Antisemitic tropes, also known as antisemitic canards or antisemitic libels, are "sensational reports, misrepresentations or fabrications" directed at Jews as an ethnicity or Judaism as a religion.

Since the 2nd century, allegations of Jewish guilt or cruelty have become a recurring motif in antisemitic tropes. Antisemitic tropes tend to take the form of libels, stereotypes or conspiracy theories, which typically construe Jews as cruel, powerful or controlling. They can also take the form of denying or trivializing any historical injustices towards Jews, which have been causing systemic racism, violence, pogroms and genocides against Jews throughout history.

Antisemitic tropes mainly evolved in monotheistic societies, whose religions were derived from Judaism. Many tropes were traceable to Christianity's early days. The most common trope was the Jewish deicide, which accused Jews of being collectively responsible for the death of Jesus. These tropes were later mirrored by Quranic claims that Jews were "visited with wrath from Allah" due to their alleged practice of usury and "disbelief" in His revelations. In medieval Europe, antisemitic tropes were expanded in scope to justify mass persecutions and expulsions of Jews. Particularly, Jews were repeatedly massacred over libels of "causing" epidemics, especially the devastating 14th-century Black Death, and "ritually consuming Christian babies' blood".

In the 19th century, canards of Jews "plotting world domination" by "controlling" global banking, commerce and media spread, which mutated into modern tropes, especially the allegation of Jews "inventing and promoting world communism". These tropes fatefully formed Adolf Hitler's worldview, caused WWII and the Holocaust, which killed at least 6 million Jews (67% pre-war European Jews). Since the 20th century, antisemitic libels' usage has been documented among "anti-Zionists".

Most contemporary antisemitic tropes feature the denial or trivialization of atrocities against Jews, mainly associated with the denial and trivialization, or of the post-1948 Jewish exodus from Muslim countries. Holocaust denial intertwines with pre-existing antisemitic tropes, typical of which is the claim that the Holocaust was "fabricated" or "exaggerated" to "advance the interests" of the Jews and Israel. A more recent example is the denial or revisionism of the October 7 massacres, with the victims overwhelmingly Jewish, including a number of Holocaust survivors.

Economic and political tropes

World domination

The publication of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in 1903 is usually considered the beginning of contemporary conspiracy theory literature. The "Jewish world domination" trope is often manifested in both writings and imagery, where Jews are accused of seeking world domination via nefarious means. Typical examples include Nazi-originated cartoons depicting Jews as a giant octopus clutching the globe. A more recent example is the 2001 Egyptian reprint of Henry Ford's antisemitic text The International Jew, with the same octopus imagery on the front cover.

Among the earliest refutations of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as a forgery were a series of articles printed in The Times in 1921. The series revealed much of The Protocols to have been plagiarized from The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, an earlier satire without antisemitic themes. Since the forgery's first print in 1903, the publishers have offered contradictory testimonies on the origin of the original manuscript.

The forgery was popularized by the Russian Empire's supporters to discredit the Bolsheviks by accusing the Jews of "orchestrating" the Russian revolution, which was co-opted by the Nazis following the emergence of the Soviet Union. Weaponizing pre-existing antisemitism in society, the lie of "Jewish world domination" was made up for attempting the release of public anxiety from political upheavals by scapegoating Jews as a nefarious conspiracy to "undermine" the status quo.

The "Jewish world domination" trope later spread westward. The Great Depression and Nazism's rise catalyzed the evolution of the debunked forgery, which has been often cited for the alleged existence of a "powerful Jewish cabal" by antisemites in both the Middle East and the United States. Simultaneously, the Nazis, accusing "international Jewry" of plotting WWII with its "control" of the states that formed the Allies, threatened to annihilate the Jews. A contemporary form of the trope often goes by the name Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG), which accuses the Jews of controlling Western governments. The ZOG lie is peddled by Neo-Nazis, White nationalists, black supremacists and Islamists worldwide.

It is claimed that Malcolm X, a famous Black American activist, deemed The Protocols of the Elders of Zion authentic and introduced it to members of the Nation of Islam (NOI), leading to its circulation among the Black American community. Malcolm X broke with the NOI in March 1964.

The New Black Panther Party (NBPP), a black separatist group, has actively promoted antisemitic tropes. In the leadup to a 2006 Democratic primary runoff in the U.S. state of Georgia, the NBPP claimed,

...so-called Jews in Israel in what’s really Palestine…some player haters, some Zionists, some so-called Jews who the Book of Revelations…calls the Synagogue of Satan.

When the NBPP-backed candidate Cynthia McKinney lost to her rival Hank Johnson, NBPP's members alleged "Jewish domination",

You got what you damn wanted. You got your Uncle Tom...You ain't in Israel...Gonna get your Jewish … (inaudible)...You wanna know what led to the loss? Israel. The Zionists. You. Put on your yarmulke and celebrate.

In the 2010s, the NBPP was also involved in incidents of voter intimidation and pro-BLM mass shooting. Similar rhetoric was allegedly employed by Cori Bush, a progressive Black American Democratic congresswoman, when she lost her primary to Wesley Bell. It led to her rebuke by the White House.

On 16 October 2003, the Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammed drew a standing ovation at the Organisation of the Islamic Conference after claiming:

Today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them...They invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong...they have gained control of the most powerful countries...

In April 2017, the Politico magazine published an article alleging links between the then-U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Jewish religious group Chabad. Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), condemned the article as "evok age-old myths about Jews".

In December 2023, Australian Green MP Jenny Leong, echoed Mahathir Mohammed's 2003 speech at a Palestine Justice Movement forum:

the Jewish lobby and the Zionist lobby are infiltrating into every single aspect of what is ethnic community groups...they rock up to every community event because their tentacles reach into the areas that try and influence power.

She apologized after being condemned.

The "Jewish world domination" trope persists in the 21st century. It is often veiled as a "criticism" of "Jewish plutocrats" allegedly behind perceived political changes. For instance, QAnon conspiracy theorists believe in the existence of a "satanic cabal" of "global elites", who they call the globalists, drinking children's blood to achieve immortality and "world domination". Two-time heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury has spoken of his belief in a "Zionist" plot to "brainwash people" and "lower moral standard" via the "media and finance". According to Argentine-Israeli Jewish educator Gustavo Perednik, antisemites often pass off their aggressive instincts as a "struggle" of "the oppressed" against the "powerful Jews".

Controlling the media

Another common antisemitic trope is that "the Jews control the media and Hollywood".

In Eastern Europe, the Czech politician Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, believed that Jews "controlled the press", despite his previous objection to antisemitism during the Hilsner affair. Czech historian Jan Láníček said,

The great philosopher and humanist Masaryk was still using the same anti-Semitic trope found at the bottom of all anti-Jewish accusations.

In Western Europe, Arthur Griffith, the founder of the Sinn Féin party that won Ireland's independence, was also a promoter of the "Jewish media control" trope. Griffith claimed that Dublin newspapers were

almost all Jew rags...Fifty other rags like those which have nothing behind them but the forty or fifty thousand Jewish usurers and pick-pockets in each country and which no decent Christian ever reads except holding his nose as a precaution against nausea.

