A truck with the message "Jews did 9/11" emblazoned across it was seen driving through Long Island, New York on Tuesday of this week.

Non-partisan organization StopAntisemitism tweeted in response that "the Jews of New York deserve better @GovKathyHochul - the hatred that has infested your state is alarming."

What ADL says about this conspiracy theory

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) lists on its official website the most common antisemitic conspiracy theories on 9/11. Examples include that the Mossad or Jewish neoconservatives were behind the attack, or that the media (which these conspiracy theorists also believe are "Jewish-controlled) manipulated narratives about the attack.

Other conspiracies are that Israel had knowledge of the incoming attack and didn't report it, or that Zionists exploited the attacks to expand surveillance of Americans.
