The issue is that I am objecting that you are allowing statements to be seen as civil and supportive that could arouse antisemitic feelings, lead Jews to feel put down, lead Jews to feel that their faith is being put down and statements that put down Jews or Judaism itself

You wrote [... a subset of readers could think that it is unlikely that my actions, (Lou), would lead Jews to feel I'm putting down their faith...].
Your actions could be that you will not post a repudiation to posts that have anti-Semitic propaganda in them. If that is what you mean, there could be a subset of readers that think otherwise than your subset proposed. And your rule is to not post what could lead one to feel that their faith is being put down, which is not overruled in your TOS/FAQ by that someone else may not think that.
Those that think that your actions of allowing antisemitism to be seen as supportive here where they are originally posted, have a rational basis to think that your actions at least have IMHO the potential to think that your actions could lead Jews to feel that your are putting down their faith because you say that being supportive takes precedence and that statements that put down those of other faiths or could lead one to think that their faith is being put down, are not supportive. And the fact that you say that you do what in your thinking will be good for this community as a whole, that subset of readers could think that you are putting down Jews because you think that it will be good for this community as a whole to do so by allowing anti-Semitic propaganda to be seen as supportive here. Your actions could then be considered by that subset of readers to constitute creating and developing anti-Semitic hate here, by controlling what is considered to be supportive by your thinking by saying that being supportive takes precedence.
