Excellent and informative analysis, as usual Robert.
“Useful idiots” is a perfect term you used to describe these fools like Leverett and MSNBC. Useful to the Muslim enemies, of course.
It’s sickening to see such arrogance and ignorance, but a good reminder of how much work we have left to do.
I’m happy that Ed Berliner and Newsmax continue to give you a platform to spread the word. Keep shining the light Sir. The World would be terribly uninformed without you.

I am currently reading “The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History” and I have read other books on this subject and I think it is extremely ignorant to claim that there is no antisemitism in Islam. The antisemitism is not only in the hadith; it is in the text of the Qur’an itself and its significance in the Muslim faith should be known. It’s not just a scholar opinion. It is there, black on white! Therefore, Robert Spencer is absolutely right with what he said.
However, there is also another truth particularly in countries like Iran and Turkey. In these two countries, there are people who are secular, humanist and cosmopolite. They define themselves as Muslims but they don’t pray five times a day, they don’t fast, they don’t go to Mecca, hey drink alcohol, they live in marriages with equal rights, they are well educated, they know the West.
They don’t define themselves as Christians but some of them celebrate even Valentine’s Day or Christmas. They celebrate the major Islamic holidays as well. Such people have also Jewish people as friends. I know many people like that and I can say that they are not antisemitic at all. They are muslims, they believe in God but they leave the unpleasant parts of their religion out and ignore them. Some of them are actually proud of the better relations of the Jews with the Muslims compared to what happened in Europe and say that openly. That’s probably the experience Hillary Mann Leverett is talking about.
However, if she thinks that is Islam and has something to do with its teachings she is terribly wrong.
It is incorrect that “Christian antisemitism has been repudiated by all the churches” (@4:55). One, and not the only, exception, is the Russian Orthodox Church, which has not, notwithstanding a statement to that effect by Alexy II, in a speech in New York before a Jewish community . The Russian church, under whose aegis the infamous Protocols were published, continues rather than opposes Jew-hating propaganda. This exception is very significant – not only because this is the national Russian church, but also because it is very close to the secular ruling elite.

Lovely to meet you Robert to put a face to a name….
I noticed the Jews pictured were orthodox, maybe theyre a little more dogmatic I dont know, and speak out more than others, but I do connect to the Chabad Community and have never heard them speak on Islamic issues in a derogatory manner.
I’d just like to say, if you read up on St Jerome, a Doctor of the Church, whose books remain in library’s everywhere and still read, there is nothing more anti-semetic there-in and regardless of the hand of peace between us , in good faith or goodwill maybe a better word, there has been nothing removed from our Easter Liturgy that returns back to “perfidious Jews” apart from the “make over” given by Benedict to Judas Iscarriot.

What point are you trying to make.
Your one to one introductory comment
“Lovely to meet you Robert to put a face to a name” shows an a bit arrogance and self-promotion as if to say you are someone very special.
You obtuse comment is dripping with deceit.
Why not be honest and state your position clearly instead of sneaking around with innuendo?
It gives the impression that you are someone who can’t be trusted.

You still carrying on…..it is nice to put a face to a name and Robert must have said something constructive for me to be impressed without watching the clip again… anonymity usually comes cheap and cowardly too not to be taken seriously.
