Abstract

This Briefing will explain the impact that Covid-19 conspiracism has had on antisemitism in the UK, by showing the way it has influenced antisemitic hate crimes and the spread of antisemitic, Covid-related conspiracy content online. It will show how some in this movement use and abuse Nazi and Holocaust imagery and language to illustrate their arguments. It will identify some of the main individuals and networks within this movement, give some case studies of individuals who propagate antisemitism alongside Covid-19 and other conspiracies, and explore where the movement may go next, including their recent shift to pushing conspiracy theories about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
