Sorry - Just a little more gloating

I have no idea why my comments were removed.

Does the KKK and Nazis like Jewish people? Answer the question.

I’ll take a stab at that. 

The answer isn’t a simple yes or no. 

The KKK and Nazis don’t like Jewish people in the United States. There is a reason these groups rail against Jewish control of the media, big banks, the government, etc.  There is a reason that specific Jews, like George Soros have received so much hatred from these and other Rightest groups in recent years. 

The nuance is that most of the people who are associated with Klan and (neo-)Nazi groups in the United States consider themselves to be Christian. The Christians need Israel to exist to help realize their Apocalyptical goals. For many Nazis and Klan supporters Israel is certainly a necessary evil. 

Israel’s position is further complicated by the fact that the State of Israel is seen by many on the far right as a necessary bulwark against political Islam and Islam more generally. For many on the far Right, there is this concession that the fight against Islam can happen primarily in the Middle East or it can happen in the United States and Europe. Pretty clear where they would rather have that fight. 

People on the Right will often point to people like Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner as some home proving that the far Right, including the Klan and the Nazis, aren’t anti-Semitic. Trump, in particular, has long viewed Jews in highly stereotypical ways—as amoral people only concerned with and inherently good with money. Trump, and others on the Right, will allow a few Shylocks into their orbit, but no matter how assimilated they are (and Kushner and Miller are highly assimilated), they will never be anything more than a Shylock.
