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.

Raised in Gibraltar and educated at Kings College, London, Fleur qualified as a barrister before pivoting to international development and advocacy.
