Here is what perplexes me. It is well known and quite obvious that the right wing is virulently anti semitic, that they used Soros as code for Jew is just one example, another is the chant in Charlotteville of Jews will not replace us, and of course holocaust denialism.

With such blatant evidence how does one explain Steven Miller, Rupert, Steve Wynn, the Addelsons, and other Las Vegas millionaires, the Mercers, Barre Seid who left 1.6 billion to the Federalist Society, and especially Rupert Murdoch https://observer.com/2016/03/algemeiner-celebrates-power-Jews-at-packed-manhattan-gala/ is it all about Israel? Are Republicans seen as the champions of the Israeli state? For sure Evangelicals and end time Christians certainly are.

The Israeli right knows that these are virulent antisemites, but because they are the biggest supporters of Israel (as part of their end times eschatology) and the primary source of tourist income, they pragmatically overlook their antisemitism

Not too smart, an equivalent is a gay Republican or any Republican who is not white, straight and Christian, or for that matter not male.

Lots of Germans made that mistake in the 1920's and 30's, as did Russians in 1917.

Because of pogroms and the forced movement of Ashkenazi to the pale of settlement, the Jews were early supporters of the Bolsheviks., but their welcome wore out, until there was a flood of refuseniks fleeing to the west and America
