The publication of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in 1903 is usually considered the beginning of contemporary conspiracy theory literature.{{cite journal |first=Svetlana |last=Boym |author-link=Svetlana Boym |title=Conspiracy theories and literary ethics: Umberto Eco, Danilo Kis and The Protocols of Zion |journal=Comparative Literature |date=Spring 1999 |volume=51 |issue=2 |pages=97–122 |doi=10.2307/1771244 |jstor=1771244}} The trope embodied by the book is manifested in both writings and imagery, where Jews are accused of plotting world domination nefariously.

In the Middle Ages, Jews were restricted from most professions and pushed into marginalized occupations, such as tax collection and moneylending, due to the Roman Catholic Church's prohibition on Christians charging interest for loans. In 1179, the Third Council of the Lateran threatened excommunication for any Christians lending money at interest, prompting borrowers to turn to Jews for loans. Natural tension between gentile debtors and Jewish creditors reinforced pre-existing anti-Jewish biases.{{cite book |author-link=Paul Johnson (writer) |last=Johnson |first=Paul |title=A History of the Jews |location=New York |publisher=HarperCollins |date=1987 |isbn=0-06-091533-1 |page=174 |quote=Financial oppression of Jews tended to occur in areas where they were most disliked, and if Jews reacted by concentrating on moneylending to gentiles, the unpopularity – and so, of course, the pressure – would increase [...] Christians [...] condemned interest-taking [...] and from 1179 those who practised it were excommunicated [...] Christians also imposed the harshest financial burdens on Jews. Jews reacted by engaging in the one business where Christian laws actually discriminated in their favour, and so became identified with the hated trade of moneylending.}} In England, the departing Crusaders were joined by debtors in the massacres of Jews at London and York in 1189–1190. In 1275, Edward I of England punished Jewish creditors by passing the anti-usury Statute of Jewry. Many English Jews were arrested, 300 of whom were hanged. In 1290, all Jews were expelled from England.

Throughout history, Christians alleged that Jews either dislike or sought to destroy Christianity. A 65,000-word treatise written by Martin Luther, a pioneering 16th-century Christian reformer, also consists of such a libel that is still being promoted.

{{blockquote|text=Yet the very impulse that propelled the Christian imagination from the Jew as a deliberate killer of Christ to the Jew as a perpetrator of the most heinous crimes against humanity also led to the portrayal of the Jew as inhuman, satanic, animal-like, and monstrous [...] the bestiality of the Jew climaxed in the image of the {{lang|de|Judensau}}.{{sfn|Cohen|2007|pp=204–207}}}}

Judensau (German for Jews' sow) is a dehumanizing imagery of Jews that appeared around the 13th century. Its popularity lasted for six centuries until Nazi revival. Sculptures of Jews, typically portrayed as "obscene human contact" with unclean animals like pigs and owls, were often found on cathedral or church ceilings, pillars, utensils, etchings etc. The images always combined multiple antisemitic motifs, which sometimes included derisive prose or poetry.{{sfn|Cohen|2007|p=208}}{{efn|Cohen also noted

Dozens of Judensaus [...] intersect with the portrayal of the Jew as a Christ killer. Various illustrations of the murder of Simon of Trent blended images of Judensau, the devil [...] and the Crucifixion. In a seventeenth-century engraving from Frankfurt [...] a well-dressed, very contemporary-looking Jew has mounted the sow backward and holds her tail, while a second Jew sucks at her milk and a third eats her feces. The horned devil, himself wearing a Jewish badge, looks on and the butchered Simon, splayed as if on a cross.}} Martin Luther, a 16th-century Reformation's pioneer, was noted for his vicious antisemitism.

