White supremacists condemn Ukraine conflict as a 'brother war'; some blame Jews

White supremacists around the world have largely condemned the violence in Ukraine as a “brother war” between two white European countries, researchers of extremism have said.

Opinions about the war are varied, and it’s not clear if the majority of far-right extremists side with Russia or Ukraine, but most sympathize with Ukrainian civilians. Some have blamed Jews for the conflict, calling it a conspiracy.

“The overarching narrative or agreement, if there was one, is the idea of this being a ‘brother war,’ so basically a white Christian nation versus another white Christian nation, and that is something a lot of these groups have spoken out against,” said Callum Farley, an investigative researcher with the Anti-Defamation League.

The ADL released a report on Thursday detailing the extremist response to the war, mostly based on public and private chats and statements by the far-right, white supremacists, and others.

It's been on par with hollow-Earth theory in the US that Jews were the masterminds of the wars.

How to explain the Holocaust? It didn't happen. Or the Jews killed were really Khazars and not "true Jews". Or it was rich Jews sacrificing poor Jews for the good of the whatever.

Yes, Putin wants to "denazify" a country with a Jewish president. The problem is simple: most CTs are flexible enough to include their opposites. You lance them with a fact here, they form a hole and spread there. Confirmation bias, sort of a negative halo effect, yada-yada.
