"Jews control the Federal Reserve"
The claim that "Jews control the Federal Reserve" is an antisemitic conspiracy theory. The Fed is controlled by public servants who are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

"Jews control the government"
For Jews to control the government, they would all have to have the same agenda. In reality, American Jews are politically diverse and disagree about many issues. They should be treated like human beings, not as a faceless monolith.

Lies about US-Israel exchanges
Blaming Israel for police brutality in America is an antisemitic lie. US-Israel police exchange programs help senior officials prevent terrorist attacks and have nothing to do with street arrests.

Scapegoating Israel for George Floyd's Murder

Role of Jews in the Slave Trade
According to Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., who directs Harvard's Hutchins Center for African & African American Research, the claim that Jews dominated the trans-Atlantic slave trade is false. In fact, they were responsible for a tiny percentage of it, compared to non-Jews.
