I just discovered that the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's "working definition of antisemitism" is this: "Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.

Well a positive perception isn't antisemitism. The certain perception which is antisemitism is the one that follows?
