Marx was Jewish himself, and wrote a fiery response against an antisemetic piece. He advocated for Jewish liberation.
Source?
Read Marx's On the Jewish Question. It's a response to the extremely anti-semetic The Jewish Question, and Marx basically goes through all of its bullshit and concludes that while religion is used by Capitalism to reinforce itself, he advocates for emancipation of religious people themselves. He was an atheist of Jewish descent.
