Self-hating Jew
The terms "self-hating Jew", "self-loathing Jew", and "auto-antisemite" (, ) are pejorative terms used to describe Jews that oppose certain characteristics that the claimant considers core to Jewish identity. Early claims of self-hate were used to describe Jews who had internalized anti-Semitic tropes, including prominent Zionists such as Theodor Herzl.

The term was also used to describe Jewish people whose viewpoints, especially favoring Jewish assimilation, Jewish secularism, limousine liberalism, or anti-Judaism are perceived as reflecting self-hatred.
