Across England, a disturbing wave of anti-Muslim pogroms and race riots has swept urban centers, inflaming societal fissures in service of a pernicious agenda. The misleadingly-dubbed “English Defense League” (EDL) and its figurehead Tommy Robinson have emerged as the public face of these violent disturbances. However, a look under the hood exposes this hate movement as merely the blunt instrument of a more sophisticated and symbiotic network – one consisting of American tech billionaires, right-wing Zionist money laundering outfits, and the Israeli nationalist regime itself.
Despite attempting to project an aura of ‘working-class’ British nativism (still denying the fact that European working classes have been multicolored for hundreds of years), the EDL is lavishly bankrolled by an underground financial pipeline flooding from the coffers of American Zionist oligarchs. The Middle East Forum of pro-Israel pundit Daniel Pipes has funneled legal defense money to Robinson. Canadian Zionist media mogul Ezra Levant’s Rebel News has provided a prominent platform amplifying Robinson’s provocations. Perhaps most damningly, the EDL’s very incarnation emerged suspiciously quickly on the heels of the UK’s racist British National Party being marginalized – almost as if a new anti-Muslim vector was urgently required.
All the while, instrumental support for these street agitators has emanated from the ideological vanguard of transnational hatemongers. At the vortex of this stands the Gatestone Institute, a pro-Israel think tank bankrolled by American billionaire heiress Nina Rosenwald. Rosenwald’s ill-gotten millions flow liberally to catalyze Islamophobic advocacy across Western capitals like Washington, London and beyond.
Rosenwald’s partner in fomenting racist unrest is none other than the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), Britain’s premier powerhouse for pro-Israel advocacy and neoconservative agitation. Douglas Murray, the HJS’s leading ideologue, has actively cheered the impending “brutal” ethnic violence against UK Muslims while enjoying VIP treatment at Netanyahu’s address before the US Congress. Murray does not confine himself to mere vitriol; he has infamously associated with figures like far-right Swedish activist Ingrid Carlqvist, who participated in one of the many grotesque European Quran desecrations aimed at inflaming Muslims.
The World’s Richest Racist
Yet the ultimate puppet master engineering this scourge may be the world’s newly-minted top anti-Muslim instigator: billionaire Elon Musk. From his plush perch as a VIP guest of Netanyahu, the apartheid South Africa-born white man has persistently stoked fears of an imminent “civil war” being sparked in the UK by its Muslim minority. Musk is not an outlier but rather represents the vanguard of a burgeoning oligarchic sect of white (and Ashkenazi-white) elites discovering personal enrichment opportunities in stoking civilizational clashes with Muslims worldwide.
Just as royal families in the 20th century, such as Queen Elizabeth of Britain or Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, sympathized with Nazis, today’s white neo-colonial elites like Musk thrive on similar racial hatred to justify their own exorbitant wealth while not losing the support of the lower classes of the same color. As Professor Gerald Horne has pointed out numerous times, white supremacy has been the historical winning ticket to get low-class whites to betray their own class interests and support the super wealthy, simply because they share the same skin color. It is the best trick in the book.
As British authorities flail impotently, scapegoating free speech while coddling the EDL foot soldiers, we must reckon with the true driving forces of racism. An interconnected global network of Zionist hate financiers, militant nationalistic think tanks, and their racist, white supremacist billionaire enablers are subsidizing these engineered provocations. All toward accruing geopolitical leverage to be harnessed in service of the West and the apartheid Israeli regime’s megalomaniacal ambitions over an ethnically cleansed Palestine and a subdued Muslim world.
Islamophobia Industry
The disturbing trend of whipping up anti-Muslim animus coursing through Europe did not emerge in a vacuum. It represents just the latest front in a coordinated campaign of Islamophobic instigation bankrolled by the entrenched network of pro-Israel lobbyists and hate financiers. A fact starkly underscored by the recent legal vindication of Professor David Miller against the University of Bristol.
Miller, a political sociologist, faced concerted efforts to purge him from academia for his vocal criticisms of Zionism’s role in fueling Western animus towards Muslims. Despite milquetoast overtures that his opposition centered solely on Israeli nationalist ideology rather than Jews themselves, he endured years of threats and pressure from pro-Israel activists and organizations seeking his ouster. Their campaign relied heavily on conflating Miller’s anti-Zionist views with anti-Semitism through distortional deployment of the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition.
In a watershed legal victory, an employment tribunal ruled that Miller’s “anti-Zionist” philosophical beliefs indeed qualified as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act. It condemned the University of Bristol’s dismissal of Miller as a direct act of discrimination over his ideological stance. This represented a pivotal precedent in Britain’s escalating battles over the policing of “wrongthink” narratives around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and rising Islamophobia.
The very same malign actors who targeted Miller for destruction can be shown to constitute key nodal forces animating the current spasms of anti-Muslim bigotry exploding into riots. Professor Miller’s legal affirmation that ideological opposition to Israel’s racist dispossession constitutes a protected belief represents a vital counterweight. It enshrines ethical space for Palestinians and their allies to denounce the discriminatory zealotry fueling both Israel’s ethno-state and its Western adjuncts like the anti-Muslim pogroms convulsing Britain. Only by extracting this Zionist poison from the socio-political mainstream can true tolerance and democratic pluralism be safeguarded.
Beyond Peaceful Marches: Activism Must Target The Zionist Ultra Rich
The urgent imperative becomes surgically severing the financial lifelines that feed ‘working-class racism’ from the well-heeled puppet-masters who promote it. Europe’s besieged Muslim communities and communities of color cannot neutralize the astronomical wealth of American hate peddlers and Israeli ethno-nationalist overlords through street skirmishes alone. Only an uncompromising offensive targeting the ultra-rich bankrollers of Zionist racial demagoguery and white supremacist bigotry can succeed.
This must entail a multi-pronged onslaught – unleashing the blunt instruments of divestment campaigns, corporate lawsuits, and overwhelming popular pressure to defund the likes of Elon Musk, the Murdoch dynasty, AIPAC-affiliated donor networks, Zionism-underwriting globalized banks, European royal families, and all other institutional bankrollers of Zionism. Every capitalist enriching themselves through perpetuating sectarian divides and ethnic hate must be surgically separated from our societies.
As such, our struggle must target the Mark Zuckerbergs, Bill Gates, and Alphabet/Google’s digital kings and queens who have knowingly abetted Israel’s violence against Palestinians. Each has bolstered the apartheid regime’s capacity for destruction with indispensable technological augmentation – arming it with weaponized digital appendages that enable surveillance, oppression, censorship of victims’ voices, and algorithmic amplification of bigotry and right-wing content while suppressing anti-racism and anti-Zionism across their global web platforms. Defeating Zionist-emboldened racism thus demands nothing less than a comprehensive unplugging from these very digital platforms. Indeed, why, in god’s name, are so many Muslims and people of color still using platforms like X/Twitter?
Only through such a total economic-political-technological root extraction can the metastasizing scourge afflicting our world finally be rendered inert. Lest it bloat into a full-fledged pogrom echoing the horrors that deeply scarred the European world, the time to deliver this ideological behemoth its mortal blows is now. The very integrity of the world’s social fabric, and by extension its democratic future, depends on a swift and merciless abandoning of all forces poisoning its soul with the discriminatory blight of Zionism and white supremacist racism.
