What Makes One Anti-Semitic?

[Hugh Lincoln]

1. Hating all Jews for no other reason than they're Jews

2. Opposing the political goals of Jews as a group because they conflict with yours

3. Speaking out against the genocide of Palestinians

4. Failing to support everything Israel does

5. Being a Christian

6. Being non-Jewish

7. Shooting a random Jew for fun, and no other reason

8. Believing that America's interests should come before Israel's

9. Feeling uncomfortable with the ethnocentrism of Jews

10. Saying anything about Jews as a group that isn't 100 percent positive

1, for obvious reasons.

3, because it's bullshit.

7, for obvious reasons.

9, for being a pussy.

I think it's OK to dislike the objective traits of various groups of people. For example if you are against inbreeding it's OK to dislike the Hasidic Jews because they intentionally inbreed. If you are not materialistic maybe it's OK to dislike Jews in general because they are very concerned with money. Or maybe it's alright to dislike the European Jews who move to Israel and displace people who've been there for many generations because that's not fair.

But if it's something irrational like "because they killed Jesus" or "because they created the Holocaust myth" or "because they have ugly noses", then it's Anti-Semitism. Irrational hatred.
