Brendan O'Neill, chief political writer at Spiked has delivered a stark warning about the “cesspit of Jew hatred” currently “infecting” Britain while speaking to GB News.

Discussing the issue with Will Kingston, he argued that opposition to Zionism has fundamentally transformed over recent years, becoming entirely inseparable from hatred of Jewish people themselves.

"Something radical has changed, I think, over the past five or 10 years in particular, and especially since October 7, which is that anti-Zionism, in my mind, is now just entirely indistinguishable from anti-Semitism," Mr O'Neill stated.

He rejected the notion that this parallel represents mere coincidence.

The journalist and author described a "social media cesspit of Jew hatred and Israel hatred" that he believed was driving that trend and contaminating people across the political spectrum.

Mr O’Neill said this extended beyond the traditional left, arguing that concerning developments were emerging among what he termed the "crank-right," to distinguish them from mainstream conservatives.

"Tucker Carlson. Regretfully, Megan Kelly can now be added to that list. Candace Owens is the prime example," he listed off, expressing alarm at how established media figures had appeared to shift their positions.

Mr O’Neil pointed to more extreme online personalities who openly declare that "the Jews control the world" and claim "the Holocaust was exaggerated".

He characterised the current situation as a "pincer movement" between the left, who harbour what he called a "curious passion" of hatred for Israel, and right-wing figures descending into "hysterical Israel-phobia that very openly becomes bigotry."

The Spiked writer acknowledged that criticism of Zionism has a lengthy history, noting that revolutionary figures such as Leon Trotsky and deeply religious Jews both opposed the ideology for different reasons during the early twentieth century.

However, he maintained that contemporary anti-Zionism bears no resemblance to these earlier intellectual objections.

The writer pointed to leaked WhatsApp communications from the Green Party as evidence of how the term "Zionist" functions as a substitute for explicit anti-Jewish language.

"In one of those messages, one of them basically says, I'm sick and tired of having to say Zionist. We've been bullied into saying Zionist when the truth of the matter is we're talking about Jews. We're talking about Jewish supremacists who are an abomination to the planet," Mr O'Neill recounted.

He claimed that the overwhelming majority of Jewish people worldwide identify as Zionists, believing in the existence of a Jewish homeland.

Among the most serious sources of this hatred, Mr O’Neill argued, came from rising Islamism in Britain.

Mr O'Neil apportioned blame not solely to Islamists but also to Western society's failure to assert its values, arguing Britain has "emboldened the Islamist mob" by refusing to establish clear expectations about public behaviour and adherence to British principles.

To that end, he pointed to an apparent alliance between the Green Party and Islamist-aligned voters as an inherently unstable political arrangement.

The commentator characterised the coalition as bound together primarily by "burning hatred for Israel and by a general cynicism about the West".

"It's a ridiculous, suicidal alliance between lost leftists and opportunistic Islamists," he declared.

Mr O’Neill warned that Islamist members of this coalition actively despise the values their leftist partners champion, citing groups such as Queers for Palestine.
