What are you talking about specifically? I've only heard this said by liberals in reference to his essay On the Jewish Question, which as I've understood it is just a critique of the liberal conception of rights.

There's a reason people only cite that one short passage from On the Jewish Question when discussing Marx's alleged antisemitism. How is it he can write a whole essay literally titled "On the Jewish Question" and they can only find one paragraph that is antisemitic? Perhaps because Marx was not actually antisemitic.
The entire purpose of the essay also is to defend the Jews right to have actual political rights without being made to convert and assimilate away from their beliefs and culture.

He wrote one offhanded Jewish joke in all of Capital which is amazing considering it's length and it's topic.
