Will the failure of leading conservatives to disassociate themselves from the increasingly antisemitic former\u00a0Fox News<\/em>\u00a0host Tucker Carlson and even more extreme figures like Candace Owens lead to the movement being hijacked by hate-mongers? That\u2019s the question posed by JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin in the wake of the shocking defense of Carlson by Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts in November.<\/span><\/p>\n Roberts walked back his denunciation of those who criticized Carlson\u2019s platforming of Holocaust denial as well as neo-Nazi groyper leader Nick Fuentes as being part of a \u201cvenomous coalition.\u201d But questions remain about Heritage\u2019s future with many of those involved with the institution leaving as a result of the controversy. But according to Heritage Vice President Victoria Coates, the think tank remains committed to the fight against Jew-hatred and support for Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n Coates, who joins Tobin in this week\u2019s episode of \u201cThink Twice,\u201d credits Roberts for the fact that Heritage has played a leading role on the issue. Its Project Esther helped inspire U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s efforts to hold colleges and universities accountable for their toleration and encouragement of Jew-hatred on their campuses. But she acknowledges that Roberts\u2019s initial video expressing solidarity with Carlson was a mistake and that the think tank head understands that, too, and that he is determined for Heritage to continue to work against the spread of Jew-hatred.<\/span><\/p>\n As troubling as the growth of hate on the right may be, she says the mass shooting on Dec. 13 of 15 people (another fatality was confirmed on Wednesday, making the total 16) at a Chanukah event on Australia\u2019s Bondi Beach is a reminder that the most potent threat to Jews and the West remains Islamist and leftist terror.<\/span><\/p>\n Coates, who, like Roberts, knows Carlson well, says she can\u2019t explain his turn toward antisemitism as well as his bizarre willingness to deny that Islamists are persecuting and murdering Christians in Africa. But she says there\u2019s no denying the growth of antisemitic attitudes among younger conservatives, which she fears has become widespread.<\/span><\/p>\n She also says that\u2019s a product of the crisis induced by leftist indoctrination in the schools, in addition to the COVID pandemic, not to mention the misinformation about Israel and the Middle East that is ubiquitous on social media. Coates believes that what happened at Heritage will help to focus minds on the right on the threat from antisemitic extremism.<\/span><\/p>\n Listen\/Subscribe to weekly episodes on\u00a0Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>,\u00a0YouTube Music<\/a>,\u00a0iHeart Radio<\/a>\u00a0or wherever you listen to your podcasts.<\/span><\/p>\n Watch new episodes every week by subscribing to the\u00a0JNS YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
