Zionist occupation government, Zionist occupational government, or Zionist-occupied government (abbreviated as ZOG) is an antisemitic conspiracy theory that claims Jews secretly control the governments of Western states.[1][2] Other variants such as "Jewish occupational government" (abbreviated as JOG) are sometimes used.[3] According to believers, a secret Zionist organization controls international banks, and through them the governments, in order to collude against white, Christian, or Islamic interests.[4]
