"Even before #Israel’s modern-day rebirth in 1948, #Jews routinely stood accused of not possessing sufficient loyalty to the nations where they resided.

One of the earliest examples of this #libel was the suspicion in parts of #medieval #Christian #Europe that Jews were in league with some #Muslim powers.

The charge of #dualloyalty could be seen in the 1894 #DreyfusAffair in #France through the #Nazis’ rise to power; indeed, this notion in large measure underlays the failure of #Jewish emancipation in Europe. In the #UnitedStates in the 1920s, #HenryFord published The International #Jew, which alleged, along with other calumnies, that Jews were pushing #America toward war for financial gain and world domination.

Its contemporary manifestation almost always centers on the charge that Jews are more beholden to Israel than their own nation. Often, the dual-loyalty charge is infused with a narrative imputing enormous power to Jews and Jewish communities..."
