It's fairly standard anti-semitic bullshit that huge numbers of people believed, and have believed for decades. Most conspiracy theories are at their heart based on anti-semitic lies produces by the various christian church for hundreds of years. Even during WW2 there were Americans commenting on hitler being right about the jews. As a reminder: WW2 was in no way about the holocaust. My wife was in a line at a UC behind two students who said "well jews do incest, and they used to eat babies" in actual seriousness. It is super important to understand a lot of people seriously believe a lot of insanely screwed up things about jews.