The false belief of Jewish male anal menstruation emerged in the 16th century, which formed part of the canard that all Jews were somehow female.{{cite journal |last=Johnson |first=Willis |year=1998 |title=The myth of Jewish male menses |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1016/S0304-4181(98)00009-8 |journal=Journal of Medieval History |publisher=Elsevier |volume=24 |pages=273–295 |doi=10.1016/S0304-4181(98)00009-8 |access-date=12 December 2020 |number=3}} The false belief was allegedly based on scripture associating Jews with bleeding, particularly the description of Judas' death in {{bibleverse|Acts|1:18–19}}, where his belly was allegedly burst open, which inspired further accounts of heretics having their blood or entrails spilled via the anus at death. It was, in the 12th century, referenced to the blood curse invoked by the Jews at Jesus' trial before Pilate.Biblical reference:
{{bibleverse|Matt|27:25}} In the following century, a pseudoscientific explanation based on humoral medicine was added, supplemented by a verse from {{bibleverse|Psalms|78:66|KJV}}. By 1302, it was claimed that Jewish male descendants of those alleged to have "taken responsibility" for the crucifixion of Jesus would suffer a monthly bleeding. A 1503 account of the 1494 ritual murder trials at Tyrnau consisted of the earliest mention of the alleged monthly male bleeding. In 17th-century Spain, the notion was revived by physicians, including the king's, conflating menstruation with hemorrhoids, which contributed to the "legal concept" of "impure blood" in a family or race.{{cite journal |last=Beusterien |first=John L. |title=Jewish Male Menstruation in Seventeenth-Century Spain |pages=447–456 |journal=Bulletin of the History of Medicine |publisher=Johns Hopkins University Press |volume=73 |number=3 |date=Fall 1999 |doi=10.1353/bhm.1999.0097 |pmid=10500339 |s2cid=31067777 |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/4299 |access-date=12 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241207145207/https://muse.jhu.edu/article/4299 |archive-date=7 December 2024}}

During the devastating 14th century Black Death, crowded cities were hard hit, with death tolls as high as 50%. Emotionally distraught survivors scapegoated Jews opportunistically. Soon after the Black Death's entry to Europe in 1346, a massacres of Jews broke out between 1348 and 1351 based on false charges of Jews "spreading" the epidemic. The first massacres happened in Toulon in 1348, where the Jewish quarter was sacked and 40 Jews murdered, then in Barcelona.Anna Foa (2003). The Jews of Europe After the Black Death. p. 13 "This was the context in which the Plague made its appearance in 1348. The Black Death The Plague was not unknown in [...] The first massacres took place in April 1348 in Toulon, where the Jewish quarter was raided and forty Jews were murdered in their homes. Shortly afterward, violence broke out in Barcelona and in other Catalan cities." In 1349, massacres and persecution spread across Europe, including the Erfurt massacre, Basel Massacre and massacres in Aragon and Flanders.{{cite book |first=Máttis |last=Kantor |date=2005 |title=Codex Judaica: Chronological Index of Jewish History |page=203 |quote=1349 The Black Death massacres swept across Europe [...] The Jews were savagely attacked and massacred, by sometimes hysterical mobs—normal social order had [...]}}John Marshall (2006).

In Stalin's Soviet Union, the statewide campaign against "rootless cosmopolitans", a Soviet euphemism for Jews, was set out on 28 January 1949 with an article in the party's official newspaper Pravda:

Such propaganda was followed by state campaigns of persecution until Stalin's death in 1953, which involved mass termination of Soviet Jewish doctors and liquidation of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee based on false charges of treason, espionage and association with Zionism. The anniversary of the murders was commemorated by Soviet Jewry Movement's activists from the 1960s until the end of the Soviet Union.{{cite web |url=http://ncsej.org/media/55c375e0d0ee0.pdf |title=The Night of the Murdered Poets |publisher=National Conference on Soviet Jewry |date=1973 |access-date=22 November 2015 |archive-date=23 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151123004618/http://ncsej.org/media/55c375e0d0ee0.pdf }}

In 1968, the Soviet-dominated Polish communist state exploited pre-existing antisemitism to peddle similar claims, equating Jewish origins with "disloyalty" and "Zionist sympathies", to blame Polish Jews for the anti-communist mass protests. A purge of Polish Jews, most of whom were Holocaust survivors, ensued. The purge caused the exodus of 5,000–10,000 Polish Jews – around 20–33% of those remaining back then. An apology was made by the democratic Polish government in March 2018.{{cite news |first=Ofer |last=Aderet |date=8 March 2018 |work=Haaretz |url=https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2018-03-08/ty-article/polands-president-apologizes-for-1968-expulsion-of-jews/0000017f-f067-df98-a5ff-f3ef89f60000 |title=Poland's President Apologizes for 1968 Purge of Jews |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250207135928/https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2018-03-08/ty-article/polands-president-apologizes-for-1968-expulsion-of-jews/0000017f-f067-df98-a5ff-f3ef89f60000 |archive-date=7 February 2025}}{{cite news |first=Monika |last=Sieradzka |date=8 March 2018 |work=Deutsche Welle |url=https://www.dw.com/en/poland-marks-50-years-since-1968-anti-semitic-purge/a-42877652 |title=Poland: 50 years since 1968 anti-Semitic purge |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241007194718/https://www.dw.com/en/poland-marks-50-years-since-1968-anti-semitic-purge/a-42877652 |archive-date=7 October 2024}}