Griffith's antisemitism is still present in the party. For instance, lower house parliamentarian Réada Cronin claimed in 2020 that Jews were "responsible for European wars" and "Adolf Hitler was a pawn of the Rothschilds... not have been too far wrong".

In the United States, J.J. Goldberg, The Forward's editorial director, published a study of this trope in 1997, concluding that, Jewish Americans "do not make a high priority of Jewish concerns" despite holding many prominent positions in the American media industry. Variants on this theme focus on Hollywood, the press, and the music industry. Renowned attorney and legal scholar Alan Dershowitz also commented,

Many of these individuals are Jewish only in the sense that their parents or grandparents happen to be Jews. They do not live Jewish lives or support Jewish causes…do not conspire to exercise any sort of "Jewish control" over the areas in which they work. Indeed, many individual Jews who are in positions of authority are anti-Israel...So let's stop all this nonsense about Jewish control over the media and praise those individual Jews who, by dint of hard work and talent, have earned their place, as individuals, in so many areas of American life. I always thought that was the American dream.

Controlling the global financial system

The ADL documented various antisemitic tropes that had associated Jews with banking, including the lie that "global banking is dominated by the Jewish Rothschild family", and that "the Jews control America's Federal Reserve". This trope is traceable to the medieval prevalence of Jews in the money-lending profession. In an article debunking this lie, the anti-racist activist Tim Wise wrote,

Of course, in keeping with the logic of anti-Jewish bigots, perhaps one should ask the following: If media or financial wrongdoing is Jewish inspired...should the depredations of white Christian-dominated industries (like the tobacco or automobile industries) be viewed as examples of white Christian malfeasance? After all, 400,000 people per year die because of smoking-related illnesses, and tobacco companies withheld information on the cancerous properties of their products. Likewise, should executives at Ford and Firestone be thought of as specifically white Christian criminals, due to recent disclosures that defective tires were installed on SUVs, resulting in the deaths of over 150 people worldwide? Is their race, religion or ethnic culture relevant to their misdeeds? If not, why is it suddenly relevant when the executives in question are Jewish?

Usury and profiteering

In the Middle Ages, Jews were restricted from most professions and were pushed into socially undesirable marginal occupations, such as tax collection and moneylending, due to the Roman Catholic Church's prohibition on Christians from charging interest for debt. For instance, the 1179 Third Council of the Lateran threatened excommunication for any Christians lending money at interest, which caused those who desired loans to approach Jews. Natural tension between gentile debtors and Jewish creditors reinforced pre-existing biases against Jews:

Financial oppression of Jews tended to occur in areas where they were most disliked, and if Jews reacted by concentrating on moneylending to gentiles, the unpopularity – and so, of course, the pressure – would increase...Christians...condemned interest-taking...and from 1179 those who practised it were excommunicated...Christians also imposed the harshest financial burdens on Jews. Jews reacted by engaging in the one business where Christian laws actually discriminated in their favour, and so became identified with the hated trade of moneylending.

In England, the departing Crusaders were joined by debtors in the massacres of Jews at London and York in 1189–1190. In 1275, Edward I of England passed the Statute of Jewry to outlaw usury to punish Jewish creditors. Scores of English Jews were arrested, 300 of whom were hanged. In 1290, all Jews were expelled from England. According to German-Jewish American historian Walter Laqueur:

The issue at stake was not really whether the Jews had entered it out of greed...The high tide of Jewish usury was before the fifteenth century; as cities grew in power and affluence, the Jews were squeezed out from money lending with the development of banking.

Kosher tax

The "Kosher tax" trope alleges that food producers are "forced" to pay an exorbitant premium in order to display a symbol on their products for indicating that it is kosher, which is allegedly passed on to consumers with increased prices. It is mainly spread by antisemitic white supremacist and other extremist organizations. Refuters contended that food producers would not engage in the certification process if it was not profitable to obtain the "kosher certification", which is actually a voluntary business decision, while the "resultant" increased sales would lower the average cost.

Propagation of Communism

In the early 20th century, newer allegations of Jews masterminding the propagation of Communism emerged, with the most notorious but fateful example being The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (1903).

The term "Judeo-Bolshevism" was popularized by Nazi propaganda to conflate Jews with communists, present Jews as an existential threat to Germany, justify their initiation of WWII and the Holocaust. A Polish equivalent of the said trope is Żydokomuna, which accused "most Jews" of having "collaborated with the Soviet Union" in "importing communism" to Poland. Żydokomuna is also related to the contemporary Zionist Occupation Government conspiracy theory (ZOG) still popular in the Middle East and among extremists in America.

Religious tropes

Guilt for the death of Jesus

The death of Jesus has long been falsely blamed on Jews as a people throughout generations:

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

– Matthew 27:24–25

Jewish deicide was later legitimized in Christian theology by Saint John Chrysostom, one of the prominent 4th-century Church Fathers.

In the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) between 1962 and 1965, the Roman Catholic Church under Pope Paul VI issued the document Nostra aetate repudiating the long-standing canard that Jews are collectively guilty for the Crucifixion of Jesus,

...what happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today.

Against the objection of radical traditionalists, the initiative was distantly followed up by an "apology" in March 2000 for the almost 2,000 years of Catholic persecution of Jews, amid claims of the Second Temple menorah still being hidden in the Vatican.

Radical Traditionalist Catholics – nicknamed rad trads – who oppose Christian–Jewish reconciliation have continued promoting Jewish deicide and engaging in anti-Jewish violence alongside non-Catholic extremists. Subreddits r/Catholicism and r/AskAChristian on Reddit are reportedly frequented by rad trads having spread virulent antisemitism for years. According to the SPLC, the rad trads – just as Neo-Nazis – often cite content from the anti-Jewish forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in their propaganda. Notably, the rad trads have peddled:

• Jews are the perpetual enemy of Christ
• Adolf Hitler was the end-product of the Kulturkampf of the Freemason Otto von Bismarck
• Nazism was the result of a 400-year revolution against the Divine Plan to effect man's return to Him via His Catholic Church abetted by Talmudists
• Jews have infiltrated the Catholic Church to induce church doctrine changes for selfish gain
• Catholics cannot trust the Jews
• The Vatican II dialogue with the Jews is a pantomime to destroy Catholic militancy against Judaism

Anti-Defamation League (ADL), another American civil rights group, noted,

Traditionalist Catholics...believe that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic church...continued to incorporate explicit antisemitism into their theology...a paranoid belief in Jewish conspiracies to undermine the church and Western civilization...Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), which is the foremost global Traditionalist Catholic organization...preach that contemporary Jews are responsible for deicide, endorsed the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and claimed that there was a factual basis for the medieval blood libel. One of its bishops, Richard Williamson, is a well-known Holocaust denier.

