- Contrary to popular opinions, the newspaper, TV, and movie industries are all dominated by non-Jewish owners, producers, and editors. Jewish members of the media are also not a monolith, and they often disagree with each other politically and personally.
- Blood libel, which dates back to medieval Europe, is the anti-Semitic practice of falsely accusing Jews of killing Christian children and then using the blood to make matzah.
- Despite conspiracy theories to the contrary, there is not a special tax on kosher foods that goes back to rabbis or anyone else.
- Despite overwhelming physical evidence and testimony that Jews were targeted and that six million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust, about a fifth of Americans believe that the Holocaust may not have happened.
