(JEWISH GROUP) Antisemitism is no longer just an ideology -- it's an economic model

[Behind the Aegis]

Days after Mohammed “Mo” Khan, a Temple University student, was suspended after an antisemitic altercation at a Philadelphia sports bar, he appeared on the podcast of Stew Peters.

Peters, a vocal Holocaust denier who has called for the mass deportation of Jews and refers to Zionists as a global financial cabal, bantered with Khan about “Jewish supremacy,” and then rewarded him with $100,000 in $JPROOF, a cryptocurrency launched by Peters in April that he marketed as a way to “liberate” financial systems from Rothschild-like Jewish banking influence.

The use of crypto reflects a deeper shift: Antisemitism is no longer just an ideology; it is also an economic model. We are not just confronting hateful speech; we are confronting a comprehensive digital and economic system. The only meaningful response is systemic as well: a new regulatory approach that targets the monetization mechanisms, technological enablers, and financial platforms that turn hate into profit.

The antisemitism of 2025 is no longer confined to fringe forums or swastikas sprayed on synagogue walls. It’s livestreamed, crowdsourced, and, for the first time, monetized. And crucially, it travels faster than our capacity to respond. Welcome to the new economy of hate.

Student suspended for ‘F— the Jews’ video defends himself on antisemitic podcast

Mo Khan, the suspended Temple University student who posted video of a “F— the Jews” sign at a Philadelphia sports bar, could have gone on a free educational trip to Auschwitz — as Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy initially offered.

Instead, the 21-year-old appeared on Holocaust denier Stew Peters’ podcast to tell his side of the story. Peters, a longtime promoter of antisemitic conspiracy theories, has called for the mass deportation of all Jews from the U.S., claimed that President Donald Trump’s support for Israel was driven by “Jewish paymasters,” and blamed the assassination of JFK on the Mossad.

On Tuesday’s podcast, Khan said he “absolutely” agreed with Peters that people should “join forces” to fight “Jewish supremacy.”

Khan became the focus of online discourse after posting a video to social media on Saturday of waitresses holding a “F— the Jews” sign at a sports bar owned by Portnoy, who is Jewish. According to Portnoy, Khan and another patron requested the sign, which appeared in the video as customers danced to a thumping beat. “F— ’em! F— ’em!” someone shouted in the background.

1. Suspension? Expell the jackass.

2. Incidentally, I am in the middle of reading Umberto Eco's Prague Cemetery. It's all about monetising antisemitism.

The protagonist is a fictional character going through real events and encountering real characters from the end of 19th century Europe. Having started as a petty notary, he quickly discovers a huge market for forging antisemitic material and publishing it as conspiracy theories that turn out very marketable and in demand among a variety of Europe's competing institutions of the times, from governments and churches to secretive practitioners of occult arts and spy networks of all sorts. It turns out, and this is the main premise of the novel, that all of them hate the Jews equally, and the same antisemitic conspiracy theories are consumed by all of them with equal passion regardless of the distinctions and antagonisms that exist between them. All one has to do is to fit the same antisemitic tropes into their preferred narratives, both of these already established and requiring no additional intellectual effort to produce.

Monetizing antisemitism is nothing new. The only thing that changes is the technology that enables it.
