Scholarship, not politics: Reply to Eidelson (2025).
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Eidelson's (2025) commentary misses the point of our article (Walker et al., 2025), which reviews the history of antisemitism within the psychology profession and calls for the American Psychological Association to acknowledge its past and to proactively address the recent rise in antisemitism. Our scholarship is consistent with that of others in the field (e.g., Winston, 2020). We refute some of the commentary's (Eidelson, 2025) specific misinterpretations of statistics we cite and mention recent studies related to the negative psychological impact of antisemitic campus activism on a significant subset of Jewish students. Eidelson's focus on our choice of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, his focus on what he thinks of as our failure to condemn Israel, and his mistaken discrediting of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report statistics reported in our article obscure the central goal of the article, thus politicizing the issue rather than furthering scholarship in the area.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
