Abstract

This article discusses how the testimony of Fiona Hill before the US Congressional Impeachment Hearings into President Donald J. Trump, explicitly linked conspiracy theories about Ukraine's involvement in the US 2016 election with antisemitism. Hill was a former official in the National Security Council and director of issues relating to Europe and Russia. She stated that the antisemitism was particularly apparent in conspiracy theories involving George Soros. Hill testified that the "[t]his is the longest-running anti-Semitic trope that we have in history, and a trope against Mr. Soros was also created for political purposes, and this is the new Protocols of The Elders of Zion."
