Tom Basile used his America Right Now platform to sound a clear alarm: the recent surge in antisemitism is not an isolated hatred but a coordinated ideological push that targets Judaism and Israel as means to weaken the Judeo-Christian foundations of our country. Basile argued that certain radical strains of thought seek to delegitimize the covenantal bond between Jews and Christians, and in doing so they aim to erode the moral bedrock that has kept American society stable.
The facts make Basile’s warning impossible to ignore. The Anti-Defamation League and reporting outlets documented record-high antisemitic incidents last year, with a shocking plurality tied directly to hostility toward Israel — a wave of harassment, vandalism, and threats that has found fertile ground on college campuses and in public protests. This is not abstract rhetoric; it is a measurable assault on a religious minority and on the institutions that protect religious freedom.
Conservatives have been right to point out the ideological roots of much of this behavior. Basile and others have connected the rise of anti-Zionist fervor with an ascendant Marxist and secularist strain in the culture that is hostile not just to Israel but to faith in general, and that hostility threatens Christians as surely as it targets Jews. That link matters because once the leftist cultural machine decides religion is a target, churches and believers become collateral damage in a broader campaign to remake society.
We are already seeing the consequences: students afraid to wear religious symbols, synagogues and community centers getting bomb threats, and a political class often too timid to call out antisemitism when it comes wrapped in fashionable causes. Prominent conservative leaders have urged the right to stop pretending this is someone else’s problem; silence is complicity, and the church must wake up and protect its Jewish brothers and sisters.
The remedy is straightforward and unapologetic: defend Israel, defend Jewish Americans, and defend the right of churches to preach without fear of being branded enemies of progress. That means holding universities and social platforms accountable, calling out antisemitic tropes wherever they appear, and ensuring law enforcement treats threats against houses of worship as the grave national security matter they are.
Tom Basile’s message was a rallying cry to conservatives and Christians to reclaim the moral high ground: stand with Israel, stand with the Jewish community, and refuse to let radical ideologies tear apart the covenant that made Western civilization strong. Hardworking Americans who cherish faith and freedom must answer that call — because protecting Judaism in America is the surest way to protect Christianity, our liberties, and the future of a nation built on God-given rights.
