Islamist Antisemitism

Islamist AntisemitismIn this episode (a part of my college lectures in California), I( explore how contemporary Islamist antisemitism in Europe and the United States functions less as a simple religious prejudice and more as a strategic entry point into a broader jihadist project against liberal‑democratic order. Drawing on the ideological legacy of the Muslim Brotherhood and the post‑1979 doctrine of “exporting the Islamic Revolution” in Iran, the conversation shows how anti‑Jewish and ostensibly “anti‑Zionist” movements have been cultivated as instruments to erode trust in Western institutions, polarize societies, and normalise revolutionary Islamist worldviews. We discuss the rise of Islamist networks, proxy organizations, and propaganda infrastructures since the late 1970s, highlighting the central role of the Iranian regime and its allies (such as Hezbollah) in fusing antisemitic narratives with a systematic assault on secularism, pluralism, and constitutional democracy in the West.keywords#islamistantisemitism; #muslimbrotherhood; #iran1979;#exportofrevolution; #jihadistpropaganda; #westerndemocracy;#liberalorderunderattack; #politicalislam; #hezbollah; #radicalizationineurope;#usandeurope; #antizionism; #redgreenalliance; #ideologicalwarfare;#post1970shistory; #iranianregime; #proxygroups; #criticaltheory;#middleeastpolitics; #geopolitics;
