- Antisemitism often functions like a conspiracy theory, in that antisemites claims that Jews secretly hold a great amount of power and use it for nefarious purposes. Antisemites often believe that Jews hold outsized political power, financial wealth, and/or media influence. They frequently claim that Jews have used this power to establish the State of Israel and often demonize Zionist supporters of Israel.
