Imagine a French politician saying my job is to keep my constituency pro-Japan (or any other country).

Some ACTUAL antisemites believe or pretend to believe all sorts of tropes about "inherently greedy jews", though, so felt the need to distance myself from that kind of nonsense just in case someone got the wrong idea 🤷
