Kronecker

Or to take a random observation by a non-Jew, Eric Temple Bell wrote in his classic popularization Men of Mathematics that the vicious feud between Kronecker and Cantor was heightened by the relatively public nature of disputes between Jews compared to the quiet back-stabbing preferred by Christians.

Conceptual vs. computational approaches in algebraic number theory (Dedekind vs. Kronecker) structural vs intuitive styles in algebraic geometry (German school vs. Italian school)

Mathematical Style Mancosu, Paolo 2009

Even Kronecker said that “God created the integers, all else is the work of man,” but he agreed about zero and negative numbers.

Such general notions of set and function, combined with the acceptance of the actual infinite that gives them bite, were soon attacked by finitistically and constructively oriented mathematicians such as Kronecker.

Kronecker (another famous mathematician) labeled Cantor a corrupter of youth.

Confirmation Bias and ID 2006

Dedekind and Kronecker knew the relevant works well, especially Kummer's; they both tried to refine and extend the latter.

While a few other mathematicians, such as Cantor, used similar ones, many others, like Kronecker, rejected them.

In the late nineteenth century, when the gifted German mathematician Georg Cantor did groundbreaking work to put them on firmer footing, his former teacher, a crab named Leopold Kronecker who “opposed” the irrationals, violently disagreed with Cantor and sabotaged his career at every turn.
