Farrakhan Promotes Antisemitism, Anti-vaccine Conspiracies in “Swan Song” Saviours’ Day Address

The Nation of Islam (NOI) held its annual Saviours’ Day event on February 27, 2022. The event, which commemorates the birth of NOI founder Fard Muhammad and culminates in a keynote address by longtime NOI leader Louis Farrakhan, regularly features extensive antisemitic, bigoted and conspiratorial rhetoric.

In 2022, Farrakhan again injected antisemitism into his address, claiming that Jews are the enemy of Jesus and promoting antisemitic tropes about Jewish control. Farrakhan also reiterated the conspiratorial anti-vaccine rhetoric that has characterized the NOI’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. In the weeks leading up to the event, Farrakhan’s speech was advertised as potentially the 88-year-old’s last major public address, though he reassured supporters that he was not retiring.

Likening himself to Jesus, Farrakhan asked the audience gathered at Mosque Maryam in Chicago, “How many of you have the friendship of Jews or the hatred of Jews, where you can’t even say a kind word about me? And you’ve got to answer to them. It’s in the Book of John; the people got afraid to say anything good about Jesus, because the Jews jumped on them. That’s what they did to Nick Cannon That’s what they did to others who say they love Farrakhan.” Cannon was fired by ViacomCBS in 2020 after he praised Farrakhan and made antisemitic remarks on a podcast episode.

Farrakhan added, “The enemies of Jesus were Jews…They turned away from God and used the skill and wisdom that God gave them to trick people into sin. Now, Satan has to be exposed. The liar has to be exposed.” Farrakhan also made multiple references to “the Jews and their power” throughout the address.
