Antisemitism is back, and this time it's everywhere.
The far-left and the far-right are starting to speak the same language—especially about Jews and Israel.

In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Karys Rhea, an American political commentator and author of an upcoming book about how identity politics on the right is fracturing Trump’s MAGA movement. They unpack the “woke right” (also called the identitarian right), why it converges with the far-left on anti-Jewish narratives, and how a cultural echo chamber is migrating into real political power at breakneck speed.

In this episode, we discuss:
• How the “oppressor vs. oppressed” worldview jumped from the far-left to a new faction on the right
• Why conspiratorial politics inevitably turns Jews into the “master villain”
• What Jewish communities and Christians must do before this virus takes over America

This conversation is about more than internet craziness. When a society loses trust in institutions, conspiracy becomes a substitute for explanation—and antisemitism becomes the fastest, laziest shortcut to a total worldview. If democracies can’t name that pattern clearly, they’ll keep fighting yesterday’s battles while tomorrow’s coalition of extremists grows in plain sight.

🎯 Key moment:
“The arc of Jew hatred bends into a horseshoe.”
