The mass deportation of undocumented people was one of Hitler’s largest coercive policies before the war. This set off a chain of events which can give us a useful perspective on where we are now.

Netanyahu has requested a pardon from Israeli President Herzog. Netanyahu hasn’t been convicted yet and his trial is ongoing. We have to assume a pressure campaign on Herzog will follow and that Netanyahu will demand a pardon without admission of responsibility.

This isn't ancient history either. Farage used the term "globalist" to describe Grant Shapps just three years ago.
These are age-old antisemitic terms, and they tap into racist right-wing conspiracy theories about a one world government.

Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

(The chicken tikka masala thing is backed up by opinion poll after opinion poll. I suspect its popularity might be slipping a bit largely because lots of people’s taste in curries is no longer quite so basic.)

This is a person who is still taken seriously and published in left-wing spaces.
To be clear: No, most Israeli Jews are not descended from Polish Jews. And even for the minority who are, it would obviously not be safe for them all to go there now, given the Polish government.
