"Self-hating Jew" / "kapo"

Slur aimed at Jewish critics of Israeli policy — journalists, academics, rights workers, protesters.

What it signals

Enforces the claim that Jewish identity requires support for state policy — which is itself an antisemitic premise, holding Jews to a political litmus test.

How to answer

Defend Jewish critics unequivocally, and note the irony: the slur does what it accuses others of — telling Jews what they must believe to count.
