Two op-eds in the December 18, 2025 Washington Times dealt with Jewish issues, one openly, and the other in disguise—with no mention of the word “Jew.” Yet it was obvious to anyone keeping up with the news regarding a growing resurgence of antisemitism emanating from the far-right, that Jews were involved…

Let’s start with a well known American patriot and great author, Cal Thomas.
His moving and timely essay, “Ever Again,” a poignant play on the slogan adopted after the Shoah, “Never Again,” made a point of emphasizing what should have been obvious to those with grey matter intact, but, given the nightmare which has unfolded in the aftermath of the grotesque Arab jihadi bloodlust of Simchat Torah, October 7th, 2023, unfortunately has proven to be anything but.
For too many in the non-Jewish world, October 7th, in which the equivalent of some 40,000 American innocent civilians were wantonly slaughtered and butchered in the most unbelievably gruesome of ways, is simply past news… Ho-hum.
The massacre of over 1,200 Israelis by thousands of invading Hamasniks and other “just ordinary” Gaza Arabs on October 7th is to an 9-15 mile wide Israel, which can fit twice into America’s Lake Michigan, the equivalent multiple times over to America’s September 11, 2001… 9/11.
Let’s be clear about this. There is no moral equivalency between innocents deliberately targeted for mass butchery, and Arab civilians killed because their heroes, whom they freely elected, routinely use them as human shields after committing atrocities against Jews and others in Israel, and then running back to hide behind their women and children.
No army in the world compares to the IDF in trying to limit casualties among its genocidal enemies’s non-combatants. See what one of the world’s leading experts on urban warfare writes about this here…

For too many of those who, having their dormant age old, church and mosque inspired antisemitic genes reawakened after Jewish families were tied together and set afire; females of all ages gang raped and sexually mutilated; infants beheaded (reports also spoke of microwaving them as well); etc. and so forth, instead of empathizing with the victims, they chose instead to blame the “perfidious Jew” (or Kilab Yahud—Jew dog) victims themselves instead for their own victimization.
I mean, after all, how dare Jews—one half of whom fled Arab and other Muslim lands after a minuscule Israel was reborn on just a fraction of the land promised in the original April 25, 1920 Mandate of Palestine (today’s Jordan was gifted with almost 80% of the total area in 1922)—want in one resurrected state what Arabism has gained for itself on almost two dozen so far, via the invasion and jihadi conquests (religious wars) of hundreds of millions of other non-Arab peoples’s ancestral homelands: Kurds, Amazigh/Kabyle/“Berbers,” black Africans, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Judaeans (Jews), Druse, Assyrian, Armenian, and Chaldean Christians, pre-Arab native Egyptian Copts and descendants of Phoenician Semitic, but non-Arab Lebanese, and others as well.
None of the above matters, I guess, for in this overwhelmingly current mindset, only Arabs have any rights in that huge region of MENA (Middle East and North Africa).
If not so, then why is that only the Arab demand for yet another state for themselves in “Palestine”—besides Jordan—is the only cause celebre worthy of support when so many other peoples mentioned above still remain oppressed and stateless, often having their own languages and cultures outlawed in the forced Arabization, Islamization, and/or Turkification process?
Mr. Thomas rightly points out that countless anti-Israel and/or antisemitic demonstrations and acts of violence have been committed against Jews since October 7th.
So, why was Australia, some of whose cities have been literally shut down on weekends due to massive anti-Israel/pro-Hamas (“Palestinian”) demonstrations for the past two years, and in which volumes of hate speech, firebombings of Jewish institutions, and other acts of violence have been directed at the countries 117,000 Jews (out of a population of 28 million) with 1,654 incidents from October 1, 2024 to September, 2025, so pathetically and tragically unprepared for what happened on Bondi Beach during this Chanukah season?
Given this infamous track record (which numerous other nations have as well), Cal then asks the painful question…
Why didn’t the Aussie government take proactive measures so that the recent mass slaughter of Jews, killing 15 and wounding dozens more, most likely could have been avoided?
