Deadly New Orleans Attack Fuels Conspiracy Theories About Immigrants, Israel

The deadly New Year’s attack in New Orleans, Louisiana, left a city reeling and social media awash in hateful lies and conspiracy theories about immigrants, Israel and a government cover-up.

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.”

US anti-Israel activists blame Israel for Los Angeles wildfire crisis

Anti-Israel activists and commentators in the US blame Israel for the wildfire crisis in Los Angeles.

Code Pink, a far-left activist group, says on Instagram, “When US taxes go to burning people alive in Gaza, we can’t be surprised when those fires come home.”

The New York branch of the anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace, in a post about the fires, says, “Instead of putting resources toward making our country livable, our government is putting billions toward Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

Commentator Mehdi Hasan also links US military aid to Israel to the LA fire department’s budget.



No surprise that little troll blames Israel for the fires in LA. He would blame Israel for his pathetic facial hair.

The NOLA guy was just another of Donald's Muslims who helped put Donald in the WH.

Add it to the conspiracy list.
