About
In Case You Were Wondering, Yes He Is is a catchphrase used to surreptitiously indicate that a certain person is Jewish, usually done with the purpose of promoting antisemitic sentiment by establishing a connection between a certain set of sociopolitical views and the ethnicity of the person supporting them. The dog-whistle expression achieved prevalence with those seeking to spread the sentiment in 2024, typically being used in quote posts and comments on X / Twitter. The use of the catchphrase is similar to the Early Life Wikipedia Section meme.
Origin
On March 3rd, 2024, X[1] user @GarbageHuman24 quoted a news post about Washington Post reporter Maura Judkis, who pointed out that "America is a sticky-fingered nation built on stolen land" in an article about shoplifting, commenting, "In case you were wondering, yes she is." The comment, which implied that the author of the article is Jewish and referenced prominent antisemitic conspiracies, gained over 2,500 reposts and 44,000 likes in nine months (shown below).
Spread
On March 3rd, 2024, United States Representative Mike Collins replied to the post, "Never was a second thought," with the approving response sparking a controversy.[2][3]
On March 20th, 2024, X[4] user @groipa used the same phrase to point out that the author of another article was Jewish, with their post (shown below) gaining over 210 reposts and 2,200 likes in nine months.
In the following months, @GarbageHuman24 continued to make posts in which they used the catchphrase to surreptitiously indicate that a certain person is Jewish. For example, on May 29th, the account posted a screenshot of a New York Post article titled "Fatherhood might be bad for your heart: study" paired with the caption. The post (shown below) received over 1,000 reposts and 13,000 likes on X[5] in six months.
The phrase saw further spread on X / Twitter in the summer and fall of 2024.

"Early Life" Wikipedia Section
'Early Life' Wikipedia Section is a section found in biographical entries on Wikipedia that describes events of a person's early life, such as their date and place of birth and their immediate family. Due to the information about a person's ethnic and religious background often readily available in the "Early Life" section, it has been used to check whether a certain person is Jewish, often by those seeking to spread anti-Semitic sentiment. In the late 2010s, dog-whistle memes referencing the section received spread online, with the phrase "Early Life" being used to reference Jewish ethnicity.
