As the courageous people of Iran take to the streets to protest the brutal regime that has held them hostage for over four decades, interestingly those who were so vocal on our streets, in the media and on the red carpet claiming to be defenders of human rights are silent as the Islamic regime in Iran murders people simply for wanting a better life.

A new year and the same old voices spreading the oldest hatred. Antisemitism has always been the virus that mutates and adapts. In 2026, it has mutated to line the pockets of popular podcast personalities whose mix of half-truths, falsifications, and outright lies is presented as “just asking questions.” The real question is: will you continue listening to their lies?

In the wake of the horrific attack on a Jewish family celebrating Hanukkah in Bondi Beach in Australia, we cannot shy away from the reality that this is result of years of demonization and the normalization of Jew hate across the world. Ad 2025 becomes 2026 we must ask ourselves what is our response to this tidal wave of hate?

Over 250,000 American servicemen died fighting Nazi Germany, yet in 2025, we have seen a surge in praise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis right here in America. There is something deeply troubling that those who claim to care about America are now lionizing those who killed so many American soldiers, simply because they hate Jews.

As we approach Christmas and remember the birth of Jesus, in addition to the Christmas traditions we are so accustomed to, we will see the promotion of an insidious lie used to delegitimize Jewish history and the Bible itself, the lie that Jesus is a Palestinian.

Israel is relentlessly smeared and demonized, while online "activists" virtue signal without lifting a finger beyond hitting send on their phones. Israel has for decades been answering the call when nations are in distress, and that includes being there in America's moments of need.

While antisemitism is not new, it is known as the oldest hatred, yet it is a virus that mutates and finds new victims to infect.

We are seeing a surge in antisemitic conspiracies and Jew hatred masquerading as patriotism. It begs the question, why the Jews? 

Since the October 7th massacre, we’ve increasingly seen the vilification of Israel and the Jewish people on the political fringes, but more and more we are seeing certain media personalities looking to mainstream Jew hatred. Just as vocally as we call it out on the antisemitism widespread now on the political left, we must also call it out on the right.

Jewish communities pause and remember the October 7 Massacre this week. Only two years after this gruesomeattack, many on both the right and the left justify the atrocities committed that day.

As Jew-hatred becomes normalized worldwide, find out what you can do to curb this trend in your circles. Listen now.

The world waits for Hamas to decide whether it will accept President Trump’s proposed peace agreement this week, which could mean an end to the war and the return of all hostages.

Many Arab nations have encouraged Hamas to accept the proposal. So, why are pro-Palestinian activists in the West urging Hamas to reject it? Find out in this week’s episode. Listen now.

As Israelis were busy celebrating Rosh Hashanah this week, several nations took the opportunity to formalize their recognition of a Palestinian state.

What does this move accomplish other than rewarding Hamas for the carnage it inflicted on 10/7 and ignoring Israeli hostages? Find out in this episode of the CUFI Weekly. Listen here.
