I've been lurking on a BlueSky thread where a Zionist is saying that he can't be antisemitic because he claims to be Jewish. The Jerusalem Declaration: "Antisemitism is discrimination, prejudice, hostility or violence against Jews as Jews (or Jewish institutions as Jewish)" https://jerusalemdeclaration.org/ doesn't rule out antisemitism, by virtue of the perpetrator claiming to be Jewish.

Australian Zionist Mark Leibler provided a case study. The image is of a certified copy archived by the NSW state Parliament. https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/lcdocs/other/21800/X%20post%20%E2%80%93%20Mark%20Leibler,%208%20February%202025.pdf

Would a court rule that the words "repulsive and revolting" and "vicious antisemites" aimed at Jews is antisemitic? Those words are certainly hostile and prejudiced. The apparent deletion of the post implies the answer. Leibler is a lawyer.
