'Jews try to assassinate Trump!' Antisemitic theories and calls for violence surge

The assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, PA, led to a surge in antisemitic conspiracy theories and calls for violent retaliation, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

On July 13, 2024, former President Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, PA. The attack, which resulted in one death and three injuries, including Trump himself, ignited a flurry of antisemitic conspiracy theories and calls for violent retaliation online, according to the ADL blog.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, PA, was identified as the shooter. Federal law enforcement treated the incident as an assassination attempt, though Crooks' motives remained unclear, the ADL reported.

In the wake of the shooting, antisemitic conspiracy theories quickly surfaced. According to the ADL, Jon Minadeo, founder of the Goyim Defense League, hosted a session on X, formerly Twitter, titled “Jews try to assassinate Trump!” Similarly, conspiracy theorist Stew Peters baselessly suggested that Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, was involved in the attack.

Prominent figures in white supremacist circles also propagated these theories. Nick Fuentes, a well-known white supremacist, claimed that Israeli intelligence attacked to replace Trump with a candidate more favorable to Israeli interests, the ADL noted.

I have tried to warn this guy - somehow the world will (eventually) be deceived into going to full-on war against Israel - this will be at the end of the 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’ - the Dragon (Satan, of course), the Antichrist and the False Prophet will deceive the world with their lies - into going to war against Israel and will result in Armageddon and the deaths of all who go against Israel.

The birds will eat well that day. And for awhile.

I’m sure the world Laughs, Scoffs and Mocks. They won’t...eventually.

Are you crazy?

The suggestion that Crooks is Jewish sounds like deliberate disinformation spread onto alt-right and conservative sites to attempt to discredit those who think that he did not act alone. In other words, it is a cyber version of the Patriot Guard.

Oh because Benjamin Guggenheim, Isidor Straus, and Jacob Astor were killed and they were against the establishment of the federal reserve?

Goyim Defense League sounds fake.

Replaces the previous anti-Semitic theory that Trump was controlled by the Jews.

Goyim Defense League sounds fake.

Sounds like a groyper / 4chan "joke" rather than a real organization. But some terminally online masturbators really did issue statements.

What’s that got to do with it?

I’m not Jewish, but I’d look like one if you checked only my private’s. And what kinda perv are you anyway? 🤷‍♂️
