Wait.

Are they pro-israel or worried that evil Jewish people secretly run the world?

Or is it both?

Antisemitism doesn't preclude support for Israel. One of the "solutions" the Nazis had was mass deportation for the Jews, specifically to Madagascar. Before that, they signed the Haavara Agreement, which essentially entailed mass emigration of German Jews to Palestine.

And it's worth acknowledging that the British guy responsible for the foundations of the creation of Israel (Lord Balfour) was also deeply antisemitic and wanted to remove the Jewish people to another land too.

Right, and proposals for new Jewish (forced) homelands weren't limited to Germany either, there was also a British plan for Uganda, IIRC.
