==Antisemitism and Jewish identity== According to the social-psychologist Simon Herman, antisemitism plays a part in shaping Jewish identity.<ref>Herman, Simon N. Jewish identity: A social psychological perspective. Transaction Pub, (1989): 51.</ref> This view is echoed by religious leaders such as [[Rabbi]] [[Jonathan Sacks]] who writes that modern Jewish communities and the modern Jewish identity are deeply influenced by [[antisemitism]].<ref>[http://www.firstthings.com/article/2008/09/003-love-hate-and-jewish-identity-12 Love, Hate, and Jewish Identity] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120414202138/http://www.firstthings.com/article/2008/09/003-love-hate-and-jewish-identity-12 |date=14 April 2012 }}, by Jonathan Sacks. ''First Things'', November 1997.</ref> [[Right-wing antisemitism]], for example, is typically a branch of white supremacy: it traditionally conceives of Jews as a distinct race with intrinsic, undesirable qualities that must be exterminated from the population. [[Left-wing antisemitism]], by contrast, frequently views Jews as members of the white race, an idea that is a precursor to the criticism of Zionism as a racist ideology, as well as the exclusion of Jews from goals of intersectionality.<ref>Arnold, Sina. βFrom Occupation to Occupy.β Indiana University Press, Sept. 2022, https://iupress.org/9780253063137/from-occupation-to-occupy/.</ref>
