It’s absolutely necessary in this case to be pedantic.

Historical antisemitism is considered to be a special kind of evil, because of the motivation behind it. Jews have been persecuted because they refuse to give allegiance to earthly kings before God - many Christians are also persecuted on this basis, but with Jews there’s thousands of years more of it, and Jews have never had the strength-in-numbers necessary for self-defense in those situations.

So when some radical Communist who happens to be Ashkenazi claims antisemitism on the basis that he is a Jew, I reject that deceitful tactic. He doesn’t believe in God, and therefore the special type of evil in question cannot apply, no matter how malicious the attacks on him may be.

Old Testament Jews might have been that, but unfortunately, by the time of the Talmud, the Talmudic Jews clearly worship themselves over God or earthly kings. Heck, if anything, Bava Metzia 59b indicates that they can ignore God after Mt. Sinai, and that if anything God is their slave who can’t do anything without a majority vote by the Rabbinic council. As far as I’m concerned, thanks to that passage in particular, the Talmudic Jews are not much different than radical Communists who use the Jew card.

Sorry for sounding very cold regarding that, but when the chosen people explicitly backstab God the Father like that by making him weak and dumb, show him that kind of disrespect, that is a really special evil there, even moreso than anti-Semitism. Heck, if it were me in God’s position and the Jews did exactly that, I’d probably remove their chosen status and even eliminate them in anger for that, viewing them has flagrantly broken their covenant with me when they did that. That’s a kind of treachery that I simply cannot forgive.
