DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The United States is occupied by the Zionists, just like Palestine

SUMMARY

Israel’s unshakable position is a constant element in American politics. This confirms that the United States is occupied by the Zionists, just like Palestine is under Zionist occupation.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory. This is a disinformation narrative, spread by several pro-Kremlin outlets, claiming that the US government is secretly controlled by Zionists. The term “Zionist occupation” or “Zionist Occupied Government” (ZOG) is used by anti-Semitic white-supremacist groups to suggest that the US government is controlled by Jews who are joined in an international conspiracy.

Kremlin disinformation often propagates an old anti-Semitic conspiracy theory claiming that the Jewish people are an international cabal secretly controlling the “global élite”.

See here and here for EU vs Disinfo analyses of the spread of anti-Semitic myths by pro-Kremlin outlets.
