After Charlie Kirk’s murder: The rise of antisemitic conspiracies

WATCH: “The Quad” with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum

Watch this urgent conversation on the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and the unthinkable wave of antisemitic conspiracy theories and morbid celebration that has followed.

Hosted by Israel innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and featuring co-host Shoshana Keats-Jaskel, founder of Chochmat Nashim; Sandra Hagee Parker, head of the CUFI Action Center; and Iranian human rights activist Lili Mu, this episode confronts the dark realities of modern-day political hatred and media distortion.

What does it say about the West when so many react to a political murder by blaming the Mossad and cheering the death of a Christian Zionist? Why are pro-Hamas mobs the loudest voices on campus and in the streets? And is Britain, of all places, finally waking up?

With raw firsthand accounts from London, Jerusalem and the United States, the hosts dissect the disturbing reaction to Kirk’s death; expose the hypocrisy of progressive “as-a-Jews"; and connect the dots between Islamist ideology, radical left indoctrination and Western self-loathing.

Lili Moo also offers chilling insight from the frontlines of Iranian resistance, explaining how the West is being ideologically colonized while women like Mahsa Amini have been martyred for basic freedoms. Sandra Hagee Parker shares how the Christian pro-Israel movement is being galvanized, not defeated. And Shoshana Keats-Jaskoll reflects on resilience, parenting in an age of radicalization and the moral imperative to know what you are defending before it’s gone.

Fleur Hassan-Nahoum is a dynamic leader with a diverse career spanning law, diplomacy, nonprofit management, and innovation. Raised in Gibraltar and educated at Kings College, London, Fleur qualified as a barrister before pivoting to international development and advocacy. Her career highlights include serving as Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, co-founding the UAE-Israel Business Council, and being appointed Israel’s Special Envoy for Innovation.
“The level of artistry is very high among Israelis. It’s almost therapeutic,” Anis Modi, vice president of development at ChaiFlicks/Menemsha Films, tells JNS.
Gideon Sa’ar urged unity, and warned that violence in Judea and Samaria is damaging ties with Israel’s closest friends.
“Mamdani could not even give us one day to mourn without defaming the Jewish people and giving cover to our enemies,” Inna Vernikov, a Jewish member of the New York City Council, told JNS. “We will not let Mamdani and his radical pals rewrite Oct. 7.”
“The charging by the FBI of Haverford College associate professor Guangtian Ha for harassment and intimidation of a Jewish Israeli professor closes the dotted line between verbal acts of harassment and actionable violence which, when Jews are the recipients, is far too often ignored,” Lori Lowenthal Marcus of the Deborah Project told JNS.
