TheGoebbels gap is an Internetadage defined as the amount of time between a negative event in the world and when someoneblames it on the Jews.[1] Promulgated by the American writerYair Rosenberg, then a senior writer atTablet magazine, in 2019, it is seen as a proof point of seemingly everyconspiracy theory eventually targeting theJews.[1] It is named forNazi chief propagandistJoseph Goebbels, who engineered the deeply virulent antisemitic propaganda of theThird Reich.
Rosenberg has cited as examples of the Goebbels gap the 10 day period between theSeptember 11 attacks and when antisemitic conspiracy theories began to emerge ofIsrael's culpability in the attacks.[1]
