Excerpt from The Spiritual War Against Israel, by Jim Scudder and Phil Stringer
The common belief of all antisemites, and the most dangerous blood libel against the Jews, is the idea that Jews are genetically different. According to the latest Jewish Conspiracy Theory, all Jews are genetically united in “a secret conspiracy” against all Gentiles. This supposedly secret conspiracy involves millions of people. A great variety of leaders and groups have promoted this claim.
The great Jewish Conspiracy Theory has been the basis for thousands of acts of violence taking place around the world. The theory is all over the internet. It is advocated by political leaders around the world. The theory is behind chants of “Gas the Jews” and “From the River to the Sea.” This rhetoric is used to justify attacks on synagogues, riots on college campuses, and the targeted murder of American Jews. It is even used to excuse terrorist attacks like September 11 and the horrible October 7 massacre in Israel.
It is impossible to stay up to date on the individuals promoting these views. Most of them issue new statements every day. Their statements become increasingly bizarre as they compete for digital attention.
Phony Conservatives
American conservatives traditionally believe in maintaining the core principles on which the country was founded. Phony conservatives claim the label but want to make the United States into something very different. They are change agents, not conservatives.
- Tucker Carlson: One of the most prominent examples is Tucker Carlson. He routinely repeats information from Pravda and Al Jazeera as established fact. Carlson was even named the Antisemite of the Year for 2025 by a Jewish civil rights group. He defends Iran’s mad mullahs. He blames the nation of Israel for all of the instability and unrest in the Middle East. He promotes a dangerous view of the region and attacks anyone who supports Israel as unpatriotic. His vision of the world, fueled by his animosity, would completely alter the nation.
- Candace Owens: Candace Owens was once a favorite of the conservative movement. Over the last few years, she has become better known for bizarre claims and extreme anti-Jewish statements. She routinely repeats ancient blood libels. In a podcast made the day before I wrote this piece, Owens claimed her colleagues were time travelers and that she was a space alien. Her father-in-law has publicly distanced himself from her. Yet she claims to speak for the mainstream political base when she opposes Israel.
- The Populist Shift: Commentators like Megyn Kelly claim that defending Israel is what drives people into antisemitism. Politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and Thomas Massie blame Israel for domestic budgetary and social problems. For many of these figures, being “America First” has been twisted into being anti-Israel and making excuses for geopolitical enemies.
Pseudo-Libertarians and Propagandists
By definition, libertarians believe in limited government and maximum personal liberty. Yet many self-proclaimed libertarians are now found defending megalomaniac tyrants, communist dictators, and Islamic terrorists. They rally around these despots for one reason: a mutual animosity toward Israel. They are willing to abandon true libertarian principles to oppose the Jewish state. Animosity is an emotional reaction that refuses to share the stage with logic.
This alignment relies heavily on modern propaganda. Historically, regimes have always used paid mouthpieces to distort reality—much like Tokyo Rose broadcasting fiction in World War II, or Baghdad Bob claiming American forces were defeated while tanks literally rolled past his television studio.
Today, the Hamas Information Network and Russian state press agencies issue daily releases. Media figures repeat these assertions as fact. Hostile news outlets are treated as authoritative by mainstream Western networks. No statement seems too extreme or ridiculous to believe. There is always someone available to read the script.
The Challenge
Bible believers and patriots must be careful not to be misled by these propagandists. The internet spreads these dangerous messages faster than any medium in human history. These ideas are even seeping into our local communities and churches.
“One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived!”—Machiavelli
People who want to believe they belong to a superior, enlightened group will always find a commentator who feeds that illusion. It is imperative that leaders and pastors confront these errors directly. We must demand truth and actively refute these digital distortions before they take deeper root.

Blood Libels Against the Jewish People
By Phil Stringer
Excerpt from The Spiritual War Against Israel by Jim Scudder and Phil Stringer
A blood libel is a false accusation made against a group of people that is designed to justify and provoke violence against them. History is full of examples of blood libels provoking violence against religious, racial, and political groups.
The Ultimate Blood Libel
Another conspiracy theory of the Middle Ages caused Jewish leaders to be routinely accused of “host stealing” from the local monasteries. The leaders were accused of sneaking into monasteries, stealing the bread that had already been blessed (believed by Catholic teaching to have literally become the body and blood of Jesus Christ), and using it in their ceremonies, intending to dishonor Jesus. Although the allegations are ridiculous, not long ago in the Arab world a series of TV specials aired on the crimes of the Jews, and an entire hour was devoted specifically to this topic. The program claimed that, to this day, there are areas of the Middle East in which Jews will enter Greek Orthodox and Catholic Churches, “host stealing.”
