Canadian pro-Iranian regime activist Firas Al-Najim, who belongs to the organization CD4HR, said at a vigil held on January 2, 2023 outside the U.S. consulate in Toronto in honor of the third anniversary of the U.S. assassination of IRGC Qods Force Commander General Qasem Soleimani and PMU deputy leader Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis that Soleimani and Al-Muhandis were “martyrs” who had fought for world peace and who have been labeled as terrorist by a “misinformation media campaign”. He also led chants of “We are all Qasem Soleimani!” and “Death to America!” A video of the vigil was tweeted by Al-Najim. CD4HR organized similar vigils in 2021 and 2022.

American writer E. Michael Jones said in an interview aired on January 1-2, 2023 on Channel 4 (Iran) that the most “fundamental” problem in American politics is Jewish “control” over the government and foreign policy. He said former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are controlled by the Jews and by Jewish money, and that the “Holocaust narrative” is the “fundamental myth of the American empire.” He also said that the “Jewish revolutionary spirit” of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland is the reason that the U.S. has been “provoking” the war in Ukraine, and he said that both of them are viewed as “always right” because they supposedly had relatives who died in the Holocaust. Jones said that Paul the Apostle had far preceded Hitler in saying that the Jews are the enemies of the “entire human race”, and he claimed that the Jews have caused the birth rate in Germany to “collapse” by implementing “ruthless forms of social engineering” as revenge against the Germans after World War II. He also said that in the United States, the Jews and the Protestants promote “covert warfare” by means of “population control” against the Catholics. He added that abortion is a “Jewish sacrament” and that since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the Jews have been saying that abortion is a “fundamental” religious value for them.The MEMRI Lantos Project exposes anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial in the Middle East region and Middle Eastern communities in the West with the aim of supporting legislation and educating media and the general public.
