Voltaire's antisemitism was part and parcel of his enormous hatred

Your Majesty will do the human race an eternal service by extirpating this infamous superstition" (letter to Frederick II, King of Prussia, dated 5 January 1767).
Indeed he was NOT fond of religions - reason/evidence
was much more to his liking.
But this didn't make him a 'fascist' - hadn't been
invented yet regardless.
