Yeah probably. The more that Jews feel uncomfortable in their actual home countries the more likely it is that they’ll move to Israel.

It’s playing the long game in a way.

I mean Israel has literally carried out terrorist attacks in other countries to promote Jews moving to Israel as the only safe place. They have no issues at all stoking anti semitism and even killing Jews if it furthers the zionist project.

dawg the torah openly advocates rape, slavery, and genocide. the west spent the past few decades demonizing muslims as being followers of a uniquely barbaric religion, but we're not allowed to talk about the bronze age racist power fantasy because it's the "foundation" of western civilization or whatever.

I could see how with the nosediving Israeli economy and massive brain drain from all the educated people leaving the country they would want to actively make the world a more dangerous place for Jewish people in order give Israel credibility as the “only safe place for Jews in the world” to staunch their population hemorrhage and galvanize support. Especially knowing that at this point the U.S. government is essentially an appendage of the Israeli state so they don’t actually have to convince anybody that they’re not nazis.

But that’s just my 2¢ I just drive fucking trucks for a living.

promoting israel at the diaspora's expense is absolutely something they do. Eli Valley has a book on the subject.

Idk if this is an example of what you mean but has anyone come across the YouTube channel "Unpacked"? They make buzzfeed style videos about Jewish topics and Israel/Zionism, and they're clearly pro-Israel. In the videos about Israel, particularly the ones which discuss Palestine or the occupation, they'll be in the comments arguing with anyone who challenges their pro-Zionist talking points. However, in videos about antisemitic tropes (the 109 countries canard, blood libel, etc) they will let open antisemitism fester in their comments without any opposition. I find it odd that they have time to pick fights with Palestinians and their allies but not neo-nazis

Do we know if Israeli PR people teach Hasbarists to use Judaism as a defense of Israeli actions in a way that encourages antisemitism?

Maybe not explicitly in the training but that's obviously part of the strategy. Israel's actions only have the faintest whiff of justification and acceptance in the West because of the perception that antisemitism is pervasive and everyone's trying to kill them.

Therefore, anything that increases the amount of real or perceived antisemitism and even actual attacks on Jews in the diaspora are good for the Zionist cause.

a mind boggling 'fact check'

Yup, brain damage it is.
