What were the Jews said to have done in the stab in the back in World War I?

The stab-in-the-back legend was a conspriacy theory that claimed that Germany had not been defeated on the battlefield but had been 'stabbed in the back" by subversives (allegedly mainly Jews) on the homefront. It was claimed that these subversives had fomented (encouraged) labour unrest and revolution, which had sabotaged the German war effort. The astonishing thing in World War 1 was that Germany managed to keep fighting for four years plus against an alliance that had vastly more resources and manpower. There was labour unrest in January 1918 but it did not wreck the war effort. By the time of the revolution of November 1918 Germany was militarily and economcially at the end of its tether.
