*aka “self-loathing jew”*
(auto-anti-semitism)
.
Self-hating Jew is a pejorative term used for a Jew who is alleged to hold antisemitic views
.
Although similar accusations of being uncomfortable with one’s Jewishness were already being made by groups of Jews against one another before Zionism existed as a movement, the concept gained widespread currency after Theodor Lessing’s 1930 book Der jüdische Selbsthaß (“Jewish Self-hatred”), which tried to explain the prevalence of Jewish intellectuals inciting anti-semitism with their views toward Judaism
.
*the term became “something of a key term of ‘opprobrium’ in + beyond cold war-era debates about ‘zionism’*
