Reply To: Are you the anti-Semite type?

There are “anti-semites” and self-hating Jews. I can identify with the latter having been labeled as such many times here on YWN for expressing a viewpoint that is somewhere between anti-Yeshivish and borderline apikorsus (sometimes both). None of the textbook definitions of “anti-Semitism” is especially helpful in the context of trying to fit the term within the umbrella of “groupism”. About 2 weeks ago, there was a very interesting Congressional hearing (archived on C-Span) about proposed legislation to define “anti=Semitism” for purposes of allowing DOJ to prosecute hate crimes. Among the 5 noted law school professors and reps from ADL etc., there was a mixed view of whether such a definition was either feasible or useful.
