This narrative has been adopted by disinformation purveyors and adapted to the specific context of each country:
Franziska Tschinderle (Hungary)
Narrative: Although Tschinderle herself is not Jewish, the Hungarian pro-government media frequently ties her work to Jewish influence by associating her with George Soros and liberal European media, which are often portrayed as Jewish-controlled.
Case study: Alexander Roth (Germany)
Narrative: Alexander Roth is directly targeted with anti-Semitic narratives. Right-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists have claimed that he is part of a Jewish conspiracy to manipulate public opinion. This accusation is particularly evident in Telegram channels linked to the Reichsürger and identitarian ecosystem in Germany, where anti-Semitic rhetoric is common. In the height of surrealism, on these same Telegram channels, Roth has been compared to Julius Streicher, a notorious Nazi propagandist, because he was reporting critically on the anti-vaccine movement in Stuttgart during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Case study: Adina Marincea (Romania)
Narrative: Adina Marincea has been labeled as “das Jude” (the Jew) by her attackers, even though there is no basis for this in reality. This narrative suggests that her reporting, especially on nationalist groups, is intended to weaken Romania’s national identity by framing nationalists as neo-Nazis or extremists. Marincea is accused of being part of an “anti-Romanian” effort, which her critics claim is led by Jewish interests, particularly those linked to globalism and liberalism.
