DISINFO: The Zionist élite allowed thousands of normal and honest Jews to die during WWII

SUMMARY

Zionists are snakes and scorpions but at the same time they pursue their own interests, their goal is profit and money-making. The Zionist élite allowed thousands of normal and honest Jews to die during WWII. It sold its own relatives for economic gain.

RESPONSE

The article repeats anti-Semitic disinformation narratives that have been spread by some pro-Kremlin media outlets. Its suggestion that the “Zionist élite” was complicit in the mass murder of Jews by the Nazi regime is a completely baseless anti-Semitic narrative.

Anti-semitic myths were systematically spread by the Soviet regime both at home and abroad during the Cold War. Among the campaign’s centrepieces were the claim of alleged Zionist-Nazi collaboration during World War II and the alleged collusion of the “Zionist élite” in the mass murder of European Jews by the Nazis. These disinformation themes continue to be relayed by parts of the pro-Kremlin ecosystem today; see here and here for EUvsDisinfo analyses of the spread of anti-Semitic myths by pro-Kremlin outlets.

Read previous cases containing anti-Semitic disinformation claiming that the extermination of all non-Jews seems an ultimate goal of the Jewish religion and that U.S. military leaders in the first half of the 20th century widely believed that the world faced a direct threat from organised Jewry.
