Twelve years ago, in 2013, the Gatestone Institute published an in-depth account of the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration operations vs. the U.S. government (written by this author). The vicious outburst of antisemitic Jew-hatred that followed the horrific Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023, centered alarmingly on America’s university campuses but also was evident in violent attacks against Jews on our streets and at their synagogues. Much of this was obviously coordinated, orchestrated, and funded by Muslim Brotherhood (MB) front groups such as the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) and others—again written about here by this author at American Greatness in May 2025. The broader implications, as noted in that piece, must lead to Hamas and Brotherhood sponsors abroad as well as here at home.
As the new Trump administration came into office in January 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi established the Joint Task Force October 7 (JTF 10-7), whose purpose is to seek justice for the victims of October 7 but also to address “the ongoing threat posed by Hamas and its affiliates” in the homeland. The Department of Justice (DOJ) also set up the Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, led by civil rights attorney Leo Terrell. Clearly, the new Trump administration is aware of and determined to counter antisemitism by going after the organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood that sponsor it. However, it still seems not to have focused on nation-state sponsors, like Qatar and Turkey.
