Evangelicals are christian zionists .. Archived Message Posted by Shyaku on August 25, 2019, 1:50 am, in reply to "Norman Finkelstein on: Why do antisemitic regimes (e.g. Orban, Bolsonaro) love the *Jewish* state?" Is Bolsonaro 'antisemitic'? He is more likely a christian zionist. As for Europe, the pecking order of racism has probably changed. Now anyone who is demonstrably and robustly anti-muslim seems likely to be welcomed as a fellow-traveler. This may be the popular position of Orban at any rate, and it would seem to make him a natural fellow-traveler with Net&Yahoo. I think it is misleading to confuse being rightwing, even nationalistic, with being an antisemite. Nationalism is just one of a mix of flavors on the right. It doesnt walk in lockstep with antisemitism necessarily - xenophobia, perhaps would be a closer match. Moreover, Finkelstein was referring to these people as 'alt-right' but the alt-right in the US is quite prosemitic. Trump is supposed to be alt-right. What F calls alt-right is perhaps more accurately described as neo-nationalism, essentially a reaction to globalism.
