# New Hate, Old Story

> Where today's antisemitic posts echo old myths, and what the record shows.

Plain-language guides to old antisemitic myths (blood libel, Holocaust distortion, "they run the world," and more): where they started, how they spread online, and timelines.

## Agent-readable trope guides (Markdown)

- ["Jews Start Wars"](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/agent/tropes/jews-start-wars.md): Blaming Jews for starting wars or dragging nations into them. The war changes; the finger-pointing script does not.
- ["Jews Control the Media, Banks, and Politics"](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/agent/tropes/jews-control.md): The story that Jews secretly run money, news, and politics. The targets change with the news; the hidden-hand idea does not.
- [Blood Libel](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/agent/tropes/blood-libel.md): The lie that Jews murder children for rituals. It began in medieval Europe and still shows up in memes, posts, and political talk.
- ["The Talmud Teaches Hatred of Non-Jews"](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/agent/tropes/talmud-claims.md): The Talmud is Judaism's huge library of rabbinic debate and religious law (not one simple rulebook). Viral posts claim it orders Jews to hate outsiders; the quotes are usually wrong, ripped from an argument, or not in the book at all.
- [Dual Loyalty and "Zionist" as a Proxy for Jews](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/agent/tropes/dual-loyalty.md): The claim that Jews are not really loyal to the country they live in, or that "Zionist" is just a coded word for Jew. Old suspicion, new packaging.
- [Holocaust Inversion and Distortion](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/agent/tropes/holocaust-inversion.md): Saying Jews "use" the Holocaust for politics, or calling them "the real Nazis," twists genocide history against the people it targeted. That pattern started almost as soon as the war ended.

## Articles (HTML)

- [They do not have to say “Jews”: how proxy language rebuilds antisemitism](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/they-dont-have-to-say-jews-proxy-language): How “globalist,” “Zionist,” Soros, and “the lobby” can carry old accusations of Jewish control, disloyalty, and social corruption without using the word Jew.
- [New words, old accusations: Mamdani and the politics of Jewish power](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/mamdani-politics-jewish-power): Criticizing AIPAC is legitimate. Mamdani's AIPAC formulation was antisemitic rhetoric, and his first defense of "globalize the intifada" failed Jewish New Yorkers. The evidence, the historical pattern, and the verdict.
- [Did the U.S. go to war with Iran "because of Israel"? The shortcut that turns policy criticism into an old story](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/israel-netanyahu-iran-war-claim): Netanyahu lobbied Trump. Other allies, advisers, and U.S. officials shaped the decision too. Why the viral "Israel made us do it" story is not analysis, and how it echoes older antisemitic war myths.
- [No, Israel is not the reason antisemitism exists](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/israel-causes-antisemitism-lie): Israel-related wars can trigger antisemitic spikes, but they did not create antisemitism. The same claims about Jews killing children, starting wars, and controlling governments existed for centuries before modern Israel.
- [Conditional belonging: the antisemitic purity tests imposed on Jews](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/israel-support-purity-tests): Right-wing dual-loyalty accusations and progressive anti-Zionist exclusions use different politics to impose the same condition: Jews must disavow part of themselves before they belong.
- [Why Talmud quotes are so easy to rip out of context](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/talmud-quotes-out-of-context): The Talmud is not a flat list of Jewish beliefs. It is a layered record of argument, dialogue, minority opinions, hypotheticals, stories, and later interpretation. That makes quote-mining it especially misleading.
- [No, the U.S. did not enter World War II "to save the Jews" and World War II did not start "because of the Jews"](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/us-wwii-save-jews-lie): A source-backed correction to two linked falsehoods: the U.S. entered World War II after Pearl Harbor and Germany declared war, while the claim that Jews caused the war was Nazi propaganda used to justify persecution and murder.
- [Zionism is not the world's only ethnic or religious national movement](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/zionism-not-unique-national-movement): Zionism can be debated like any nationalism. But treating Jewish national self-determination as uniquely illegitimate ignores how common ethnic, religious, linguistic, and diaspora-linked national movements are.
- [Decoding Joseph Kent's NCTC resignation letter: what it says, what it implies, and which old stories it retells](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/joseph-kent-nctc-resignation): A line-by-line read of Joseph Kent’s claim that Israel, the media, and “the lobby” manufactured war: an antisemitic hidden-control and war-blame story in an official resignation letter.
- [When “Zionist” becomes a slur against Jews](https://www.newhateoldstory.org/articles/zionist-as-insult): “Zionist” can name a political belief. When it assigns collective guilt to Jews or excludes them from unrelated civic life, it functions as an antisemitic proxy.
