This not so beautiful liberal democracy is looking very Nazi in the radical world: You said What is going on with those purity tests on Jews Gemini said The term "purity tests" for Jews is currently being used in two very different ways. Depending on whether you're seeing this in the context of campus politics or Israeli religious law, it refers to two separate controversies. 1. Ideological "Purity Tests" (Social & Political) In the U.S. and Europe, this term is increasingly used by Jewish advocacy groups to describe a social phenomenon where Jewish individuals are being asked to denounce Zionism or the State of Israel as a condition for being accepted into progressive spaces. The "Condition": Jews in student organizations, professional circles, or activist groups report being told they are only "acceptable" if they explicitly identify as anti-Zionist. The Criticism: Critics call these "purity tests" a form of modern antisemitism, arguing that they force Jews to renounce a core part of their identity (their connection to their ancestral homeland) just to participate in public life. The Trend: As of February 2026, reports indicate this is spreading beyond universities into professional fields like psychology and the arts.
