Goebbels gap

The Goebbels gap is an Internet adage defined as the amount of time between a negative event in the world and when someone blames it on the Jews. Promulgated by the American writer Yair Rosenberg, then a senior writer at Tablet magazine, in 2019, it is seen as a proof point of seemingly every conspiracy theory eventually targeting the Jews. It is named for Nazi chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels, who engineered the deeply virulent antisemitic propaganda of the Third Reich.
