Antisemitism has unfortunately persisted throughout history, and the COVID-19 pandemic has not been an exception to this troubling trend. The conditions created by the pandemic, such as fear, uncertainty, and anxiety, have fueled the emergence and spread of conspiracy theories targeting various groups, including Jewish communities. The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a plethora of baseless beliefs and conspiracy theories about its causes, which have contributed to the rise of antisemitism during this time. Pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, inherently create anxiety and uncertainty among populations. This change has affected many areas, both political and social. Conspiracy theories that base the cause of the emergence of COVID-19 on Jewish identity are an essential factor for this study. Tendencies toward antisemitism and scapegoating have supported these conspiracy theories. In this study, how antisemitism manifested itself in media and online discourse during COVID-19 and how Jewish identity is affected by the process.

When René Girard applied his discovery about the role of mimesis in human social life to analyse the origin of culture and religion, he tackled Freud an Lévi‑Strauss for placing sexual relations rather than the sacrificial solution of rivalries at the centre. In so doing he ignored the role of gender in the sacrificial schemes by stressing that rivalries indiscriminately affect both genders. With the help of studies by Levinas and Kristeva, of some anthropological discoveries, and an alternative reading of the biblical trajectory from Genesis to the Book of Revelation, the article tries to show how Girard’s mimetic theory can both uphold gender neutrality and advance a Christian feminist option.

Aplikując odkrycie roli mimesis w życiu społecznym ludzi do analizy początków kultury i religii, Girard skrytykował Freuda i Lévi‑Straussa za to, że przedmiotem swoich rozważań uczynili relacje seksualne, a nie ofiarnicze rozwiązanie rywalizacji. Tym samym Girard zignorował rolę płci w strukturach ofiarniczych, podkreślając, że rywalizacja w jednakowy sposób wywiera wpływ na obie płcie. Dzięki badaniom Levinasa i Kristewy, niektórym antropologicznym odkryciom, i alternatywnemu odczytaniu biblijnej trajektorii, począwszy od Księgi Rodzaju do Apokalipsy, artykuł stara się wykazać, że mimetyczna teoria Girarda może zarówno podtrzymać neutralność płci jaki wspierać chrześcijańską opcję feministyczną.
