'Louis Harap defines cultural antisemitism as 'that species of anti-Semitism that charges the Jews with corrupting a given culture and attempting to supplant or succeeding in supplanting the preferred culture with a uniform, crude, 'Jewish' culture.

Similarly, Eric Kandel characterizes cultural antisemitism as being based on the idea of “Jewishness” as a 'religious or cultural tradition that is acquired through learning, through distinctive traditions and education.' According to Kandel, this form of antisemitism views Jews as possessing 'unattractive psychological and social characteristics that are acquired through acculturation.'

An important feature of cultural antisemitism is that it considers the negative attributes of Judaism to be redeemable by education or religious conversion.'- Wikipedia
