Hi Karen,

I would say, that 'Likudnik', of itself, is a slur, not general anti-Semitism, because accusing any US official of putting Israel's interests first (or any other country's) in front of the US is a serious accusation of official misconduct.

If, however, you can substantiate a pattern of picking out just the Jewish officials and accusing only them of being 'Likudniks' (when many non-Jews promote the same policy, but don't get accused), then the old anti-Semitic tropes of judging the Jews by different, special standards and accusing the Jews of dual loyalty raise their heads.

See the distinction?
