"National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty."-Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvilihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzY-rtvYpKk [

Never got why they have to dress it up so much. Just say you like Jews.
I've questioned how an "active anti-semite" was defined, so I looked into it but can't find a person supposedly executed for this.
>>535366264The Fabricated "Antisemitic" Murder: The Trial of Nikolai Vulfson's Killers (1936)The most direct example of Stalin's regime executing people under the explicit public banner of punishing antisemitism was the May 1936 trial involving the death of Nikolai Vulfson.Vulfson was a Jewish Soviet Arctic explorer and scientist who died under mysterious circumstances during an expedition. Seeking to project an image of a progressive state that fiercely protected its Jewish citizens, the Soviet authorities staged a high-profile trial.The Case: The state accused several individuals on the expedition of murdering Vulfson, explicitly claiming the crime was driven by vicious antisemitic motives.The Outcome: The accused were found guilty and executed.The Reality: Prominent historians (such as Arkady Vaksberg) who later gained access to Soviet archives noted that there was absolutely no evidence that Vulfson’s death was a murder, let alone motivated by antisemitism.
