Israeli-American investor and philanthropist Adam Milstein, speaking at the Jerusalem Post Second Front Conference, said that the Jewish people need to be aware, awake, stand up and fight back against antisemitism.
He pointed out that he has been writing about the sources of antisemitism since 2016, which he attributes in great part to the far Right, far Left, and radical Muslims.
Milstein told Maayan Hoffman, Deputy CEO – Strategy & Innovation for the Jerusalem Post Group, that unlike classic antisemitism, this new form is being led by the Islamo-leftist alliance between the radical Left and Muslims – secular Muslims that together created an alliance against the West, Judeo-Christian values, and Israel. He added that the ultimate target of this alliance is not the Jews but rather, Western civilization and the United States.
In his interview with Hoffman, Milstein, who regularly shares his views on Israel and antisemitism in the pages of The Jerusalem Post, stated that antisemitism should not be presented as a Jewish problem. It is, in his words, “an American problem. This is not about the Jews. We’re just the canary in the coal mine. This is about America and the West.”
Social media, in his view, is also a major factor in the promotion of antisemitism around the world. “The number of people getting the news from social media is increasing every day,” Milstein said.
"The problem is that the information distributed by social media is not checked or validated. It is misinformation and disinformation. Propaganda is not only allowed on social media, but it’s actually being promoted. The more hate you spew, the more attention the algorithms will give you.”
Milstein cautioned that the massive spike in antisemitism will be followed by even greater acts of violence against America and the West, calling it “a sign for the future.” When any kind of resistance is justified against oppressors and occupiers, America should watch out.
