Core Principles
Collective Identity Matters in Law. Legal systems routinely recognize group-based identities—gender, race, disability, indigeneity, nationality. Jewish peoplehood belongs within this analytic frame and cannot be coherently addressed through religion-only or individualist paradigms.
Jew-hatred Is a Legal Problem, Not Merely a Social One. Antisemitism operates through law as well as outside it—through doctrinal gaps, misclassifications, and failures of enforcement. Understanding its legal dimensions is essential to ensuring Jewish equality.
History and Structure Shape Doctrine. Jewish legal vulnerability cannot be understood apart from the long history of diaspora, exclusion, conditional tolerance, and contested sovereignty. Legal analysis that ignores this history risks reproducing the very harms it purports to remedy.
