Conspiracy Tropes
Jewish Lobby / Disproportionate Influence / Jewish Power
Claims about a "Jewish lobby" having "disproportionate" influence over US politics, echoing classic dual-loyalty tropes.
The Allegation
In 2017, Farage described a "Jewish lobby" as "disproportionate" in US influence, clarifying but repeating "organised and powerful."
Why This Is Antisemitic
The "Jewish lobby" trope alleges undue influence, rooted in "The Protocols" and Nazi propaganda portraying Jews as disloyal manipulators controlling governments. It evokes dual loyalty, justifying exclusion (e.g., pre-Holocaust pogroms), and fuels modern violence like Pittsburgh shooting.
