quote, "to obliterate the Jewish roots of Christianity, to delete every positive reference to the people of Israel and Judaism from the Holy Scripture." The Institute produced a de-judi-ized New Testament and hymnal, and it taught that Jesus was a Gentile. So in a single week in May of 1939, German churchmen formally took the Jews out of the Bible, and a ship full of Jews discovered that every harbor in the Americas was already shut to them. The doors didn't close one at a time, they closed all together. So where were the Jews before Europe? Well, follow the chain back through the diaspora through the provinces of Rome and it ends in Judea, the land that gave the Jews their name, and that brings us to the last door. In February, Tucker flew to Israel and sat down at the airport with Ambassador Mike Huckabee. On Tucker's mind was a question of Jewish belonging in the state of Israel itself, specifically. If the land was promised to the descendants of Abraham, how could we know who those descendants really are? Then Tucker made a proposal, quote, "Why don't we do genetic testing on everybody in the land and find out who Abram's descendants are? It's really simple, we've cracked the human genome, we can do that." Bebe's family, Tucker, went on, we know they lived in Eastern Europe. There's no evidence they ever lived here. Theologically, the question makes no sense. The land wasn't given to all of the descendants of Abraham. Abraham had two sons, and Genesis is explicit which one got the promise. Through Isaac, shall your offspring be named. Meaning that even if you could identify the, quote, "Sons of Abram," that still wouldn't be sufficient to answer the biblical question. And besides, Jewish descendants never been a blood test anyway. The Jews of the Exodus were a mixed multitude of Abraham's descendants through Isaac and Jacob as well as Egyptians who had joined themselves to the Lord. Rahab, the Canaanite prostitute, became a Jew by faith when she believed in the power of God and hid the spies at Jericho. Ruth was a Moabite who said to Naomi, quote, "Your people shall be my people and your God, my God." She became the great grandmother of King David. Run Tucker's swab check on her and an ancestor of the Messiah himself is ruled out of the land, and so is every Jew by choice for 3,000 years. Put all of it together, and you get something like a nowhere doctrine. It never has to be stated out, right? Because it's built out of premises that each sound slightly less deranged when stated on their own. The heritage premise sounds like patriotism. The unassumable premise sounds like sociology. The genetic premise sounds like science or even theology, but when you stack them all on top of one another, there's nothing left. Not America, because the Jews came here too late and probably have dual loyalty. Not Europe, because they were always foreigners there and didn't assimilate. Not the land of Israel, because they were never really the sons of those fathers in the first place. Every door has its own gatekeeper, and every gatekeeper has slammed the gate shut. Candace Owens supplies the last premise. On her February 2nd podcast this year, she said, quote, "The people that were fighting are effectively pagan gypsies who've been wearing the cloak of Judaism." I would say since the fall of the missing Kazarian empire. And on X, she added, quote, "The people currently occupying Israel are Kazarian Turks." This single, diabolical claim doesn't just close the door to the Holy Land. It closes the door to the Bible itself. If today's Jews aren't real Jews, then there are no real Jews. If today's Jews aren't sons of Abraham, then the Jews of Scripture have no living descendants, and the living Jew is just an imposter wearing a dead man's clothes. Now, weirdly, Candace still manages to smear these not real Jews as being Christ killers. No one ever said that anti-Semitism demands consistency. As a simple matter of fact, though, it's all just false. A 2013 genome-wide study published in human biology was titled plainly. No evidence from genome-wide data of a K-ZAR origin for the Ashkenazi Jews. It found that Ashkenazi Jews, quote, "share the greatest genetic ancestry with other Jewish populations, and among non-Jewish populations, with groups from Europe and the Middle East." It went on to say, quote, "no particular similarity of Ashkenazi Jews with populations from the Caucasus is evident." But then the nowhere doctrine doesn't actually rest on evidence. It rests on a feeling. The feeling that these people can't possibly belong where they are. That feeling has been searching for a respectable argument since long before we knew about the human genome. The modern case for a Jewish state was written at Evion, and it was written on the deck of the St. Louis, and it was written at Berkenau, and it was written at Treblinka. Remove that history, and Israel becomes just another colonial project, which is the entire premise of left-wing anti-Semitism, the groundwork for which was laid by Stalin's secret police at the Lubyanka in 1952, built out by the KGB after 1967, and has been peddled through the U.S. university system ever since. That left-wing anti-Semitism and right-wing anti-Semitism seem to be meeting up in the person of Tucker Carlson should come as no surprise, Tucker's entire political project is premised on a fusion of bad ideas from the left and the right. In September of 2024, Tucker introduced Darryl Cooper as, quote, "the best most honest popular historian in the United States." Cooper told him that when the Germans went east, they, quote, "went in with no plan for the millions of prisoners in their custody," and quote, "they just threw these people into camps and millions of people ended up dead there." Historical revisionism isn't some hobby running alongside the argument about Israel. It's a load-bearing wall. If the camps were a logistics failure and not a targeted extermination, then