    also from the wiki link:

    Von Mildenstein’s articles explored several questions about the future of Palestine and the viability of Zionism in what he described as the “turbulent Orient”.

    Contrary to the derogatory stereotypes prevalent in Nazi propaganda, von Mildenstein depicted the Jewish settlers in Palestine as optimistic and industrious, a direct contradiction to the Nazi portrayal of Jews.

    from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_antisemitism:

    Jewish scholar Ze’ev Jabotinsky, who developed Revisionist Zionism in the 20th century, wrote:

    Our starting point is to take the typical Yid of today and to imagine his diametrical opposite … because the Yid is ugly, sickly, and lacks decorum, we shall endow the ideal image of the Hebrew with masculine beauty. The Yid is trodden upon and easily frightened and, therefore, the Hebrew ought to be proud and independent. The Yid is despised by all and, therefore, the Hebrew ought to charm all. The Yid has accepted submission and, therefore, the Hebrew ought to learn how to command. The Yid wants to conceal his identity from strangers and, therefore, the Hebrew should look the world straight in the eye and declare: “I am a Hebrew!”
