When a Crisis Erupts, the Jews Will Be among Those Blamed
(Times of Israel) David Harris - Whenever a crisis erupts, the conspiracy theorists come out of the woodwork and, sooner or later, the Jews will be among those blamed. Now, with a pandemic circling the globe, the conspiracy theorists are at it once more. It doesn't matter that the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, where no Jewish community exists, or that Israel is battling the coronavirus tooth-and-nail, or that a number of American Jews have already succumbed to the pandemic. Failing to monitor and confront the threat posed by the conspiracy-mongers and their hateful incitement would be shortsighted in the extreme. The writer is CEO of the American Jewish Committee.
