Pat isn’t an anti-Semite but is anti-Israel.
Not sure exactly why but he has been this way for a very long time.
Zathras, the KGB and Soviet Union did more to mess up the Middle East than the British Empire and they bred jihadists who have never even opened a Koran with all their propaganda against Zionism and ‘world Jewry’ (like the Soviet-authored ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion - millions translated into Arabic) and puppet informants they sent to places liks Syria. Please research this. Lots of good scholarly work avail online. Blessings.
Pat used to be pro Irael and anti Arab until his support of Nazi war criminals and his anger over the Auschwitz controversy (the Carmelite nuns).
“Russia is the birthplace of modern terrorism,” with 19th century Russian nihilists and secret societies advocating a violent overthrow of Tsarist rule.

According to The World Was Going Our Way: The KGB and the Battle for the Third World, a book by historian Christopher Andrew and the KGB operative turned defector Vasili Mitrokhin, the “unexpected surge” of international terrorism in the early 1970s coupled with the successful backing of Sandinista guerrillas in Latin America “encouraged” Moscow to “consider the use of Palestinian terrorists as proxies in the Middle East and Europe.”
These groups, such as the Japanese Red Army, Italy’s Red Brigades, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) and various German organizations all “shared Marxist philosophies, a hatred of America” and “solidarity with the Palestinians,” Lockwood notes. On the latter point, the analyst pointed out: “Palestinian groups were enthusiastic participants in Soviet terror largesse.”
This went hand in glove with the USSR’s propaganda campaign to tar Zionism, the belief in Jewish self-determination, as racism; a tool, it was said, of Western colonialist oppression.
Together, communist-backed terrorist groups pioneered airplane hijackings and the purposeful targeting – including mass murder – of civilians. Indeed, General Alexander Sakharovsky, who headed the KGB’s First Chief Directorate that oversaw operations abroad, bragged in 1971: “Airplane hijacking is my own invention.”
