Steve Bannon has given an old antisemitic trope a fresh 'pro-Israel' spin

JL;DR SUMMARY Steve Bannon, a former adviser to Donald Trump, recently reignited an age-old antisemitic trope by labeling American Jews as primary enemies of Israel unless they support MAGA and his political agenda.

At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

"It arose again in the Soviet Union, where many intellectuals most of them Jewish were smeared as rootless cosmopolitans who belonged nowhere and to nothing, and were therefore fine and fair to target as part of anti-cosmopolitan campaigns."
