Charging antisemitism always carried a claim for Jewish rights

Evidence

In other words, objections to antisemitism were never just that. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries antisemitism was identified with an assault on equal rights. This conception of antisemitism did not disappear in the inter-war years. Indeed, the victories of National Socialism in Germany and Austria illustrated its continuing relevance. After 1945 the campaign against antisemitism extended to Jews in the Soviet Union. For some this was a fight to secure Jews their rights under the Soviet constitution, for others it was Jews’ human rights that were at stake, and for others still the campaign for Jews to be allowed to leave the USSR and go to Israel was a struggle for their national rights as Jews. — Runnymede Trust (ed.
