The ‘new anti-Semitism’ discourse is a transnational racial governance aimed at racializing, migratizing and debilitating populations, targeting bodies of the global majority. The ‘new anti-Semitism’ is a transnational colonial state mechanism, that promotes the notion that there is a global alliance between the left, queer-feminism, post-colonial theories and Arabs, Muslim and migrants. Within the ‘new anti-Semitism’ discourse, the so-called intention of these alliances is the proliferation and expansion of anti-Semitism, ‘religious radicalism’ and ‘religious terrorism’ globally which supposedly endangers ‘liberal democracy’ and ‘western’ values such as tolerance, and gender and sexual equality. This leads to the justification of right-wing politics and State–Philosemitism that materializes as ever-increasing state and border policing, surveillance and securitization. 

The research focuses on questions of epistemic entanglements of sexualization and race within the ‘new-anti-Semitism’ discourse as well as processes of racialization and migratization that maintain this discourse. The adoption of the ‘new anti-Semitism’ in the queer community is a focal point in my theorization of Homophilosemitism. Within the aim to decolonize knowledge on religion and gender, namely anti-Semitism and its relations to gender and sexuality, the analytical concept of Genitalities is being developed as a form of assemblages theory. The study adopts methods from culture studies and anthropology, and aims to illuminate the obscuring of whiteness and racism within (queer) necropolitical governmentality.
