What's striking about #3, beyond the bog-standard antisemitic trope, is that it's dripping w fundamentally conservative nationalism. "Foreign powers are subverting honest decent Britain!" Nah mate, the UK ruling class' alliance with Israel's is about mutual strategic interest.
This is the deeper level of antisemitism in how so much of the left thinks about Israel. When UK politicians ally with Erdogan or the Saudi royals, most people don't start looking for conspiratorial subversion, but the self-interest of our own rulers. Apply the same to Israel.
Capitalism isn't a conspiracy but an open social system based on the material interests of the capitist class - that applies to both "Rothschilds control the economy" and "Netanyahu controls international relations"