Nevertheless, the Vatican and many Catholics worldwide are still denying the scale or brutality of the Inquisition, with the victims heavily Jewish. Some Catholics tend to exaggerate Catholics' role in the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust to minimize the Catholic origin of post-antiquity European antisemitism and irredeemable suffering they had inflicted on Jews, while showing a tendency to accuse critics of "anti-Catholic bias" in relevant discussions.

Blood libel

The blood libel accusation's origin dates to the 12th century. The first recorded accusation against Jews was associated with the death of William of Norwich.

Torture and human sacrifice in the blood libel run contrary to Judaism. The Ten Commandments forbid murder. The use of blood in cooking is banned by Kashrut as blood is deemed ritually unclean. (Lev 15) The Bible (Old Testament) and Jewish teachings portray human sacrifice as one of the evils that separated the pagans of Canaan from the Hebrews. (Deut 12:31, 2 Kings 16:3) Jews were prohibited from performed these rituals (Ex 34:15, Lev 20:2, Deut 18:12, Jer 7:31). Ritual cleanliness for priests prohibited even being in the same room with a human corpse (Lev 21:11).

Historian Alexis P. Rubin noted,

Church and secular leaders sharply denounced these defamations...people refused to abandon this myth...Popes, kings and emperors declared that Jews, if for no other reason than their strict dietary laws banning even the smallest drop of blood in meat or poultry, were incapable of the crime. The Christian populace was not impressed.

Among those who refuted the blood libel included Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in 1236:

We pronounce the Jews of the aforementioned place and the rest of the Jews in Germany completely absolved of this imputed crime.

Pope Gregory IX issued in a papal bull on 7 October 1272:

...we order that Jews seized upon such a silly pretext be freed from imprisonment and that they shall not be arrested henceforth on such a miserable pretext, unless – which we do not believe – they be caught in the commission of the crime.

Pope Clement VI said on 26 September 1348,

Jews are not responsible for the Plague.

Another blood libel was recorded in Damascus in 1840:

An Italian monk and his servant disappeared in Damascus. Many Jews in that city were charged with ritual murder and tortured until they confessed.

Blood libel has frequently appeared in the state-sponsored media, TV, books and websites of most Muslim nations.

Nevertheless, a few Arab writers, who happened not to be antisemitic, condemned blood libel. The Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram published articles by Osama Al-Baz, a senior advisor to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, explaining the origins of the blood libel and contending that Arabs and Muslims "had never been" antisemitic.

On the other hand, the blood libel is still promoted by some extreme Christians in America, including the Radical Traditionalist Catholics and ultra-conservative firebrand Candace Owens. Owens claimed in July 2024 that Leo Frank, a Jewish man lynched 101 years ago over false accusations of murdering a young girl,

believed in pedophilia and incest...as the sacramental rites and they would commit these acts, things that would normally be termed blood libel were actually happening.

Host desecration

In medieval Europe, Jews were often accused of "stealing" communion hosts and "desecrating" them to "reenact" the crucifixion of Jesus by "stabbing" or "burning" the host. Such accusations were entirely baseless and malicious.

The first accusation of Jewish host desecration was made recorded in 1243 in Beelitz, near Berlin, and all Jews in Beelitz were burned alive, subsequently called the Judenberg, though historian Jeremy Cohen said that the first accusation occurred in 1290 in Paris. Cohen furthered:

The story exerted its influence even in the absence of Jews ... Edward I of England expelled the Jews from his kingdom in 1290, and they would not reappear in Britain until the late 1650s. Yet the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries saw the proliferation of the Host-desecration story in England: in collections of miracle stories, many of them dedicated to the miracles of the Virgin Mary; in the art of illuminated manuscripts used for Christian prayer and meditation; and on stage, as in popular Croxton Play of the Sacrament, which itself evoked memories of an alleged ritual murder committed by Jews in East Anglia in 1191.

In the following centuries, similar libels circulated throughout Europe, often accompanied by genocidal massacres, which did not reportedly fade away until Sigismund II Augustus repudiated it in 1558. However, massacres resulted from host desecration libels happened until the 19th century. In 1761, several Jews from Alsace were executed for alleged host desecration. The last recorded accusations were brought up in Barlad, Romania, in 1836 and 1867 respectively.

Accusations of anti-Christian conspiracy

For centuries, Christian antisemites have alleged that Jews either dislike Christianity or seek to "destroy" it. The prominent religious reformer Martin Luther wrote a 65,000-word treatise that espoused such libel, which is still being promoted. For instance, radio host James Edwards alleged that the Jews "hate Christianity" and "the WASP establishment", furthering that Jews "are using pornography as a subversive tool against us".

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) noted,

This is not to say that Jews have historically borne no animus (hostility) towards Jesus and the Apostles, or towards Christianity as a whole. In the two-thousand year relationship between Judaism and Christianity, many of them marred by anti-Jewish polemic and Christian persecution of Jews, some rabbis have fulminated against the church, and in some places Jews developed a folk literature that demeaned Christianity. But contemporary anti-Semitic polemicists are not interested in learning or reporting about the historical development of Jewish-Christian relations. Their goal is to incite hatred against Judaism and Jews by portraying them as bigoted and hateful.

Demonization in Christianity

As early as the 4th century, Church Father Saint John Chrysostom demonized Jews by describing a synagogue as

worse than a brothel and a drinking shop...a den of scoundrels, the repair of wild beasts, a temple of demons, the refuge of brigands and debauchees, and the cavern of devils, a criminal assembly of the assassins of Christ.

Saint John Chrysostom's homilies against Jews were legitimized in Christian theology and ultimately used by the Nazis in WWII to garner Christian support for the Holocaust.

On the other hand, historian Jeremy Cohen wrote,

Yet the very impulse that propelled the Christian imagination from the Jew as a deliberate killer of Christ to the Jew as a perpetrator of the most heinous crimes against humanity also led to the portrayal of the Jew as inhuman, satanic, animal-like, and monstrous...Popular traditions of the later Middle Ages, for example, characterize Jews as having a distinctive foul odor...By all accounts, the bestiality of the Jew climaxed in the image of the Judensau.

Judensau (German for Jews' sow) is a dehumanizing imagery of Jews that appeared around the 13th century. Its popularity reportedly lasted for six centuries before being revived by the Nazis. Sculptures of Jews, typically portrayed as "obscene human contact" with unclean animals such as pigs and owls, were often found on cathedral or church ceilings, pillars, utensils, etchings etc.

The images always combined multiple antisemitic motifs. They could also include derisive prose or poetry. Cohen continued,

Dozens of Judensaus...intersect with the portrayal of the Jew as a Christ killer. Various illustrations of the murder of Simon of Trent blended images of Judensau, the devil...and the Crucifixion. In a seventeenth-century engraving from Frankfurt...a well-dressed, very contemporary-looking Jew has mounted the sow backward and holds her tail, while a second Jew sucks at her milk and a third eats her feces. The horned devil, himself wearing a Jewish badge, looks on and the butchered Simon, splayed as if on a cross...

