Assimilated Jews could be seen as antisemites by less-assimilated Jewish communities

Evidence

In the eyes of the Jewish bourgeoisie of Paris they were the incarnation of nationalist raideur… that attitude of distant disdain which the gentry affects towards its parvenu co-religionists. Their desire to assimilate completely to Gallic modes, to live on intimate terms with our old-established families, to occupy the most distinguished positions in the state, and the contempt which they showed for the commercial elements of Jewry, for the recently naturalized ‘Polaks’ of Galicia, gave them almost the appearance of traitors against their own race… The Dreyfuses of 1894? Why, they were anti-semites!” — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2134
