Left-wing claims of Jewish supremacism

Accusations of argued Jewish supremacy are usually dismissed as antisemitism. However, some academics and writers have alleged Jewish supremacism, often in relation to Israel and Zionism. Author Minna Rozen writes that 17th century Jews who lived in Jerusalem were supremacist in their views that they were superior over other Jews.[1] Ilan Pappé, an Israeli historian, writes that the First Aliyah to Israel "established a society based on Jewish supremacy."[2] Joseph Massad, a Professor of Arab Studies, holds that "Jewish supremacism" always has been a "dominating principle" in religious and secular Zionism.[3][4]

Right-wing claims of Jewish supremacism

Many white nationalists and white separatists have made controversial claims alleging Jewish supremacism.

Kevin B. MacDonald, known for his controversial theory of Judaism as a group evolutionary strategy, has been accused by the Anti-Defamation League[5] and his own university psychology department[6] of being antisemitic and a white supremacist in his writings on the subject. However, prominent rabbis have, in fact, explicitly made claims regarding purported Jewish superiority.[7][8]

Another of the most prominent and controversial books on purported Jewish supremacy is Jewish Supremacism: My Awakening to the Jewish Question by American white nationalist politician and former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. In the book, Duke claims that there is a powerful Jewish supremacist element in Judaism and Zionism that is great threat to both Gentiles and secular Jews. In the book, Duke also makes the controversial claim of Jewish control over media and politics. Much like MacDonald, Duke has also been heavily condemned, particularly by organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Wikipedia for the highly politically incorrect nature of the book.[9]

Claims of discrimination amongst different Jewish ethnic groups

Ethiopian Jews are often said to be victims of racism from other Jewish ethnic groups in Israel.[10]
