There are hard left extremists who may be Jewish or have some kind of Jewish ancestry they assert as a shield against their support of antisemitic movements. Adored as tokens it’s cheque-mate if you engage with their “as a Jew” claims. Engage with them as the antisemites they are
And we don’t need to have any shyness or make any apology for putting up firewalls to protect our community from antisemites and Jews who’ve internalised antisemitism and gone over to assist of antisemites. They’re not fragile lost sheep. They’re antisemites.
I think our first responsibility is to protect the community - not to get bogged down in the icky fucked up psychology of those fringe Jews whose heads are screwed and help those who hurt us
And we’re being silly if we don’t acknowledge that this problem is predominately a (hard) left phenomenon. We should treat Jewish leftwing facilitators of antisemitism with the same contempt & communal disdain as we do (rare) right wing Kahanist extremists - as I argue here
