"Jewish Problem" Conference in Kentucky Brings Together Antisemites, Extremists Across Political Spectrum [View all]

On June 30, 2024, some well-known antisemites from across the political and ideological spectrum gathered in Somerset, Kentucky, at the “JP” (or Jewish Problem) Conference. The event promoted anti-Jewish hate; speakers espoused disturbing rhetoric about Jews and proposed “solutions” to help fight against the “Jewish problem.” The conference featured white supremacists and far-right extremists, as well as Black nationalists and other antisemites — united by their shared hatred of Jews.

The JP Conference’s blatantly antisemitic focus and its range of speakers is unprecedented and highlights the dangerous rise of antisemitism in the United States. Although there have been other conferences featuring antisemitic speakers on themes such as Holocaust denial or the Middle East conflict, none have focused their hostility so sharply on the mere existence of Jews.

The conference was organized by 9/11 “truther” and antisemitic podcaster Khanverse, who also uses the names Naveed Khan and Kevin Victor, and presented by Network Radio, an independent media outlet that hosts conspiratorial podcasts. Network Radio’s founder, Fadi Malkosh, also helped host the conference.

The JP Conference hosted antisemitic authors, influencers, podcasters, extremists and former candidates from across the political spectrum. Chief among the speakers: Dr. Cynthia McKinney, a former Democratic member of the House of Representatives known for peddling antisemitic and anti-Zionist conspiracy theories and E. Michael Jones, a longtime antisemite and traditionalist Catholic writer who alleges that Jews are responsible for attacks on Catholicism and the destruction moral societies.
