In case of abuse, David Reinert, a QAnon founder, holding a Q sign waits in line with others to enter a campaign rally with President Donald Trump and Republican US Senate candidate Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Pa., August 2, 2018, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania (AP Photo/ Matt Rourke) QAnon, the viral, discredited conspiracy theory whose believers were prominent in the assault on the Capitol, is recognizably anti-Semitic. The theory’s focus on a secret elite that sacrifices children, drinks their blood, and aims at world domination is a souped-up version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Its attacks on “globalists” — a venerable stand-in for Jews — and on actual Jews, like the Rothschild family and George Soros, were part of what made Q popular with neo-Nazis. That is why I was shocked to discover that more and more people I know, many of them Orthodox Jews, had embraced Q and its bizarre beliefs.
