It has been there for a long time and is worse in Russia.

We are deeply suspicious that people who have never before seemed concerned about the rampant antisemitism in eastern europe only seem concerned now in a way that dovetails with their politics.

This reminds me of how pinkwashing is used regarding LGBT rights and various countries.
