Editing Philosemitism (section)

==== Brazil ====
A current of Jewish studies in [[Brazil]] has dedicated itself to studying the extent to which far-right politician [[Jair Bolsonaro]]'s professed philo-Semitism reproduces traces of antisemitism.<ref name="Gherman">{{Cite book |author=Gherman, Michel |title=O não-judeu judeu: A tentativa de colonização do judaísmo pelo bolsonarismo |url=https://www.fosforoeditora.com.br/catalogo/nao-judeu-judeu/ |language= |format= |edition= |location=São Paulo |publisher=Fósforo |year=2022 |page=9 |isbn=9786584568471 |access-date= |ref={{harvid|Gherman}}}}</ref> This perspective, based on a study of the speeches of Bolsonaro and his mentor, the writer [[Olavo de Carvalho]], suggests that the proclaimed sympathy of far-right sectors for the State of Israel and the Jews, often presented without distinction, reverberates antisemitic tropes in two ways. Firstly, by portraying Jews as a wealthy and powerful group. In this context, Jews are often depicted as pillars of capitalism, and therefore inherently hostile to the left.<ref>{{Harvnb|Gherman|page=132}}</ref> The second and most significant expression of antisemitism in the far right's sympathy for Judaism would be inspired by authors such as Rabbi [[Marvin Stuart Antelman]], and reaffirms conspiracy theories presenting left-wing Jews as a group seeking world domination, but which would ultimately undermine the Jewish nation itself.<ref>{{Harvnb|Gherman|pages=142, 145}}</ref> In this context, researchers demonstrate how the philo-Semitism of the Brazilian extreme right has been employed to divide the Jewish community. The designation of true Jews is thus reserved for those who espouse conservative or reactionary policies, while left-wing Jews are regarded as apostates or traitors.<ref>{{Harvnb|Gherman|page=149}}</ref>
