FALSE NARRATIVE #2: The attack was a false flag orchestrated by Israel or Zionists to stoke Islamophobia and justify war in the Middle East
Conspiracy theories blaming Israel and Zionists for terror attacks are not new; events such as 9/11, as well as more recent incidents like the ISIS-linked Crocus City Hall attack in March 2024, have also been falsely attributed to Israel. Mirroring past conspiratorial claims, some accused the Israeli government of creating ISIS, referring to the acronym as the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service.

FALSE NARRATIVE #3: Powerful, nefarious Jews are to blame for the attack
Antisemitic influencers seized on the New Orleans attack to promote overtly hateful falsehoods about Jews, suggesting that the incident was related to Jewish influence.
On X, antisemitic propagandist Brother Nathanael used the New Orleans attack and the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas, which occurred on the same day, to claim that there was something jewy [sic] here.