Holocaust denial consists of claims that the genocide of Jews during World War II – usually referred to as the Holocaust{{cite book |first=Donald L. |last=Niewyk |title=The Columbia Guide to the Holocaust |publisher=Columbia University Press |date=2000 |page=45 |quote=The Holocaust is commonly defined as the murder of more than 5,000,000 Jews by the Germans in World War II.}} – did not occur at all, or it did not happen in the manner or to the extent which is historically recognized. Key elements of these claims are the rejection of the following facts:

Holocaust deniers, or 'revisionists', as they call themselves, question all three major points of definition of the Nazi Holocaust. First, they contend that, while mass murders of Jews did occur (although they dispute both the intentionality of such murders as well as the supposed deservedness of these killings), there was no official Nazi policy to murder Jews. Second, and perhaps most prominently, they contend that there were no homicidal gas chambers, particularly at Auschwitz-Birkenau, where mainstream historians believe over 1 million Jews were murdered, primarily in gas chambers. And third, Holocaust deniers contend that the death toll of European Jews during World War II was well below 6 million. Deniers float numbers anywhere between 300,000 and 1.5 million, as a general rule. |last=Mathis |first=Andrew E. |url=http://www.holocaust-history.org/denial/abc-clio/ |title=Holocaust Denial, a Definition |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609180542/http://www.holocaust-history.org/denial/abc-clio/ |archive-date=9 June 2011 |website=The Holocaust History Project |date=2 July 2004 |access-date=18 December 2006}}

Other factors are gross minimization of the number of the victims of the Holocaust, in contradiction to reliable sources, and attempts to blame the Jews for causing their own genocide. Statements have been made casting the Holocaust as a positive historical event. Those statements are not Holocaust denial but are closely connected to it as a radical form of antisemitism. They may suggest that the Holocaust did not go far enough in accomplishing its goal of "the Final Solution of the Jewish Question". Finally, there have been attempts to blur the responsibility for the establishment of concentration and death camps devised and operated by Nazi Germany by putting blame on other nations or ethnic groups.{{bulleted list

Holocaust deniers are condemned for ignoring all the evidence disproving their falsehood.Predetermined conclusion:

• {{"'}}Revisionism' is obliged to deviate from the standard methodology of historical pursuit because it seeks to mold facts to fit a preconceived result, it denies events that have been objectively and empirically proved to have occurred, and because it works backward from the conclusion to the facts, thus necessitating the distortion and manipulation of those facts where they differ from the preordained conclusion (which they almost always do). In short, 'revisionism' denies something that demonstrably happened, through methodological dishonesty." McFee, Gordon.

West, who claimed to speak for a black-empowerment group called AfriSynergy Productions, stopped short of making more explicit accusations against the IDF's behaviour in Haiti but he noted that there was "little monitoring" of it in the quake's aftermath, insinuating that organ theft was at the very least a strong possibility. The Iranian state outlet Press TV promoted the allegations. In a speech on 22 January, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami said "There have been news reports that the Zionist regime, in the case of the catastrophe of Haiti, and under the pretext of providing relief to the people of Haiti, is stealing the organs of these wretched people",

As per a paper published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), "anti-Semitic conspiracy theories have not been accepted in mainstream circles in the U.S.", but "this is not the case in the Arab and Muslim world".[http://www.adl.org/anti_semitism/9-11conspiracytheories.pdf Unraveling Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071029140936/http://www.adl.org/anti_semitism/9-11conspiracytheories.pdf |date=29 October 2007 }} New York: Anti-Defamation League, 2003. p. 1 A claim that 4,000 Jewish employees skipped work at the WTC on 11 September has been widely reported and widely debunked.