Jews have been unreasonably accused of child sacrifice and soaking the bread of the Passover meal in human blood. This, too, is still believed by some and has been propagated on Arab television. The current accusation was not presented as the activity of a few radical Jews, but rather, as the practice and teaching inherent in all Jewish people. Those who truly believe the Jews are looking for an opportunity to kill their child will certainly have an attitude toward the Jews of enmity as well as violence.
This is referred to as the “Ultimate Blood Libel.” It was used to justify many persecutions of the Jews throughout the Middle Ages. For centuries many Muslims have taught child sacrifice and human blood in the Passover offerings as historical fact. It is taught in many Arab schools today, especially in Gaza.
Hitler and the Nazis taught the “Ultimate Blood Libel.” So did the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan. This accusation has been spread by Christian Identity and Aryan Nation preachers.
Throughout 2024 and 2025, Candace Owens has been very aggressive in promoting this idea in the United States. Her statements are all over the internet!
The Great Jewish Conspiracy and the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion
This blood libel states that all Jews are bound by genetics into a conspiracy against all Gentiles. Every Jew is secretly plotting against all Gentiles. This has been taught by all the typical antisemites, but especially by Hitler and the Nazis.
According to this belief, all economic, cultural, and social problems are a result of the conscious conspiracy that involves all Jews. Nothing is your fault—all bad things are the result of the Jewish Conspiracy against you. This has been the centerpiece teaching of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam cult. They have influenced millions of black Americans to blame the Jews, all of them, for all their problems.
A document known as the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is offered as proof of this blood libel. The idea that you can involve millions of people throughout the world in a “secret conspiracy” is absurd on its face. The idea that the activities of millions of people worldwide can be seamlessly coordinated in secret is ridiculous!
The Great Jewish Conspiracy was used in several European nations to justify the persecution of the Jews, especially looting and plundering their property. This accusation was being used in Russia as the basis for massive amounts of looting. The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a thoroughly debunked czarist-era forgery designed to frame the Jewish people for global unrest.
The Protocols spread all over Europe and the USA. They have shown up in virtually every antisemitic movement imaginable. The Protocols were seen as complete fiction and illogical nonsense by almost everyone—unless you really wanted to believe them. There have always been some who did. Hitler used the Protocols as a major justification for World War II and it has been used to justify many acts of violence against Jewish people.
Today, the Protocols are referred to as authoritative by several members of the United States House of Representatives—the infamous Squad.
Once people make the great leap in imagination and assume that the Protocols are true, you can justify almost anything. Historically, this single forgery has been resurrected to blame Jewish people for everything from global depressions to modern pandemics and terrorist attacks. Even Henry Ford fell for the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion scam. He printed and distributed 500,000 copies.
Colonization and Genocide
The two most prominent (and deadly) Jewish libels in 2025 involve colonization and genocide.
On October 7, 2023, the most terrible attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust took place. Hamas terrorists brutalized, tortured, raped, and killed over 1,200 men, women, and children. They kidnapped hundreds of others. The entire Hamas organization uses the Palestinian citizens as human shields.
The very next day, Israel began to strike back. All around the world, antisemitic groups were organized and ready. In unison they claimed that the attacks didn’t happen (or were justified), took over college campuses, demanded that Palestine be recognized as the only nation in Palestine (from the River to the Sea), and that Western nations abandon Israel. They promoted every possible Jewish blood libel. Some chanted, “Gas the Jews.” The Free Palestine movement claimed that Israel was committing genocide. Supposedly, Israel was massacring every Palestinian possible to maintain their colonization of Palestine! They accused Israel of doing what Hamas had done.
Their propaganda campaign was well-organized, well-funded, and very effective. Now, Blood Libels had a social media component. Two years later, a majority of the world believes that Israel has simply been murdering as many Palestinians as possible. This is obviously not true. The Israeli military could easily kill over two million Palestinians in a few weeks. Israel obviously has the military capacity to do this. In two years of warfare, there have been around 65,000 Palestinians killed. Israel has been attacking terrorists. Many civilians, being used as human shields by the terrorists, have been killed. The Israeli military air force alone could easily kill more than 65,000 Palestinians a week. If the Gaza war is a genocide, it is the most inefficient genocide in the history of the world.
According to the book of Revelation, the world will yet see more worldwide violence against the Jewish people. No doubt the Blood Libels and all their evil will continue to exist until the Prince of Peace returns.
The Christ Killers
One of the most influential Blood Libels against the Jews is that they killed Christ. Martin Luther wrote an entire book, On the Jews and their Lies (1543), on this subject. In 1543, Martin Luther penned a vitriolic book filled with severe anti-Jewish recommendations—rhetoric that the Nazi regime later weaponized to justify the horrors of Kristallnacht.
Almost every day we hear about new attacks on Jews and Synagogues. This is what the Blood Libels against the Jews create. The dramatic increase in antisemitic violence is the direct result of the dramatic increase in Blood Libels against the Jews being broadcast on the internet. Bible believing Christians should lead the way in demanding truth and refuting error.
