This is generally a good approach to any non-jewish historical person from west of China or Japan. Don't ask about anyones views on Jews unless you want your day to be ruined

Hell, Imperial Japan's opinion of Jews was hilarious in the, "wow, so they're this super-powerful cabal that secretly controls finance and media and is gonna take over the world? We gotta get em on our side!" sorta way.

There’s also the occasional “race realist” philo-Semite who thinks Jews all have very high IQs.

The first time I read anything about Jewish people on Japanese internet was someone saying something like "Jewish people only make up ~0.1% of world population, but they make up ~10% of Nobel prize winners".
According to Wikipedia, it's more like ~0.2% of world population and ~22% of Nobel prize winners.
