How can they say they love Israel but also say Jews run everything and be generally negative towards Jews here?
Edited to add:
It's a common tactic with fascist regimes. Nazis used to do it with Jewish propaganda by simultaneously claiming that Jews were weak vermin that needed to be exterminated and that they are this supervillain that controls all the money.
You currently see it a lot with the people chanting "Genocide Joe" and claiming he is some mastermind warhawk with at the same time claiming that he is some feeble, senile old man. He's Schrödinger's politician!
Ah I remember the days of "Obama, The Weak-Willed Tyrant" an incompetent man with a genius level intellect according to Fox News..
Edit: For context, I'm talking about 2008-2015ish when the Right claimed Obama was too soft to stand up to America's enemies and was this "weak child of a man", and that he was also this evil corrupt tyrant who gave no one an inch, claiming him to be a moron and yet also a diabolical mastermind plotting the Muslim Takeover of America
The amount of Racism was fucking unreal. Especially down here in the South, I rolled my eyes at a lot of "Vote for the Mormon, not the Muslim!" in 2012
Obama's not even Arabic! Why the fuck did everyone think he was a muslim? And even if he was, who fucking cares?
Do you remember during the 2008 campaign when there was criticism over Obama's pastor being too outspoken in his church? In back to back segments fox would reflect on Obama's dangerous version of Christianity while also saying he was a Muslim...
