Yeah, it's a fear response, that's why they want the strong man who will fix things and punish 'the elites' and 'the immigrants' and 'the Jews'.

They want to punish the Jews, yet they also back Israel?

Modern antisemites are heavily zionistic. They see Israel as the answer to the Jewish question, and use the backing of Israel to deflect any accusations of antisemitism.

Hitler's initial plan was to send them to Madagascar. They're happy for Israel to exist, and both Zionists and Neo Nazis are fine with making Jews outside of Israel feel very unsafe.

And by "elites," they mean anyone that might be more intelligent than them, and have the gall to use that intelligence for academic or scientific purposes.

Yeah, of course. The actual elites that own all the wealth are with them as long as they make the right noises. There's no guarantees after they've solidified power though.