Martin Luther, pioneer of the 16th-century Reformation and one of the most crucial figures in history, was noted for his vicious antisemitism. Luther wrote a 65,000-word thesis demonizing the Jews. In Luther's thesis, not only did he describe Jews as

a base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth...full of the devil's feces...which they wallow in like Jewish swine......incorrigible whore and an evil slut,

but also called for the elimination of Jews by

1. burning down Jewish synagogues and schools and warn people against them
2. refusing to let Jews own houses among Christians
3. taking away Jewish religious writings
4. forbidding rabbis from preaching
5. offering no protection to Jews on highways
6. giving young, strong Jews flail, axe, spade, and spindle
7. letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow

Martin Luther was elevated to an unprecedented status in the Nazi era, with the Nazi Party's mouthpiece Der Stürmer touting him as "one of the greatest anti-Semites in German history." It is claimed that Luther's antisemitic thesis is widely considered by Western scholars to have brought about the Holocaust, despite the 400-year lapse. Since then, the book has reportedly been denounced by several Lutheran churches. Whereas, Martin Luther remains a divisive figure among churches due to systemic antisemitism, with some churches downplaying his impact on German antisemitism that ultimately contributed to the Holocaust.

Demonization in other religions or movements

Beyond Abrahamic religions, demonization of Jews is also common among new religious movements, one of which is the "Black Hebrew Israelites". Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) believe that African Americans are descendants of ancient Israelites. However, the BHU are not associated with either mainstream Judaism or Christianity. Just as the movement of Messianic Judaism founded by Conservative Baptist Association's Evangelical Christian priest Moishe Rosen, the BHI do not meet any criteria for being considered Jewish.

Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) have seen themselves as the only "real Jews". They deny the Jewish ancestry and historical connection to Israel of contemporary Jews in a similar manner to some Islamists and anti-Zionists. BHI have accused contemporary Jews of being "European converts to Judaism" and running the Atlantic slave trade, thereby smearing contemporary Jews as a group of "White oppressors" devoid of history, culture or virtues, which is also a trope commonly used by radical backers of the Palestinian side in debates over the Gaza War.

The BHI were classified as a hate group by at least two American civil rights groups, the ADL and SPLC. The ADL noted,

Some, but not all, are outspoken anti-Semites and racists.

On the other hand, political observer Ralph Lenoard further analyzed the BHI,

Black Hebrew Israelism is an ideology which holds that all the original Jews of the Bible were black...Jews, then...are white interlopers who have stolen and distorted an 'African religion'...obviously a racist cult...their mantra that 'black people are the real Jews' has permeated into some sectors of African-American consciousness, given that big-time celebrities like West, Irving, and DeSean Jackson and Nick Cannon...amplified some of these views...this blatant anti-Semitism — is a kind of 'Jew envy'...

Such BHI-espoused antisemitic tropes have been popularized to demonize and incite racial aggression on Jews under the guise of anti-imperialism via subtle association of Jews with White supremacy. Sects of the BHI that have been propagating antisemitism include but not limited to the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge (ISUPK), Sicarii Hebrew Israelites, House of Israel (HOI), Nation of Yahweh (NOY), True Nation Israelite Congregation (or True Nation) and Israelites Saints of Christ and The Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ (ICGJC).

The ADL summarized the commonly used BHI slurs, including but not limited to:

• Jew-ish: Negative term for mainstream Jews and used to depict them as imposters
• "So-Called": Draw doubt to identity labels. Jews are referred to as so called Jews, and members subscribed to BHI ideology so called Blacks, Hispanics and Native Indians, to highlight aspects of stolen and forced identity
• Synagogue of Satan: Antisemitic term used by groups to express their dislike of Jews and refer to their ostensible nefarious actions

Alongside the pre-existing anti-Jewish KKK, Neo-Nazis, Islamists and far-left "anti-Zionists", the BHI have committed countless acts of terrorism against Jews since the 1970s, the most recent of which include but not limited to the Jersey City Shooting (7 dead and 3 injured) and Monsey Hanukkah stabbing (1 dead and 4 injured).

Just as Louis Farrakhan's ideology, BHI ideology has gained traction among Black Americans discontented with systemic racism, which has caused many of them hardship and a rise in racial tension. The BHI, to some extent, managed to desensitize the public to their anti-Jewish terrorism by appropriating Jewish symbols – creating a false sense of "internecine conflict" – and misusing their historically oppressed status to gain sympathy from anti-racist intellectuals.

The Unification Church (UC), founded by South Korean religious leader and messiah claimant Sun Myung Moon in 1954, was criticized for demonizing Jews in its manifesto Divine Principle. A multi-faith panel that included Rabbi A. James Rudin – assistant director of the American Jewish Committee's department of interreligious affairs – said that the manifesto contained 125 antisemitic references, including a claim that Jews had collective responsibility for the crucifixion of Christ. Rudin argued that UC's manifesto included a series of "pejorative language, stereotyped imagery, accusations of collective sin and guilt", including its claim that "Jews had gone through a course of indemnity" due to John the Baptist's "failure to recognize Jesus as the Messiah". Rudin also said that the UC's text claimed that the Holocaust was a "divine punishment" for the crucifixion.

The UC rejected AJC's criticisms as a "distortion" and as being "obscurations". Despite the UC's claims, Sun Myung Moon held an interfaith march with Louis Farrakhan.

Male menstruation

The false belief of Jewish male anal menstruation emerged in the 16th century, which formed part of the canard that all Jews were somehow female. The false belief was allegedly based on scripture associating Jews with bleeding, particularly the description of Judas' death in Acts 1:18–19, where his belly was allegedly burst open, which inspired further accounts of heretics having their blood or entrails spilled via the anus at death. This was linked in the twelfth century with the so-called "blood curse" invoked by the Jews at Jesus' trial before Pilate (Matt 27:25). In the following century, a pseudoscientific explanation, based on humoral medicine, was added, supplemented by a verse from the Psalms:

And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts.

– Psalms 78:66

By 1302, it was claimed that Jewish male descendants of those having taken "responsibility" for the Crucifixion would suffer a monthly bleeding. A 1503 account of the 1494 ritual murder trials at Tyrnau consisted of the earliest mention of the alleged monthly male bleeding. In 17th-century Spain, the notion was revived by physicians, including the king's, conflating menstruation with hemorrhoids, which contributed to the "legal concept" of "impure blood" in a family or race.

Well poisoning

During the mid-14th century Black Death, crowded cities were hard hit, with death tolls as high as 50%. Emotionally distraught survivors scapegoated Jews opportunistically. Such accusation later became an antisemitic trope, which evolved into the one fabricated by Joseph Stalin as the doctors' plot in the early 1950s, then the charges of Jews "spreading" largely incurable diseases like the AIDS in the late 20th century.

