Antisemite of the Year 2025: Your Vote Matters

 A look at the public figures spreading antisemitism in 2025 - and why your vote in this year’s “Antisemite of the Year” matters more than ever.

It’s that time of year again: Antisemite of the Year 2025.

Every year the list feels heavier, and this one is no different. Across TV, social media, podcasts, and celebrity platforms, certain voices pushed narratives that many people have called out as antisemitic, misleading, or sympathetic to extremist groups. Here’s a quick look at the names dominating the conversation this year.

Tucker Carlson
Once a primetime TV powerhouse, Carlson has increasingly echoed ideas critics describe as antisemitic or rooted in “replacement” conspiracies. His commentary has given fringe narratives a huge spotlight.

Rachel Griffin-Accurso (“Ms. Rachel”)
The children’s-content creator stepped into political waters this year, sharing posts and figures that many say promote Hamas-friendly messaging, including portraying a former PIJ operative as a peace advocate.

Guy Christensen
With millions of followers on TikTok, Christensen turned political commentary into viral fuel. His critics say he’s been pushing conspiracies, glamorizing extremists, and feeding young audiences a steady diet of hostile narratives.

Marcia Cross
The actress took a sharp political turn online, often defending actions of Hamas and amplifying posts that many Jewish followers described as openly hostile or antisemitic.

Bryce Mitchell
The UFC fighter moved beyond quirky conspiracy talk into territory that many recognized as classic antisemitism: including comments that sounded like Holocaust denial and aggressive rhetoric.

Cynthia Nixon
Known for her activism, Nixon embraced BDS messaging more boldly this year. Her posts repeatedly amplified narratives that many Jewish groups saw as harmful or one-sided.

Cenk Uygur
The founder of The Young Turks has a long list of controversial takes. This year he continued sharing commentary that Jewish organizations flagged as antisemitic or rooted in old tropes.

Ana Kasparian
Kasparian, also from TYT, echoed some of those themes - including accusations of “dual loyalty” and conspiratorial framing that critics called deeply problematic.

Stew Peters
After losing monetization on X, Peters doubled down on extreme rhetoric. His content pushed Holocaust denial and demonizing language that has been widely condemned.

Calla Walsh
At 21, Walsh has already become a polarizing activist. She openly backs groups hostile to Israel, praises authoritarian regimes, and even appeared on Iranian state TV chanting “Death to America” while attacking Israel.

A quick look at past winners

If you’ve been following this project in previous years, the names might ring a bell. Candace Owens was chosen in 2024. Rashida Tlaib took the title in 2023. Kanye West was the 2022 pick after a year of unapologetic antisemitic outbursts. Before that came Anuradha Mittal in 2021, Nerdeen Kiswani in 2020 and Ilhan Omar in 2019. Each year tells a story of its own - how hate spreads, who amplifies it and how audiences respond when influential figures choose to target Jews.
