Formerly an anti-Semite was somebody who hated Jews because they were Jews and had a Jewish soul. But nowadays an anti-Semite is somebody who is hated by Jews.

Hajo Meyer

There is no greater anti-Semite that the Jewish one, and none hates the Jewish people more than the Jewish traitor and apostate.

Meir Kahane

The paradox of anti-Semitism is that it is invariably up to the Jews to explain away the charges. The anti-Semite simply has to make them.

Jack Schwartz

I'm an anti-Semite but I love Jews.

Mikis Theodorakis

For the anti-Semite, the problems of the world can invariably be ascribed to the Jews; for the Communist, to the capitalists.

Bret Stephens

Not every anti-Semite is Joseph Goebbels. You can not like Jews much and be no great harm to them.

Howard Jacobson

I suppose if I had said television was more popular than Jesus, I would have gotten away with it. I'm sorry I opened my mouth. I'm not anti-God, anti-Christ, or anti-religion. I wasn't knocking it or putting it down. I was just saying it as a fact and it's true more for England than here. I'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is. I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.

John Lennon

An anti-Semite used to mean a man who hated Jews. Now it means a man who is hated by Jews.

Joseph Sobran

We are now in a position to understand the anti-Semite. He is a man who is afraid. Not of the Jews, to be sure, but of himself, of his own consciousness, of his liberty, of his instincts, of his responsibilities, of solitariness, of change, of society, and of the world of everything except the Jews.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Germans must fight Jews, that organized body of world criminals against whom Christ, the greatest anti-Semite of all time, had fought.

Julius Streicher

There is more than a morsel of truth in the saying, "He who hates vice hates mankind."

William Macneile Dixon

The presence of a Jew in any movement no more guarantees it to be innocent of antisemitism than guilty. And that applies to anti-Zionism, too. Anti-Zionist Jews exist, but that tells one nothing about anti-Zionism.

Howard Jacobson

Who hates the Jews more than the Jew?

Henry Miller

a call girl is simply someone who hates poverty more than she hates sin.

Sydney Biddle Barrows

An antisemite used to be someone who hates Jews; nowadays an antisemite is someone Jews hate.

Gilad Atzmon

When one set of Jews labels another set of Jews 'anti-Semitic,' they are trying to monopolize the right to speak in the name of the Jews. So the allegation of anti-Semitism is actually a cover for an intra-Jewish quarrel.
