QAnon builds on centuries of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that put Jewish people at risk
Is QAnon anti-Semitic? The conspiracy theory movement builds off of anti-Semitic tropes and false claims that have circulated worldwide for centuries.

Rachel E. Greenspan said:Those 12th-century anti-Semitic tropes alleged that Jews were responsible for kidnapping Christian children and drinking their blood for religious rituals. Those claims, called blood-libel conspiracy theories, persisted throughout the 1800s and into the 20th century, according to the ADL.
The blood libel conspiracy theory is still alive with QAnon, as believers have claimed that the fictional deep-state cabal consumes the blood of children through adrenochrome, a fictional version of a chemical compound that's "harvested from the fear of children,"
recently Fox News and NewsMax both parted ways with Lara Logan for mentioning people in the shadows "dine on the blood of children"
But given that so-called "blood libel" is clearly based on a real practice (metzitza) is it really so strange to assume this practice continues?