In 2003, the ADL published a report which attacked "hateful conspiracy theories" that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by Israelis and Jews, saying that they had the potential to "rationalize and fuel global anti-Semitism". The ADL's report found that "The Big Lie has united the American far-right, white supremacists and the Arab and Muslim world". It also found that many of those were modern manifestations of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.{{cite web |url=http://www.adl.org/presrele/asint_13/4346_13.htm |title=Conspiracy Theories About Jews and 9/11 Cause Dangerous Mutations in Global Anti-Semitism |publisher=Anti-Defamation League |date=2 September 2003 |access-date=30 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525143344/http://www.adl.org/PresRele/ASInt_13/4346_13.htm |archive-date=25 May 2011 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=http://www.adl.org/ADL_Opinions/Anti_Semitism_Arab/911_Conspiracies.htm |title=9/11 Conspiracy Theories Take Root in Arab/Muslim World |first=Abraham H. |last=Foxman |publisher=Anti-Defamation League |date=8 September 2006 |access-date=30 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604144105/http://www.adl.org/ADL_Opinions/Anti_Semitism_Arab/911_Conspiracies.htm |archive-date=4 June 2011}} The ADL has characterized the Jeff Rense website as carrying antisemitic materials, such as "American Jews staged the 9/11 terrorist attacks for their own financial gain and to induce the American people to endorse wars of aggression and genocide on the nations of the Middle East and the theft of their resources for the benefit of Israel".[http://www.adl.org/main_Extremism/Rense_Web_Site.htm Rense Web Site Promotes Anti-Semitic Views].

Black nationalists—united in their belief that Jews and Israel are to blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks [...] The NOI, led by longtime leader Louis Farrakhan, peddles numerous antisemitic stereotypes and conspiracy theories, including blaming Jews and Zionists for the 9/11 terrorist attacks by claiming that 9/11 was a false flag operation designed to help Israel and provoke a "war on Islam."

Various researchers noted the irrational contradictions in antisemitic tropes. Leon Pinsker noted as early as in 1882:

{{blockquote|Friend and foe alike have tried to explain or to justify this hatred of the Jews by bringing all sorts of charges against them. They are alleged to have crucified Jesus, to have drunk the blood of Christians, to have poisoned wells, to have taken usury, to have exploited the peasant, and so on. These and a thousand and one other charges against an entire people have been proved groundless. They showed their own weakness in that they had to be trumped up wholesale in order to quiet the evil conscience of the Jew-baiters, to justify the condemnation of an entire nation, to demonstrate the necessity of burning the Jew, or rather the Jewish ghost, at the stake. He who tries to prove too much proves nothing at all. Though the Jews may justly be charged with many shortcomings, those shortcomings are, at all events, not such great vices, not such capital crimes, as to justify the condemnation of the entire people.Leon Pinsker (1882): Autoemancipation}}

{{blockquote|Michael Curtis has pointed out the many directly contradictory accusations, claiming that Jews are simultaneously:

• militant aggressors but also cowardly pacifists

Gustavo Perednik wrote in Judeophobia:

{{blockquote|The Jews were accused by the nationalists of being the creators of Communism; by the Communists of ruling Capitalism. If they live in non-Jewish countries, they are accused of double-loyalties; if they live in the Jewish country, of being racists. When they spend their money, they are reproached for being ostentatious; when they don't spend their money, of being avaricious. They are called rootless cosmopolitans or hardened chauvinists.

As per defense attorney Kenneth Stern, "Historically, Jews have not fared well around conspiracy theories. Such ideas fuel anti-Semitism. The myths that all Jews are responsible for the death of Christ, or poisoned wells, or killed Christian children to bake matzos, or 'made up' the Holocaust, or plot to control the world, do not succeed each other; rather, the list of anti-Semitic canards gets longer."{{cite book |last=Stern |first=Kenneth S. |year=1997 |title=A Force upon the Plain: The American Militia Movement and the Politics of Hate |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8Hu7AAAAIAAJ |publisher=University of Oklahoma Press |page=247 |isbn=978-0-684-81916-7}} Hannah Arendt, in analyzing antisemitism in the first part of The Origins of Totalitarianism, shared a joke:

{{Blockquote|text=An antisemite claimed that the Jews had caused the war; the reply was: Yes, the Jews and the bicyclists. Why the bicyclists? asked the one; the other replied: Why the Jews?}}
