Last year, far-right Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon teamed up with fellow Christian nationalist pastor Andrew Isker for a multi-part podcast on the topic of Judaism.
Given that Webbon is a notorious antisemite and that Isker co-wrote "Christian Nationalism: A Biblical Guide For Taking Dominion And Discipling Nations" with Andrew Torba, the virulently antisemitic founder of the social media platform Gab, it was no surprise to find that their series echoed those views.
The series had initially required a membership to Webbon's Patreon account to watch, but this year he began airing it for free on his YouTube channel. In the episode that aired last Friday, Isker and Webbon railed against the term "Judeo-Christian," insisting that Judaism has no place in the United States because "this country belongs to Jesus."
"What is the Judeo-Christian thing?" asked Isker. "We think it's the antidote to secularism to say, 'Oh, we need to return to our Judeo-Christian traditions.' It's not. To use the phrase 'Judeo-Christian,' you might as well put a coexist bumper sticker on your car."
"This country belongs to Jesus," Isker continued. "He is God. This is his; not any other people but his people. Therefore, if you want these blessings and benefits, you need to join yourself to him alone."
"The idea that [Jews] are the special people that we need to carve out some space for them and give them a seat at the table and all of these things, no, you're putting the coexist bumper sticker on your car," he added. "You're rejecting the exclusivity of Christ if you do that. When we talk about things like Christian nationalism—which really just is a synonym for Christendom—it's not Judeo-Christendom."
"It's Christian nationalism, not Judeo-Christian nationalism," Webbon agreed. "If you want to ensure that whatever Christian nationalism we might attain, if you want to ensure that it's immediately lost, then make it Judeo-Christian nationalism."
"We have Judeo-Christian nationalism right now," Webbon continued. "It's called pluralism, it's called polytheism, it's called idolatry, it's called secularism, it's called perversion. We already have Judeo-Christian nationalism. We would like to have just Christian nationalism."
