Sure, those phrases have been used against Jews, I’m not denying that. I’m also not denying that the Republican party is wrong in most things. But those phrases don’t actually say who is behind the curtain, or puppeting billionaires. They could be implicating anyone.

The use of stylized language like that has long been “I’m blaming Jews, but want to pretend it’s something else when called on it”

Yep, it’s what we call a dog whistle.

Zionism among evangelical Christians is antisemitic. They don’t give a flying fuck about the Jews having a place to live; they just want them to have a place to go away from here.
And they want to kickstart the apocalypse, of which a precondition is the Jews returning to the Holy Land, so there’s that. (They expect said Jews to burn while they themselves get Raptured, of course.)
