Anti-Muslim hate and antisemitism are twin crises. We must confront them together Recent attacks on Muslim and Jewish communities demonstrate a dangerous rise in intertwined hatreds, fueled by conspiracy theories and far-right politics. These prejudices, historically rooted, are now amplified by social media and political platforms, often pitting communities against each other. True safety lies in solidarity, as demonstrated by instances of mutual support between Muslim and Jewish groups.

• Recent attacks in San Diego and London highlight rising anti-Muslim hate and antisemitism.
• Hostility towards Islam and Muslims has become central to far-right political platforms across the west.
• Antisemitic conspiracy theories often involve claims of hidden Jewish elites manipulating global events.
• The ‘great replacement theory’ fuses anti-Muslim and antisemitic sentiments, alleging a Jewish elite is orchestrating the replacement of white populations with Muslims.
• Historical parallels exist between current anti-immigration campaigns and early 20th-century antisemitic immigration laws.
• Divisions are deepening, with communities blaming Jewish people for Israeli government actions and Muslims for the actions of armed groups.
• Solidarity between Muslim and Jewish communities is crucial for confronting these shared threats.
• Defeating these rising hatreds requires confronting them together, as they feed on each other and fear-mongering politics.
