The Transformation of Christian Identity: Evaluating the Increase in Anti-Judaism on Social Media Platforms

Abstract

The goal of this study is to highlight the continued presence of Anglo-Israelism on the far-right. It also aims to underscore the various modern far-right actors which adhere to, and actively promote, Anglo-Israelite ideologies. The first chapter addresses the definition of anti-Judaism, and finds it the most suitable term for describing current forms of anti-Jewish hate in America. The Second chapter analyzes the origin and theology of Anglo-Israelism. The third chapter highlights modern proponents of Anglo-Israelism, their goals/motivation, and their recruitment techniques. The final chapter reviews findings and suggest a more aggressive approach to the implementation of holocaust education and critical race theory in American K-12 classrooms in order to curb the spread of far-right extremism.
