Horsehoes and Antisemites
There's an old saying: "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." Well, conspiratorial antisemitism is more destructive than hand grenafes--and it's getting awfully close.
Last week, I ran a piece in RealClearReligion about the conspiratorial antisemitism surging forward on both left and right.
The left has a long head start, so things are definitely far worse there. Conspiratorial antisemitism has reared its ugly head among a sizable swathe of those considered left of center. It’s hardly just the fringe.
Folks on the right appear to have been jealous. “We can be every bit as conspiratorial and just as antisemitic as any leftist!” they’ve screamed. Candace Owens charged into seriously deranged territory. Tucker Carlson has taken a far more measured approach. He presents his affinity for the Islamists of Qatar and Iran as providing an uncritical airing to alternative perspectives. The Holocaust deniers he platforms aren’t just antisemites—they deny the entire validity of the Allied effort. Or maybe they don’! Maybe they’re just asking questions!
Check out what I had to say on the topic at RealClearReligion!
And if you’re a NYC voter, yes, Mamdani is likely to win. That’s what I predicted months before the primary, it’s what I’m predicting before the general.
Why? Because he’s a conspiratorial antisemite in a leftist city. Unless someone can corral the rational New Yorkers into action—and frighten the leftists Jews into self-preservation—that should be more than enough.

“Bruce, your horseshoe insight (July 8, 2025) nails the antisemitism surge—left and right feeding Mamdani’s NYC rise. But the real battle’s for souls, not politics. The Trespassers’ monolith lie (Genesis 16:12) distracts us—let’s unite against that, not just partisan traps.
