Plus it isn't just them. The far-right also contains a lot of antisemitism. I guess the more extreme you get, the more you believe conspiracy theories as an explanation for why the world isn't how you want it. And the more you believe in conspiracy theories the more likely you are to move into antisemitic tropes about global world orders and such like.

There was no such place as Israel back then, it was prior to the Jewish uprising to in the British mandate, I actually think it was the Arabs revolting there at the time
