The digital world is booming. On every continent, opinions expressed on social media by opinion leaders now constitute a method of real-time documentation of antisemitic conspiracy theories that previously only a small number of writers dared to publish. The objective data being collected by Israeli security institutions is a cause for concern for Jewish communities worldwide. PJN interviewed David Garrett on this topic.
How can Jews, 0.1% of the world's population, continue to be universally accused of controlling the world?
The beginning of your question is the answer: 0.1%. With this figure, only God and the innate qualities of this small group could explain their eventual success.
What unites the growing mass of fanatical opinion leaders across all continents who we see shouting against the alleged "world Jewish power"?
There is a latent aversion to Jewish success, which begins with hate against the Jewish state, extends to the most reputable international Jewish organizations, encompasses strong national Jewish communities, and finally involves individual Jewish people who are intellectual, well-informed, successful, and courageous.
Tucker Carlson, Alexander Dugin, and Lu Kewen are influencers who share similar antisemitic views and who greatly influence the American, Russian, and Chinese populations. Do these influencers somehow function as voices – albeit minority voices – of the administrations of those countries?
Dugin, Kewen and Carlson have millions of passionate followers, and their merits cannot be underestimated. However, I do not believe they are spokespeople for their national elites, much less that they can influence them against the Jews. The Xi and Putin administration's perception of Jewish influence is characterized by a blend of long-standing admiration or philosemitism for perceived intellect and success. The Trump administration greatly recognizes Jewish contributions, its high achievement, and the need to support a key geopolitical ally.
What about the Muslim organizations?
The Muslim communities in general should not be confused with the Muslim Brotherhood. Radical Islamism views Jewish power in the world through a deeply conspiratorial and apocalyptic, interpreting Jewish influence as the primary existential threat to Islam and the root cause of the Muslim world's perceived decline. It does not distinguish between Judaism and Zionism, viewing all Jews as part of a collective "eternal enemy" that is malicious, powerful, and hell-bent on corrupting humanity and destroying Islamic civilization. That’s why the Brotherhood devised direct mechanisms to create, maintain, and strengthen all enemies of Israel, and found ingenious ways to sponsor political parties and media particularly in the West. Laws, news, public culture – it all gets tainted.
The European Union has a plan underway to promote Jewish life by 2030. Is it a real project or a cosmetic exercise deliberately destined to fail?
I can answer you with another question. If the EU plan started in 2021 and we are already in 2026, where has Jewish life actually been enhanced in Europe? We probably have to conclude that this development only occurred in Porto, and we know how the system dealt with that. To assume that the system would like an important Jewish project – whether economic or cultural – is an error. “No works completed”, “no living synagogues”, “no relevant critical mass”, “no rich Jews”, “no favorable legislation” – here’s the real feeling of the Brotherhood and its servers.
What about the individual Jew? Is he escaping the Brotherhood's notice?
The Brotherhood doesn't need to worry about anyone or any Jewish particular organization. The sponsored system has the unconscious mission to reject any relevant personality or project related to the Jewish or Israeli world. The “national” persecution of the detested object is determined in a natural way, in political corridors and newspaper offices. The problem arises next.
What is the problem?
The system doesn't know how to deal with someone who escapes the pattern of mediocrity upon which society was built. No matter how much they spit on him, end up paralyzed when they realize they don't know how to deal with him. For the first time in their lives, they understand they are only used to dealing with absolutely banal and limited beings. The general citizens have been educated to be stupid, ill-informed, unarmed, and obedient. The national topics of debate are absurd. IQ reaches zero. Museums and public libraries are empty, and so are religious temples. Now, there is something totally new to confront. Eliminate the target, yes, that's the desire. But how to do it? It's the entire system that can collapse.
How to stop the Brotherhood's seemingly triumphant march?
Time is running out now. The Muslim Brotherhood is now considered a terrorist organization in the US, Israel, Russia, China, and India. I really don't see how it can have a bright future. I can say the same regarding those who benefit from their patronage. The world is always in motion. The only stability for humankind is that of movement and adaptation. Sponsorship will tend to come from Israel and its most trusted partners, and then the social mindset will change.
How does Netanyahu position himself amidst so many power games and the threats directed at Jewish communities in many countries?
I really think Benjamin Netanyahu has enormous advantages over most world leaders. He has been dealing with great empires for thirty years and has a profound knowledge of three millennia of history, learning that began in his youth through his grandfather and father, respectively the Gaon Nathan and the historian and encyclopedist Benzion. Even Yoni – Benjamin’s older brother – was a poet and lost his life in one of the most impressive military operations that history records. Political leaders imbued with so-called progressive philosophies hostile to Judeo-Christian civilization do not know how to deal with the state of Israel, with its millennial philosophy and its history based on sacred symbols that extend from the memory of the Temple of Jerusalem to the lineage of King David. Although there are honorable exceptions, non-Jewish world elites only know how to deal with nation-states that follow axiological standards—which they call "values"—that have nothing to do with the Jewish or even Christian world.
Netanyahu is usually portrayed by propaganda as a man judged for corruption. They claim that this condition shapes Israeli politics.
Don't get me wrong, but this is one of those typical questions that shows the decadence of current civilization. Transcendence, natural law, the refinement of peoples, the world minimum wage, or the most suitable model to support 8 billion people—none of this is debated in the mass media. The topics under debate are the supposed thirty human genders and the so called corruption, that is, whether a low-ranking policeman received a handful of coins to save a driver from a fine, or whether a politician pocketed some cash in some deal. Frankly, the system is a farce, as social priorities are all inverted. The population is aware of the level of interest each issue should receive.
I think poor administration is a relevant topic for the population…
For sure, but they are much more interested if their neighborhood is composed of robbers or rapists from another continent. Popular sentiment is not respected. There is something even worse. At a certain point, the population itself becomes so influenced by the fads created by the mainstream that the topic of enthusiastic debate in squares and cafes is the famous corruption. Believe me, this only contributes to further sinking the intelligence quotient of people in general.
The Prime Minister of Israel is on trial...
Netanyahu is being "judged" for having influential friends in the political press. That says it all. The word corruption is an empty bag that takes the shape of the object that is put inside it. The height of absurdity is that elites in countries that were created and operate by constantly trading favors between politicians and newspapers love to talk about Netanyahu's supposed corruption. It's pathetic.
