Kronecker was Jewish but converted to Christianity a year before his
death. I have no idea whether he was anti-Semitic.

Cantor was not Jewish.

Frege, though, was an anti-Semite.

Do you really think that has anything to do with the
current discussions?

I don't know how important the matter is in the minds of some people,
but certain posters have called set theory 'Jewish mathematics'. And
another poster mentioned Fraenkel's Zionsim, with no explanation for
the mention even when asked. And throughout the history of set theory
it has been attacked for being "Jewish mathematics".