Soon after the Black Death's entry to Europe in 1346, a massacres of Jews broke out between 1348 and 1351 based on false charges of Jews "spreading" the epidemic. The first massacres happened in Toulon in 1348, where the Jewish quarter was sacked and 40 Jews murdered, then in Barcelona. In 1349, massacres and persecution spread across Europe, including the Erfurt massacre (1349), the Basel Massacre, and massacres in Aragon and Flanders. 2,000 Jews were also burned alive in the Strasbourg massacre on 14 February 1349 by antisemites who justified the massacre as a "preventive measure".

Other tropes

Causing wars, revolutions and calamities

German politician Heinrich von Treitschke in the 19th century coined the phrase "Die Juden sind unser Unglück!" ("The Jews are our misfortune!") adopted as a motto by Der Stürmer several decades later.

Efraim Karsh noted,

Jews have traditionally been accused of lacking true patriotism to their countries of citizenship, and instead seeking to embroil their non-Jewish compatriots in endless conflicts and wars on behalf of such cosmopolitan movements and ideals as 'world imperialism', 'international bolshevism', or 'world Zionism'.

Both ends of the political spectrum have accused American Jews of "dragging" the country into World War II and the Iraq War, exaggerating the influence of an alleged Israel lobby, the idea of which was promoted by political scientist John Mearsheimer in a 2007 book , which was criticized for legitimizing the trope of "Jewish domination" and stoking up antisemitic violence. In the UK, a civil service group was suspended in March 2024 over the use of the term in a webinar.

The Franklin Prophecy was unknown before its appearance in 1934 in the pages of William Dudley Pelley's pro-Nazi weekly American magazine Liberation. According to the US Congress report, Anti-Semitism in Europe: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on European Affairs of the Committee on Foreign Relations (2004):

The Franklin "Prophecy" is a classic anti-Semitic canard that falsely claims that American statesman Benjamin Franklin made anti-Jewish statements during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It has found widening acceptance in Muslim and Arab media, where it has been used to criticize Israel and Jews ...

Turning people into LGBT

In 2016, Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) highlighted a video in which a Kuwaiti Salafi preacher claimed that SpongeBob SquarePants and other children's cartoons were created by Jews in order to promote homosexuality, atheism, Satanism, and the emo movement.

In 2018, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan claimed that Jews are "turning men into women and women into men" and using a specially concocted strain of marijuana which is designed to make Black men gay and effeminate.

In 2020, conspiracy theorist Rick Wiles, through his disinformation site TruNews, endorsed a claim by self-identified "Messianic Jews" Steve and Jana Ben-Nun that "Zionists" seek to "make all of humanity androgynous" in accordance with the Kabbalistic concept of Adam Kadmon. The alleged plot supposedly involves "Zionists" supporting transgender rights, as well as actually making people LGBT by "putting specific things in food, in drink".

Controlling the weather and causing natural disasters

On March 16, 2018, Council of the District of Columbia member Trayon White posted a video on his Facebook page showing snow flurries falling, alluding to the conspiracy theory of the Rothschild family conspiring to manipulate the weather. In his post, he stated, "Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation ... And that's a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful." The comment was widely reported in Washington and worldwide media as an endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory. The Washington City Paper reported on March 19 that this was not the first time White alluded to a Jewish conspiracy to control global weather.

The idea that Jews use space lasers to manipulate the weather, or cause natural disasters, also dates back to 2018, when U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested that the Camp Fire wildfires in Butte County, California were caused by lasers emitted from "space solar generators" in a scheme involving companies such as Rothschild & Co and Solaren. Despite Greene denying antisemitic intent in this theory, supporters of Greene quickly blamed the wildfires on Jews. Greene was condemned by the Republican Jewish Coalition, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and Christians United for Israel. Journalist and author Mike Rothschild, who is unrelated to the Rothschilds, also condemned these statements.

Provoking or fabricating antisemitism

During a speech at the Reichstag on 30 January 1939, Adolf Hitler claimed that international Jewish financiers were seeking to start a world war, but that this would be turned against them in an "annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe", for which the Jews would be fully to blame.

In 2002, the Hamas leader Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi said, "People always talk about what the Germans did to the Jews, but the true question is, 'What did the Jews do to the Germans?'" Gilad Atzmon stated, "Jewish texts tend to glaze over the fact that Hitler's 28 March 1933, ordering a boycott against Jewish stores and goods, was an escalation in direct response to the declaration of war on Germany by the worldwide Jewish leadership."

In January 2005, 19 members of the Russian State Duma demanded that Judaism and Jewish organizations be banned in Russia. "Their seven-page letter ... accused Jews of carrying out ritual killings, controlling Russian and international capital, inciting ethnic strife in Russia, and staging hate crimes against themselves. 'The majority of antisemitic actions in the whole world are constantly carried out by Jews themselves with a goal of provocation', the letter claimed. After sharp protests by Russian Jewish leaders, including Russia's Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar, human rights activists, and the Russian Foreign Ministry, the Duma members retracted their appeal."

Dual loyalty

A trope found in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, but originating long before that document, is that Jews are more loyal to world Jewry than to their own country. Since the establishment of the state of Israel, this has developed into claims that Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their country of residence and citizenship. Ilhan Omar, a progressive U.S. House representative from Minnesota, made a speech in March 2019 allegedly suggesting that American Jews held dual loyalty to Israel, which drew criticism. David Duke, the former KKK Grand Wizard, praised Ilhan Omar's speech.

Cowardice and lack of patriotism

With the rise of racist theories in the 19th century, "nother old anti-Semitic canard served to underline the putative 'femininity' of the Jewish race. Like women, Jews lacked an 'essence'". In Genocide and Gross Human Rights Violations, Kurt Jonassohn and Karin S. Björnson wrote:

Historically, Jews were not allowed to bear arms in most of the countries of the diaspora. Therefore, when they were attacked, they were not able to defend themselves. In some situations, their protector would defend them. If not, they only had a choice between hiding and fleeing. This is the origin of the anti-Semitic canard that Jews are cowards.

Jews were frequently accused of being insufficiently patriotic. In late 19th-century France, a political scandal known as the Dreyfus affair involved the wrongful conviction for treason of a young Jewish French officer. The political and judicial scandal ended with his full rehabilitation.

During World War I, the German Military High Command implemented the Judenzählung (German for "Jewish Census"), which was designed to "confirm" allegations of the "lack of patriotism" among German Jews, but the results of the census disproved the accusations and were not made public. After the end of the war, the stab-in-the-back myth alleged that internal enemies, including Jews, were responsible for Germany's defeat.

In Stalin's Soviet Union, the statewide campaign against "rootless cosmopolitans" – a Soviet euphemism for Jews – was set out on 28 January 1949 with an article in the party's official newspaper Pravda:

unbridled, evil-minded cosmopolitans, profiteers with no roots and no conscience ... Grown on rotten yeast of bourgeois cosmopolitanism, decadence and formalism ... non-indigenous nationals without a motherland, who poison with stench ... our proletarian culture.

Such propaganda was followed by state campaigns of persecution until Stalin's death in 1953, which involved mass termination of Soviet Jewish doctors and liquidation of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee based on false charges of treason, espionage and association with Zionism. The anniversary of the murders was commemorated by Soviet Jewry Movement's activists from the 1960s until the end of the Soviet Union.

