Israel’s Flirtation With Anti-Semites

Far-right politicians often cite their support for Israel as proof that they are not anti-Semites. In fact, the openly fascist members of Israel’s government have much more in common with figures like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán than they do with diaspora Jews.

But the anti-Semitic nature of these claims has not stopped Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, former US President Donald Trump, and their followers from propagating them.
