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.^[1] 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.^[1] It is named for Nazi chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels, who engineered the deeply virulent antisemitic propaganda of the Third Reich.
