The Times of Israel - Jewish Standard
Dear Rabbi Zahavy,
My neighbor is Jewish, but from many of the things he says about Jews and Israel, I think he is an anti-Semite, who expresses antagonism towards anyone who is not an Orthodox Jew. Lately he has invoked the policies of the State of Israel towards the non-Orthodox to support his attitudes.
First, how is that possible – that a Jew can be such an open anti-Semite? And more important, what can I say or do to bring this person back in line?

Dear Buffering,
Yes, it is a terrible fact that a Jew can be an anti-Semite.