Is it that, once again, Jew blood is cheap, as when so many people chose to do nothing, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt during WWII, when he sent Jews fleeing Nazi Germany on the SS St. Louis back to the extermination camps, and refused to bomb the railways leading to Auschwitz when Allied bombers were passing practically right over to blast industrial sites?
Or, again, as above, when so many people chose to jump on the Arab taqiyyah-spouting, anti-Israel bandwagon after October 7th. They willingly accepted blatant, unsubstantiated lies coming from Hamas and Hamas-loving Left of Lenin sources, rather than checking other facts supplied by Israel itself or other more credible organizations.
As just a footnote to the above, there are about six different kinds of deliberate lying practiced by too many Arabs and other Muslims to promote their cause—especially to gullible kafir infidels in the Arab oil-addicted West. “Taqiyyah” is just one of them. Kitman and Tarwiya are some others.
How deranged has this world become?
There was a police station just a block away. Some reports say some police were actually present at Sydney’s Bondi Beach but chose to do nothing until a courageous Syrian Muslim Australian civilian, Ahmed al-Ahmed, unarmed, took it upon himself to charge one of the Jihadi Muslim terrorists, most likely a member of an Iranian sleeper cell. Mr. Al-Ahmed was seriously wounded as a result. I hope Israel is planning some exponential payback for this atrocity, especially since the mullahs are now well under way in getting restocked with ballistic missiles and such from their Chinese, North Korean, and Russian buddies.
Mr. Thomas is well aware of what the Jewish People have historically been subjected to for the past two millennia (and even before) in terms of religiously inspired and government supported antisemitic violence…blood libels, crusades, expulsions, autos-da-fe, forced ghettoization and conversions, pogroms, and countless massacres even before the days of Zyklon B gas and the Holocaust (Shoah) was even a thought.
Given this, Mr. Thomas concludes by stating what should not have to be said yet again…
“Antisemitism must be fought with more than statements of horror, flowers, and ‘thoughts and prayers.’ Because of its aggressive nature, it must also be characterized by an aggressive response. Otherwise, the slogan, ‘Never Again,’ involved after the Holocaust is likely to become “Ever Again.’
Given the pathetic response of most Western nations, let alone Muslim ones, to an increasingly virulent and violent outbreak of anti-Jewish violence, Mr. Thomas is a Godsend indeed.
Increasingly, in the post-Auschwitz era, deeply ingrained antisemitic actions and beliefs once reserved for individual or entire communities of Jews, has now been automatically transferred to the sole, resurrected Jew of the Nations instead.
Putting this another way, in the overwhelming majority of cases, antisemitism and anti-Zionism are now basically just flip sides of the same Jew-hating coin.
When the Jewish People are denied the same rights in one minuscule state, in which they have four millennia of solidly corroborated historical evidence linking them to the land, while invading Arab hordes, from a fast desiccating Arabian Peninsula have conquered vast numbers of other non-Arab native peoples and stealing their ancestral homelands in the name of the Dar ul-Islam and so-called “purely Arab patrimony” from the 7th century C.E. onwards until present times and their actions are not questioned, then the world has definitely lost its moral compass.
See below for that corroboration mentioned above which Arabs most certainly do not possess whatsoever. They arrived in the land of the Judaeans/Jews as merely another alien imperial, settling, colonizing invader and then unbelievably declared themselves sole owners of all the land.

Let’s turn now to the second well known commentator whose essay, “Tucker Carlson and the freedom of speech,” appeared in this same newspaper, Fox News’s Judge Andrew P. Napolitano.
His Honor has a beef with Senator Chuck Schumer.
Normally, I wouldn’t disagree with him on almost any thing he could say about Schumer, but this time something just hit a nerve…
The Senator has proposed a resolution supported by forty other Senate Democrats which would in essence condemn far-right wing, blatant antisemite, Tucker Carlson, because “of the political, historical, and cultural opinions of ‘a guest’ on Carlson’s widely followed podcast show.”
Napolitano makes this simply a matter of First Amendment rights.
But, I beg to differ… Unless I’m reading this incorrectly, no one is trying to silence this Jew baiting, Jew hating modern day Torquemada, who has repeatedly accused Jews of not only of killing Jesus, but also Charlie Kirk as well. See the links at the end of this analysis for further details.
