Instrumentalisation of Antisemitism and the Holocaust

The accusation that Jews instrumentalise antisemitism contends that Jews seek to deliberately exploit concern about antisemitism in order to benefit, either financially or politically. Accusations that Jews seek to instrumentalise the Holocaust suggest that they attempt to use the memory of the Holocaust as a tool to obtain power, wealth or to further the interests of Jews or of Israel. In extreme cases, such ideas can lead to claims that Jews have exaggerated the scale or even manufactured the entire event of the Holocaust in order to impose feelings of guilt on the non-Jewish world, which can then be exploited for Jewish gain.
