In this American Thinker article, Allan J. Feifer argues that rising antisemitism after October 7 is not merely about Israel or Jews, but part of a broader ideological assault on Western civilization.
- Feifer contends that global sympathy for Israel after the October 7 attacks quickly gave way to hostility, with antisemitism becoming increasingly visible in Western countries.
- He argues that most Americans are not participating in anti-Israel extremism, but that the loudest agitators receive disproportionate media attention.
- The article connects the current wave of antisemitism to the broader cultural and political upheaval that began during the COVID era.
- Feifer claims COVID-era restrictions and government messaging helped normalize institutional control, censorship, and ideological conformity.
- He frames the Biden presidency as the vehicle through which Obama-era “fundamental transformation” was finally realized.
- The article argues that weakened American leadership under Biden contributed to global instability, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the October 7 massacre.
- Feifer criticizes the Iran nuclear deal, saying its sunset provisions made a nuclear-capable Iran more likely rather than preventing it.
- He portrays anti-Israel activism, Marxist ideology, and radical campus politics as interconnected forces working against individual liberty, merit, accountability, and Western civic order.
- The piece concludes that antisemitism is being used as a destabilizing weapon by the left, warning that if Jews and Israel are successfully targeted, other pillars of Western civilization will follow.
