Antizionists explaining that the Jews are to blame for the violence their movement was founded upon (it’s not antisemitic because their paternal grandfather converted with the reform movement)

Sure, also not the meaning I took away. Even if grandpa was born Jewish, the speaker in the hypothetical isn’t halachically Jewish. So why mention Reform or conversion at all except to imply that conversion and being Reform create greater distance from authenticity.

Reform Jews who are Jewish by patrilineal descent where there was no conversion are not halakhicly Jews either tho