Carlson, like Nazis his good pals, Nick Fuentes and Darryl Cooper, whom he interviews, admire and choose to emulate—the folks the Judge is speaking of in his article as “the others,’’ not Carlson himself, who’s also uttering those same hateful, violence-provoking words against Jews—has additionally, like the Nazis, referred to Jews as rats, and purposely and repeatedly selects blatantly one sided and bigoted anti-Israel, as well as antisemitic guests to interview.
Carlson, agreeing with carefully selected rejectionist Arabs he interviews, also claims that the sole, reborn, resurrected state of the Jewish People has no right to exist, while Arabs are somehow entitled to some two dozen, on over six million square miles of territory, mostly forcibly Arabized, Islamized, and stolen from other non-Arab native peoples in the region—often outlawing those native peoples’s very own languages and cultures.
There really is something to the adage, “birds of a feather flock together,” and in Carlson’s case his choice of friends and guests is revealing indeed. The extensively researched analyses you’ll soon find below keep me from reinventing the same wheel over and over again…but before we proceed, let’s consider His Honor’s open embrace of Tucker as his friend and Fox News colleague.
Does Napolitano really want to identify, as he has written, as part of the same flock that “friend” Carlson flies with?
Let me pose this in response…
Judge Napolitano is a proud Italian American Roman Catholic and has publicly written about these things. But consider the following…
If Tucker Carlson had a track record of repeatedly interviewing guests who hated Roman Catholics, trashed Italy and Italians, and advocated violence against them, and furthermore claimed that the nation of Italy has absolutely no right to exist, would the Judge be writing this same essay in defense of those folks spewing forth such vitriolic hatred against Italians and seeking the total destruction of Italy ?
The question goes beyond First Amendment and “chilling effect” rights and consequences that His Honor only focuses upon.
While Carlson should be able to speak his piece, and be able to interview even Hamas butchers, which he probably will do (if not done already) since he’s buying a nice place in his Hamas-enabling, black African slave holding Qatari friends’ homeland, and then should also be able to allow them to excoriate those “nasty Zionists” to their hearts’s desire, this doesn’t mean that Carlson’s doing such things should be beyond rebuke and reproach…
But this is just what Judge Napolitano expects and what he’s arguing for in protesting the Schumer led Senate resolution condemning Carlson.
In Napolitano’s world of justice, let Carlson interview all the Jew-hating folks he desires…as long they stick to Jews. “Jew” isn’t even mentioned once in his article, but it’s obvious who those controversial folks Tucker interviewed were fomenting against.
Once again, I ask the Judge, as a proud Italian Roman Catholic American, if he gets a chance to read this critique, to please return to the fourth paragraph above and reconsider whether Senator Schumer’s condemnation of such dangerous, violence- provoking bigotry is really beyond reason after all.
Let the Tucker Carlson ilk speak—but don’t prevent them from being criticized and facing the consequences of their hate-filled distortions, lies, and other nastiness which are certainly not befitting the greatness of our beloved country, where all people should be able to feel accepted without constantly being vilified and victimized.
Has His Honor listened to the hate constantly airing from Carlson’s podcasts, and those like him?
To reiterate, since October 7th, 2023, there has been a world wide explosion of antisemitism occurring, including right here in America. Thus, it’s not too much to ask that some real, effective, proactive preventative measures be taken before it’s too late.
Cal Thomas pointed out that had Australia done so, the Chanukah atrocities on Sydney’s Bondi Beach most probably would have been prevented.
Is the Judge waiting for that to happen here before something is done to curb the hate mongers in our beloved America ?
The Schumer sponsored Senate resolution condemning mentally disturbed bigots like Carlson—whether he’s a judge’s good buddy or not—should be supported by all freedom loving people who want an America where all peace-loving people can feel accepted and safe.
It’s been said that there is a fine line between free speech and hate speech, especially that which stirs the pot and promotes violence. I would suggest that to err on the side of caution, to protect human life above all else, might be the wise choice.
