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.

[upside-down certification stamp, dated 19/05/2025] Mark Leibler @LeiblerMark  Nothing, but nothing, is worse than those Jews who level totally  unfounded allegations of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the  State of Israel. They are repulsive and revolting human beings. Their  relatives who were murdered by the Nazis - the role models for Hamas -  will undoubtedly be turning in their graves. Their avowed anti Zionism is  clearly no more than a cover for the reality that they are vicious  antisemites.  11:11PM - Feb 8, 2025 - 339.1K Views
