Dumisani Washington, a man who bridges the gap between the Black and Jewish communities, didn’t hold back on what he sees as a growing rot within modern political movements.
Washington, the Founder and CEO of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, told me he is driven by a simple truth: hatred for Jews is all too often a precursor to broader violence. “As we see antisemitism rising… it’s always connected to the violence against Christians,” he explained, noting that the same mentality targeting Jews in the West leads to the deaths of Christians in places like Nigeria and Syria.
I asked him if he was surprised by the recent surge of antisemitism in pop culture, specifically referencing figures like Kanye West and the fallout since the October 7 terror attacks. Washington shook his head. He noted that the two years leading up to the massacre were marked by “Intifada-style violence” fueled by funding to Hamas. “It was clearly building up to something,” he said.
