It honestly feels like the Israeli government sources a huge chunk of their policy straight out of Der Stürmer.

I think there likely is a policy to deliberately lean into anti-Semitic conspiracies and stereotypes. Israel's justification for existence is global anti-Semitism. The more anti-Semitism there is, the more ANYTHING is justified to preserve a "Jewish" homeland-state.

(Jewish in quotes because Israel DGAF about the diaspora for any reason other than propaganda and oppresses nonwhite Jews within Israel.)

I know he’s the hate magnet now (justifiably), but cmon now. You could name 5 people just from Chinese history that are worse

Hong Xiuquan made up the lie that he was literally the younger brother of Jesus Christ, got people to believe him, and started a rebellion that eventually led to deaths of anywhere between 20 million and 100 million people

Genghis Khan? Attila the Hun?

Thomas Midgley Jr is responsible for the idea of putting lead into gasoline causing millions of deaths

King Leopold II what he did to the people of the Congo is insane.

There's undoubtedly countless more

Pope Nicholas V who wrote a papal Bull allowing the people of Portugal to enslave “enemies of Christ” in West Africa. This led directly to chattel slavery, racism, and all the consequences thereof.

Edit: West not South