In 1968, the Soviet-controlled Polish communist regime exploited pre-existing antisemitism to promote similar claims, equating Jewish origins with "Zionist sympathies" and "disloyalty", to blame Polish Jews for the anti-regime mass protests that had happened. A nationwide purge of Polish Jews – most of whom were Holocaust survivors – ensued. The purge caused the exodus of 5,000-10,000 Polish Jews – around 20-33% of those remaining at the time. An official apology was made by the democratic Polish government in March 2018.

Despite such historical precedents, a significant number of left-wing "anti-Zionists" in Western countries have reportedly not shown sufficient willingness to acknowledge the close correlation between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.

Ethnocentrism

A number of books and websites which are run by Neo-Nazis, advocates of white supremacy, adherents of Christian Identity, radical Islamist and progressive groups contain quotes which they claim are authoritative quotes from rabbinic literature, all in an attempt to prove their belief that Judaism is a racist religion which teaches its adherents to hate non-Jews by espousing the belief that they are not even human.

According to Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik,

Even as the Jew is moved by his private Sinaitic Covenant with God to embody and preserve the teachings of the Torah, he is committed to the belief that all mankind, of whatever color or creed, is "in His image" and is possessed of an inherent human dignity and worthiness. Man's singularity is derived from the breath "He breathed into his nostrils at the moment of creation" (Genesis 2:7). Thus, we do share in the universal historical experience, and God's providential concern does embrace all of humanity.

According to the record of a 1984 hearing before the Subcommittee on Human Rights and International Organizations in the US Congress concerning Soviet Jewry,

This vicious anti-Semitic canard, frequently repeated by other Soviet writers and officials, is based upon the malicious notion that the "Chosen People" of the Torah and Talmud preaches "superiority over other peoples", as well as exclusivity. This was, of course, the principal theme of the notorious Tsarist Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Fabricating or exaggerating the Holocaust

Holocaust denial consists of claims that the genocide of Jews during World War II – usually referred to as the Holocaust – did not occur at all, or it did not happen in the manner or to the extent which is historically recognized. Key elements of these claims are the rejection of the following facts:

• The Nazi regime had a policy of deliberately targeting Jews for extermination as a people
• At least six million Jews were systematically killed by the Nazis and their allies
• Genocide was carried out at extermination camps using tools of mass murder, such as gas chambers.

Most Holocaust denial claims imply, or openly state, that the Holocaust is a hoax committed out of a deliberate Jewish conspiracy to advance the "Jewish interests" at the expense of other peoples, For this reason, Holocaust denial is generally considered to be an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Holocaust deniers are criticized for ignoring extensive evidence pointing to the contrary of their biased presuppositions, with some of them referring to it as the "Holohoax" in far-right online spaces.

Holocaust deniers include the late Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, late French professor Robert Faurisson, French teacher Vincent Reynouard, British author David Irving and Germar Rudolf, convicted in Germany for it.

In 2010, a poll found that 56% of citizens in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and the UAE believed that the Jews "deserved the Holocaust", most of whom were found to believe that

• A Jewish propaganda machine had promoted the Holocaust myth to extract huge sums of money from Germany and justify the founding of the state of Israel
• The Jewish victims died of natural causes or were sentenced to death for criminal reasons
• The Allied Powers deliberately inflated the number of Jews killed during the war

In 2014, another global survey found that almost half of the world did not know that the Holocaust ever happened. In that year, Mohammed Dajani, a Palestinian professor of the Al-Quds University took his students to visit the Auschwitz concentration camps in Poland, but was later forced to resign due to accusations of promoting "Zionist narrative to gain international support for Israel". Still, he justified Holocaust education as necessary for peace,

Holocaust denial and distortion are historically incorrect, and factually wrong, and constitute a significant threat to morality and human dignity...

Holocaust inversion

Whereas, "he main motif in Arab cartoons about Israel features 'the devilish Jew'" and "he core anti-Semitic motif of the Jew as the paradigm of an "absolute evil" has a set of submotifs. These, in turn, recur over the centuries but are differently cloaked according to the predominant narrative of the period." The said demonization of Jews associated with Israel is strongly correlated with Holocaust inversion. Holocaust inversion presents itself as an inversion of reality where Jews, as the primary victims of the Holocaust, are depicted as the primary perpetrators, to the effect of whitewashing the perpetrators' war crimes while erasing Jews' historical victimhood. In addition, Holocaust inversion is a form of Holocaust trivialization. According to the World Jewish Congress, Holocaust inversion often comes in such forms:

• Portraying Jews as Nazis
• Comparing Israeli prime ministers to Hitler and portraying the Star of David as equal to the swastika
• Images showing Anne Frank wearing a kaffiyeh
• Comparing the Nakba to the Holocaust
• Comparing the Gaza Strip to Jewish ghettos during the Holocaust

The French intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy also remarked,

a mass movement demanding the deaths of Jews will be unlikely to yell "Money Jews" or "They Killed Christ."...in order for such a movement to emerge, for people to feel once again the desire and, above all, the right to burn all the synagogues they want, to attack boys wearing yarmulkes, to harass large number of rabbis… an entirely new discourse way of justifying it must emerge.

Terms like Zio, Zio-Nazi and even Zionist can be used deceptively by antisemites to air their prejudices against Jews while maintaining plausible deniability. David Duke, the former KKK's Grand Wizard, reportedly invented Zio as a slur against Jews by exploiting the fact that Zionism holds such widespread appeal among contemporary Jews that it has become an integral part of many of their identity, especially in the United States and United Kingdom with which Israel is allied. Renowned Holocaust historian Yehuda Bauer classified "Zio-Nazi" as hate speech. The Meta recently announced that these terms would be subject to restrictions on Facebook and Instagram. Having said that, it is notable that Cold War communist regimes, including the Soviet Union and its puppet state in Poland, had an often neglected history of persecuting their Jewish subjects under the guise of "anti-Zionism".

Controlling the Atlantic slave trade

Exploiting the pre-existing racial tension between Black and Jewish Americans, antisemites have exaggerated Jews' role in the Atlantic slave trade to demonize them in the eyes of Black Americans. It is the central tenet of the American Islamist hate group Nation of Islam (NOI), led by Louis Farrakhan, that Jews "orchestrated" the Atlantic slave trade. As of 25 September 2024, the NOI-published book that promoted the said rumour is still being sold on the platform Black History Books UK, while a "verified" YouTube channel promoting Louis Farrakhan's antisemitic ideas has accumulated over 507,000 subscribers and 45,002,712 views.

A number of historians, including Saul S. Friedman, conducted research into the matter. Friedman published the book Jews and the American Slave Trade to summarise his findings, concluding that Jewish involvement in the Atlantic slave trade was negligible, thereby disproving the rumour. Also, in 1995, the American Historical Association (AHA) explicitly condemned "any statement alleging that Jews played a disproportionate role in the Atlantic slave trade".

