(Jewish Group) Blaming Jews for Everything -- and the 'Big Lie' About the Election
Jews are “the father of all wars.” From The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, to Henry Ford’s The International Jew, to right-wing prophet David Ickes (endorsed by novelist Alice Walker), this monstrous lie always reemerges after being debunked by all decent people.
But how do you get from Jews as fomenters of all wars to Jews as masterminds of all defeats? Perhaps it’s the belief among antisemites that their nations’ defeats are attributable to Jews being the chief “enemy within.”
The classic formulation is the “Stab in the Back” legend (Dolchstoßlegende), formulated in Germany during World War I but seized on after the war by the German Army’s High Command. Germany’s top generals blamed their defeat on the “November Criminals”: civilian politicians, many of them Jews, whom the generals maneuvered into signing the surrender terms of November 11, 1918.
This was the “big lie” — and it would be manipulated by Adolf Hitler to help the Nazi Party seize power in 1933.
The US, it is said, almost never suffers from this complex because Americans have rarely lost wars and are less prone to antisemitism. This is not strictly true.
