Marxist: you seem to be equating emancipation of Jews as not an anti-Semitic idea. The concept of ’emancipation’ comes from the Enlightenment, and is a very much against religion as a whole. Arguably the foremost Enlightenment philosopher, Emanuel Kant greatly admired Mendelssohn but disparaged Solomon Maimon, not for lack of knowledge, but rather because he viewed Maimon as a backwards Jew.
By suggesting that Jews need to be emancipated, they are implying that Jews as Jews are not tolerable. That is antisemitism.
