The 'Jewish Space Laser' meme originated from a 2018 Facebook post by U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, which resurfaced in early 2021. In the post, she suggested that the California wildfires were caused by space-based lasers linked to the Rothschild family and PG&E. The absurdity of the claim immediately sparked a wave of internet satire, with users creating mock-ups of orbital weapons emblazoned with the Star of David. Today, the meme is widely used to ridicule outlandish conspiracy theories or to jokingly blame any minor misfortune on a non-existent, high-tech satellite system. It remains a staple of political commentary and internet culture, symbolizing the peak of misinformation-turned-comedy.
