  ABSTRACT: This paper attempted to advance the Conspiracy Theory (CT) literature in two ways. First, we devised a new CT measure concerning the Hamas/Israeli conflict (H/IC), which we correlated with two other CTs: a general, and health-related CT. Second, we assessed the Dark Tetrad traits in addition to demographic, ideological, self-esteem (SE), and Just World Belief (BJW) correlates on all three CTs. All CTs maintained acceptable alphas and were highly correlated 0.46 r CT mindset. Demographic (sex, education), political beliefs, Dark Tetrad traits (Narcissism, Psychopathology) and BJWs were significant in the regression onto H/IC. Implications and limitations are acknowledged.