Organ harvesting

Palestinians

In August 2009, an article in the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet accused Israeli troops of harvesting organs from Palestinians who died in their custody. Henrik Bredberg wrote in the rival newspaper Sydsvenskan: "Donald Boström publicized a variant of an anti-Semitic classic, the Jew who abducts children and steals their blood." In a video on their website, Time magazine quoted the 2009 Swedish Aftonbladet's unbacked variant of the classic antisemitic blood libel accusation as fact and retracted the allegations that Israeli soldiers had harvested and sold Palestinian organs in 2009 within hours on 24 August 2014 after a denouncing report from HonestReporting came out.

In December 2009, Israel's Channel 2 published an interview with Yehuda Hiss, the former chief pathologist at L. Greenberg Institute of Forensic Medicine, where he said that workers at the forensic institute had taken skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from deceased Israelis, Palestinians and foreign workers without permission during the 1990s. Hiss was dismissed as head of Abu Kabir in 2004 after discovery of the use of organs. Israeli officials acknowledged that isolated incidents had taken place, but the vast majority of cases involved Israeli citizens and no such incidents had occurred for a protracted period, while Hiss had already been removed from his position. In a state inquiry report, they also found “no evidence that Hiss targeted Palestinians...The families of dead Israeli soldiers were among those who complained about Hiss's conduct.” Despite this, similar accusations have continued to be recycled and propagated by different members of society, including the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

Haiti

In the immediate aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Israel sent 120 staff, doctors and troops of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to Port-au-Prince. The IDF set up a field hospital that performed 316 surgeries and delivered 16 babies.

On 18 January, an American "activist" called T. West posted a YouTube video calling on Haitians to be wary of "personalities who are out for money", which he referred to as the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). To explain his allegations, West stated that in the past "the IDF participated in stealing organ transplants of Palestinians and others", thus echoing the Aftonbladet Israel controversy. West, who claimed to speak for a black-empowerment group called AfriSynergy Productions, stopped short of making more explicit accusations against the IDF's behaviour in Haiti but he noted that there was "little monitoring" of it in the quake's aftermath, insinuating that organ theft was at the very least a strong possibility. The Iranian state TV Press TV promoted the allegations. In a speech on 22 January, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami said "There have been news reports that the Zionist regime, in the case of the catastrophe of Haiti, and under the pretext of providing relief to the people of Haiti, is stealing the organs of these wretched people", again without citing any evidence. On 27 January, a Syrian TV reporter described T. West's video as "document this heinous crime and ... show Israelis engaged in stealing organs from the earthquake victims" (despite the fact that the video quite evidently does no such thing).

On 1 February 2010, Gaza-based outlet The Palestine Telegraph accused the IDF of harvesting organs in Haiti for sale based on the said YouTube video by T. West whose material was re-used from Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV. In the United Kingdom, Baroness Jenny Tonge was removed from her role as Liberal Democrat health spokeswoman as a result of an interview in which she suggested that an independent inquiry should be established.

Israeli media and Jewish groups immediately fought back against the claims. In an interview with Ynetnews, West re-iterated his accusation about past incidents of organ theft by the IDF and cited Operation Bid Rig as further evidence of Jewish involvement in organ trafficking. The Anti-Defamation League responded, labeling West's allegations as an antisemitic "Big Lie", while an author for the Jewish Ledger referred to the rumors as a renewed "blood libel".

9/11 conspiracy theories

Some conspiracy theories hold that Jews or Israel played a key role in carrying out the September 11 attacks. According to a paper published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), "anti-Semitic conspiracy theories have not been accepted in mainstream circles in the U.S.", but "this is not the case in the Arab and Muslim world". A claim that 4,000 Jewish employees skipped work at the WTC on 11 September has been widely reported and widely debunked. The number of Jews who died in the attacks – typically estimated at 400 – tracks closely with the proportion of Jews living in the New York area. Five Israelis died in the attack.

In 2003, the ADL published a report which attacked "hateful conspiracy theories" that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by Israelis and Jews, saying that they had the potential to "rationalize and fuel global anti-Semitism". The ADL's report found that "The Big lie has united American far-right extremists and white supremacists and elements within the Arab and Muslim world". It asserted that many of the theories were modern manifestations of the 19th century Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which purported to map out a Jewish conspiracy for world domination. The ADL has characterized the Jeff Rense website as carrying antisemitic materials, such as "American Jews staged the 9/11 terrorist attacks for their own financial gain and to induce the American people to endorse wars of aggression and genocide on the nations of the Middle East and the theft of their resources for the benefit of Israel".

The Black supremacist New Black Panther Party also accuses Jews of masterminding the 9/11 attacks. The accusation has gained traction among anti-Zionist Black Americans, one of them being Jamaal Bowman, a Black American congressman widely backed by pro-BLM American progressives with dominating influence in academia. Bowman was found to have shared videos alleging Jewish orchestration of the 9/11 attacks and regional wars. He later lost his primary reelection bid.

Contradictory accusations

A number of researchers noted the contradictions and irrationality in antisemitic myths. Leon Pinsker noted as early as 1882:

Friend and foe alike have tried to explain or to justify this hatred of the Jews by bringing all sorts of charges against them. They are said to have crucified Jesus, to have drunk the blood of Christians, to have poisoned wells, to have taken usury, to have exploited the peasant, and so on. These and a thousand and one other charges against an entire people have been proved groundless. They showed their own weakness in that they had to be trumped up wholesale in order to quiet the evil conscience of the Jew-baiters, to justify the condemnation of an entire nation, to demonstrate the necessity of burning the Jew, or rather the Jewish ghost, at the stake. He who tries to prove too much proves nothing at all. Though the Jews may justly be charged with many shortcomings, those shortcomings are, at all events, not such great vices, not such capital crimes, as to justify the condemnation of the entire people.

In her 2003 book The Holocaust and Antisemitism: A Short History, Jocelyn Hellig wrote:

Michael Curtis has pointed out the many directly contradictory accusations, claiming that Jews are simultaneiously:

• alienated from society but also cosmopolitans
• isolationed but also intermingled among other peoples
• individualist but also communal
• capitalist exploiters and international financiers but also revolutionary Marxists
• materialistic but also people of the Book
• militant aggressors but also cowardly pacifists
• arrogant but also timid
• superstitious but also promoters of secularism
• upholders of rigid law but also morally decadent
• a chosen people but also an inferior race
• crucifiers of Christ but also inventors of Christianity

Curtis stated:

no single group of people could feasibly have such a total monopoly on evil.

Gustavo Perednik wrote in Judeophobia:

The Jews were accused by the nationalists of being the creators of Communism; by the Communists of ruling Capitalism. If they live in non-Jewish countries, they are accused of double-loyalties; if they live in the Jewish country, of being racists. When they spend their money, they are reproached for being ostentatious; when they don't spend their money, of being avaricious. They are called rootless cosmopolitans or hardened chauvinists. If they assimilate, they are accused of being fifth-columnists, if they don't, of shutting themselves away.