the case for a Jewish state in Israel we can significantly. That's the design. But it was a targeted extermination. The killing squads followed the army across the border. At Badiar outside of Kiev, they shot 33,771 Jews in two days in September of 1941, 33,000. In January of 1942, in Avila, at Van Zay, senior Nazi officials met for 90 minutes to coordinate the final solution across Europe, and the targeted extermination began in earnest. Today, there's another group with plans for total extermination of the Jews. The covenant of the Islamic Resistance movement, the Hamas Charter, issued on August 18th of 1988, doesn't talk about borders or settlements. Article 7 quotes a Hadith, quote, "The date of judgment will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, killing the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, 'Oh, Muslim, oh Abdelah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'" Not in Israeli, not as Zionist, a Jew, behind the stone wherever the stone happens to be. A Hamas policy document adopted by Hamas in 2017 says, quote, "Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea." In Tehran on Cud's Day in 2020, the Ayatollah Ali Khameini said, "Israel is a deadly cancerous growth." And he promised, quote, "It will undoubtedly be uprooted and destroyed." Those words don't stay in Gaza and Tehran. On November 3rd, 2023, less than a month after Hamas put its charter into practice in the Kibbatsim of Southern Israel, a sitting member of the United States Congress Rashida Talib posted a video featuring crowds chanting from the river to the sea. She defended the phrase as, quote, "an aspirational call for freedom, human rights and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate." She called it aspirational. The men who wrote the phrase into their founding documents have been perfectly clear about what they aspire to. As a result, we're left with the Jewish people looking at five doors, the Old Testament, the New Testament, America, Europe, and the land of Israel itself, all of which have been slammed shut in their faces. Religious anti-Semites say that the Jew doesn't belong in the Bible. The post-liberal right says Jews aren't really American. The anti-Sianist left says they're colonizers and Hamas, which has no use for arguments about heritage or genomes at all in the first place, simply tells its fighters to find a Jew and kill them. When you put these ideas together, when you look at all five doors, the anti-Semites seeks to close on the Jews, the Old Testament, the New Testament, America, Europe, and Israel, you have your answer to the question, where do Jews belong? The answer is the nowhere doctrine. That is the terrible goal of the anti-Semitic project fully expressed. Anti-Semitism isn't just racism toward Jews. It isn't go back to where you came from, ethno-nationalism. It's you came from nowhere and you belong nowhere. Jews don't belong in this country or that. They don't belong in this history or that. There isn't some other place for them. There's no island in the South Pacific where the anti-Semite would be content to see them relegated. We must recognize the goal of the project for what it is. It's not America first. It's not just noticing or just asking questions. The goal of the anti-Semitic project is to eradicate the Jews. So what do we do? Well, if you find yourself being drawn down the path of Jew hatred, it starts with Jew skepticism and conspiracism, by the way. Ask yourself what the purpose of the premise and the conspiracy really is. Ask yourself where it's carrying you. And if you're a Christian, and particularly a young Christian, who came of age during that season when the most subversive voices became the ones most trafficked online, open your Bible to the letter Paul wrote to the church in Rome. Paul asks the same question that the whole movement is asking today. Has God rejected his people? And Paul answers it by no means. And he tells the Gentile believers in Rome exactly who's been grafted in, quote, "do not be arrogant toward the branches." If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. The root is the God of Israel. And if you're not personally being tempted by that ancient evil, well, speak truth to those who are. A garden full of weeds is the responsibility of the gardener. The heritage crowd borrows Paul's word grafted and turns it around as though they were the native tree and the Jews the wild olive shoot allowed in on sufferance. The Paul says it's the other way around. We are the wild olive shoot. And of the Jews who hadn't yet believed Paul writes, quote, "as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable, irrevocable." And perhaps that's the warning for us. Paul doesn't tell the Gentile church merely to have the correct opinion about the Jews. He tells us not to become arrogant toward them. Because Christianity doesn't just give us a more sophisticated reason to despise our neighbor, it denies us the right to despise our neighbor at all. We didn't plant the tree. We don't sustain the root. We were grafted in by grace by favor that we did not merit. Men who remember that they did not merit the favor God has shown them should be very slow indeed to decide whom God has cast out. To the church at Philadelphia, the risen Christ introduced himself as the one, quote, "who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts, and no one opens." The key of David. When Jordan Peterson wrote, "Christ Himself was a Jew," Jack Pasobeck answered, "This is not what Christians believe, but it is exactly what Christians believe." Paul, grieving for his Jewish kinsmen, lists what belongs to them, quote, "the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises, to them belong the patriarchs and from their race according to the flesh is the Christ." The word became flesh and it was Jewish flesh. He rose in Jewish flesh, and he holds a Jewish king's key in a Jewish hand.
