| Antisemitic Lies
There are several common myths or canards about Jews that are used to vilify them and to promote hostility towards them. This antisemitic rhetoric has been developed over more than 2000 years with different justifications for Jew-hatred dominating in different times and places. But all these lies are still told in some places in the the 21st century.
Sometimes individuals may not been aware that they have sub-consciously come to believe in an antisemitic lie.
- Stereotyping: Jews are all rich, money-grasping or dishonest.
- Conspiracy: the claim that Jews run a secret, powerful financial or political empire, sometimes alleged to be recorded in the forged Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. A modern form alleges that Jews control governments through a powerful "Jewish lobby".
- Holocaust Denial: the lie that Hitler and the Nazi machinery were not responsible for the deaths of six million Jews during World War II.
- Deicide or Christ killers: The accusation that Jews killed Christ.
- Blood Libel: the myth that Jewish people use the blood of non-Jewish children in their ritual practices, for example as an ingredient in their unleavened bread baked during Passover.
- Dehumanisation: the claim that Jews are animals, demons or lesser beings.
- Delegitimisation: the claim that Jews and/or Israel do not have the same rights as other peoples. or, paradoxically, that Jews are like another illegitimate group, Nazis.