Comments about tropes

According to defense attorney Kenneth Stern, "Historically, Jews have not fared well around conspiracy theories. Such ideas fuel anti-Semitism. The myths that all Jews are responsible for the death of Christ, or poisoned wells, or killed Christian children to bake matzos, or 'made up' the Holocaust, or plot to control the world, do not succeed each other; rather, the list of anti-Semitic canards gets longer." Hannah Arendt, in analyzing antisemitism in the first part of The Origins of Totalitarianism, shared a joke:

An antisemite claimed that the Jews had caused the war; the reply was: Yes, the Jews and the bicyclists. Why the bicyclists? asked the one; the other replied: Why the Jews?

     Simmons, Shraga (6 March 2004). "Why Jews Don't Believe In Jesus". Aish.com. Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah because:

     1. Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies.
     2. Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah.
     3. Biblical verses "referring" to Jesus are mistranslations.
     4. Jewish belief is based on national revelation.

Hebrew Christian, Jewish Christian, Jew for Jesus, Messianic Jew, Fulfilled Jew. The name may have changed over the course of time, but all of the names reflect the same phenomenon: one who asserts that s/he is straddling the theological fence between Judaism and Christianity, but in truth is firmly on the Christian side ... we must affirm as did the Israeli Supreme Court in the well-known Brother Daniel case that to adopt Christianity is to have crossed the line out of the Jewish community.

Missionary Impossible, an imaginative video and curriculum guide for teachers, educators, and rabbis to teach Jewish youth how to recognize and respond to "Jews-for-Jesus", "Messianic Jews", and other Christian proselytizers, has been produced by six rabbinic students at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion's Cincinnati School. The students created the video as a tool for teaching why Jewish college and high school youth and Jews in intermarried couples are primary targets of Christian missionaries.

     Glazier, James Scott (6 September 2012). "What are the main differences between a Jew and a Christian?". ReformJudaism.org. Retrieved 2 April 2019.

ALEPH has a policy of respect for other spiritual traditions, but objects to deceptive practices and will not collaborate with denominations which actively target Jews for recruitment.

One of the more alarming trends in antisemitic activity in Canada in 1998 was the growing number of incidents involving messianic organizations posing as "synagogues". These missionizing organizations are in fact evangelical Christian proselytizing groups, whose purpose is specifically to target members of the Jewish community for conversion. They fraudulently represent themselves as Jews, and these so-called synagogues are elaborately disguised Christian churches.

Niewyk, The Columbia Guide to the Holocaust, Columbia University Press, 2000, p. 45: "The Holocaust is commonly defined as the murder of more than 5,000,000 Jews by the Germans in World War II." Estimates by scholars range from 5.1 million to 7.8 million. See the appropriate section of the Holocaust article.
277. Key elements of Holocaust denial:
     • "Before discussing how Holocaust denial constitutes a conspiracy theory, and how the theory is distinctly American, it is important to understand what is meant by the term 'Holocaust denial'. Holocaust deniers, or 'revisionists', as they call themselves, question all three major points of definition of the Nazi Holocaust. First, they contend that, while mass murders of Jews did occur (although they dispute both the intentionality of such murders as well as the supposed deservedness of these killings), there was no official Nazi policy to murder Jews. Second, and perhaps most prominently, they contend that there were no homicidal gas chambers, particularly at Auschwitz-Birkenau, where mainstream historians believe over 1 million Jews were murdered, primarily in gas chambers. And third, Holocaust deniers contend that the death toll of European Jews during World War II was well below 6 million. Deniers float numbers anywhere between 300,000 and 1.5 million, as a general rule." Mathis, Andrew E.

     • "In part III we directly address the three major foundations upon which Holocaust denial rests, including ... the claim that gas chambers and crematoria were used not for mass extermination but rather for delousing clothing and disposing of people who died of disease and overwork; ... the claim that the six million figure is an exaggeration by an order of magnitude—that about six hundred thousand, not six million, died at the hands of the Nazis; ... the claim that there was no intention on the part of the Nazis to exterminate European Jewry and that the Holocaust was nothing more than the unfortunate by-product of the vicissitudes of war."

278. A hoax designed to advance the interests of Jews:
     • "The title of App's major work on the Holocaust, The Six Million Swindle, is informative because it implies on its very own the existence of a conspiracy of Jews to perpetrate a hoax against non-Jews for monetary gain."

     • "Jews are thus depicted as manipulative and powerful conspirators who have fabricated myths of their own suffering for their own ends. According to the Holocaust deniers, by forging evidence and mounting a massive propaganda effort, the Jews have established their lies as 'truth' and reaped enormous rewards from doing so: for example, in making financial claims on Germany and acquiring international support for Israel."

     • "Why, we might ask the deniers, if the Holocaust did not happen would any group concoct such a horrific story? Because, some deniers claim, there was a conspiracy by Zionists to exaggerate the plight of Jews during the war in order to finance the state of Israel through war reparations."

     • "The central assertion for the deniers is that Jews are not victims but victimizers. They 'stole' billions in reparations, destroyed Germany's good name by spreading the 'myth' of the Holocaust, and won international sympathy because of what they claimed had been done to them. In the paramount miscarriage of injustice, they used the world's sympathy to 'displace' another people so that the state of Israel could be established. This contention relating to the establishment of Israel is a linchpin of their argument." Deborah Lipstadt. Denying the Holocaust – The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, Penguin, 1993, ISBN 0-452-27274-2, p. 27.
     • "They picture a vast shadowy conspiracy that controls and manipulates the institutions of education, culture, the media and government in order to disseminate a pernicious mythology. The purpose of this Holocaust mythology, they assert, is the inculcation of a sense of guilt in the white, Western Christian world. Those who can make others feel guilty have power over them and can make them do their bidding. This power is used to advance an international Jewish agenda centered in the Zionist enterprise of the State of Israel."

     • "The primary motivation for most deniers is anti-Semitism, and for them the Holocaust is an infuriatingly inconvenient fact of history. After all, the Holocaust has generally been recognized as one of the most terrible crimes that ever took place, and surely the very emblem of evil in the modern age. If that crime was a direct result of anti-Semitism taken to its logical end, then anti-Semitism itself, even when expressed in private conversation, is inevitably discredited among most people. What better way to rehabilitate anti-Semitism, make anti-Semitic arguments seem once again respectable in civilized discourse and even make it acceptable for governments to pursue anti-Semitic policies than by convincing the world that the great crime for which anti-Semitism was blamed simply never happened – indeed, that it was nothing more than a frame-up invented by the Jews, and propagated by them through their control of the media? What better way, in short, to make the world safe again for anti-Semitism than by denying the Holocaust?" Reich, Walter. "Erasing the Holocaust", The New York Times, 11 July 1993.
     • "There is now a creeping, nasty wave of anti-Semitism ... insinuating itself into our political thought and rhetoric ...

According to the 2002 American Jewish Year Book, New York State's population was 9% Jewish. Sixty-four percent of the WTC victims lived in New York State.
