Agreeing with oomf on X that antisemitism in the 2020s is also pushed by China. Antizionism as a unifying ideology, making chokepoints more friendly for China (Red Sea, Hormuz, Gibraltar), and a personal conviction that Jews control the US (a Singaporean said this right off the bat to me in 2009).

Why Do Many Irish People Hate Israel? Unpacking the Complex Reasons #shorts
Why the strong Irish sentiment towards Israel? It's a cocktail of factors: seeing themselves in the Palestinian struggle, a move from Catholicism to new belief structures, and anti-Zionism becoming a core part of Irish identity. More than just politics, it's often seen as faith. #IrishPolitics #MiddleEastConflict #CulturalAnalysis #Identity

2 more theories as a non-Jew: 1. Thieves expected treasures and all they found was that. Church prowlers in Indonesia found hosts and felt disappointed. 2. Some people believe Jewish scriptures have magical power, removing them will make Jews weak. This idea is popularized by both YT & TV pundits.
פינחס יוסף מונד@pymundgenealogy.bsky.social · last wk.It is obviously sacrilegious and often the thieves aren't Jewish, but the motive is purely financial and easy to understand.
The “humanitarian peace activists” aren’t interested UNLESS they can blame the Jew… oops! “Zionists”

I've commented before that as far as empty platitudes go, I prefer "thoughts and prayers" to "hate has no place here". At least the former acknowledges that there is something to think about and pray for.
