So leftists attacking and murdering Jews in the streets and at synagogues isn't antisemitic on your fucked-up worldview?

Completely debunked bullshit. Read the OP, instead of leftist bullshit from years ago.Dr. Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE), underscores the role of antisemitic concepts and rhetoric in the ideology and activities of major far-right groups in the United States, just after extreme right-wing groups, stormed Capitol Hill the day Congress certified Joe Biden as President-Elect. Dr. Beirich outlines the theoretical and organizational evolution of antisemitism amid the ranks of America’s right-wing extremists.
Among the throngs of right-wing extremists who invaded the American Capitol on January 6 egged on by President Donald Trump were neo-Nazis, white supremacists and thousands of supporters of QAnon, a bizarre and increasingly antisemitic conspiracy movement that blames prominent Democrats and well-known Jewish figures such as philanthropist George Soros for engaging in child sex-trafficking This toxic mob attempting to overthrow America’s democratic system on the day Congress was to certify Joe Biden as president-elect is a frightening reminder of the ongoing threat in the U.S. posed by antisemitism
QAnon theories have proliferated across the web in recent years, the threat to Jews in the United States and around the world has increased markedly. On October 27, 2018 the deadliest attack on an American synagogue took place in Pittsburgh at the Tree of Life synagogue. Robert Bowers, an adherent of Kevin MacDonald’s theory that Jews were importing immigrants into the United States thereby furthering white genocide, killed eleven people praying in the synagogue in a shooting spree. The following April, another shooter, motivated by similar beliefs, attacked a synagogue in Poway, California, killing one person.

Leftist extremism is rooted in pro-terrorist, anti=American hate.
Again, partially true, the attacks on campuses, and who knows how widespread they really are, may be outright hatred of Jews, but expressed animosity towards Israel because of their interaction in Gaza I wouldn’t automatically label antisemitism

This happened on multiple campuses across the country. Reports of Jews being harassed, told to go back to Poland (for example) and basically feeling unsafe when they travelled on campus. That goes far beyond disagreeing with Israel's actions.
How many is multiple? Not denying it happened, but the portrayal by the media and especially the Administration of a select number of Ivy League schools experiencing incidents I don’t believe was characteristic across the country or even in those schools
Columbia students setting up an encampment in support of Gaza doesn’t automatically imply antisemitism against Jews

These stories of harassment of Jewish students across the country were covered in the Atlantic, New York Times and the New Yorker, not exactly #MAGA mouth pieces, as well as other progressive publications.
No disrespect but I have no desire to go back and find those articles for you but they're there.
As any honest person has easily observed in recent years.
Antisemitism has moved from the right to the left in the US − and falls back on long‑standing stereotypes
The U.S. is currently experiencing one of the most significant waves of antisemitism that it has ever seen. Jewish communities are shaken and traumatized.
Jewish and civil rights organizations both in the U.S. and in other Western countries reported a rise in antisemitic incidents following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli military response. The Anti-Defamation League reported that in the first week after Hamas’ deadly attack, in which 1,400 Israelis were killed, antisemitic incidents in the U.S. tripled in comparison to the same week last year.
Similarly, London police recorded a 1,353% increase in antisemitic crimes compared with the same period a year earlier.
In addition, antisemitic symbols and rhetoric seem to be part of a growing number of protests that erupted around the globe following the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Most scholars agree that the term “antisemitism” describes animosity and discrimination against Jews. Broader definitions, such as the one adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, include the singling out of Israel and the demonization of its character, such as the claim that “the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.”
My team of researchers at UMass Lowell and Development Service Group, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, compiled and analyzed a comprehensive dataset of antisemitic incidents in the U.S. between 1990 and 2021. We wanted to understand what factors led to antisemitism. We covered violent antisemitism as well as incidents of antisemitic intimidation and vandalism. We included any attacks against Jews which were motivated by the religious identity of the victims – even if it was motivated by anger about Israeli policies.
Traditionally, antisemitism in the United States was promoted by far-right organizations and movements, such as the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazi groups and skinheads. Such groups focused on propagating traditional antisemitic narratives alleging Jews’ racial inferiority, their control of the financial sector and their role in global cabals aiming to undermine America and Western civilization.
More recently, progressive and left-leaning movements that are critical of Israel’s policies – especially with regard to the Palestinian population in the territories occupied by Israel in 1967 – have become linked to antisemitic practices, too.
In a survey conducted in 2018 in 12 European Union countries among victims of antisemitism, 21% indicated that they were physically or verbally attacked by what participants called “left-wing” activists. In the U.S., our data shows that 95% of antisemitic incidents motivated by Israel’s policies were perpetrated by far-left or unidentified activists. Just 5% were perpetrated by known far-right activists.
Further indication that antisemitic violence is no longer the sole domain of far-right extremists can be gleaned from an analysis of our data that looked at the geographic characteristics of antisemitism.
We find that antisemitic hate crimes are occurring especially in politically progressive areas of the country. The New York metropolitan area and the Northeast in general, and urban centers in Florida, California, the Northwest and the Midwest are experiencing the majority of antisemitic incidents.

Antisemitism in the US is growing – and that growth appears to be related to the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. It also reflects a different political ideology than in the past.theconversation.com
By a HUGE margin the most virulent Antisemite on the board is @Guno צְבִי . Notice the Nazi cunt is also a radical leftist.
The left did a calculus and figured out their are more Muslims than Jews - so the left jumped in bed with the Islamo-Nazi scum, like Guno.
Dumbest comment of the day.

You really should learn English sometime, anchovies.
'Multiple' means more than one.
Then you accept his argument.
No one said any such thing, anchovies, other than you. Put down the bong. You are hallucinating again.
Yes it does, anchovies. Supporting HAMAS, and with it, Iran, is antisemitism against Jews.

Shaken, not stirred!
Bottom line: once you conflate being jewish with the government of Israel, then any negative actions by that government is seen as being approved of and endorsed by anyone identifying as jewish. So yeah, antisemitism is going to increase. That it's more by "the left" than "the right" is myopic reporting ... and an acknowledgement that extreme right wing group mentality exists and is active ... something maga mooks are reluctant to fully acknowledge.

There is no such thing as Right-Wing antisemitism. You are such an idiot.
Where has that happened? That recent thing in NYC the guy was a registered republican.
In what way?
You are correct, those events were covered by everyone, especially the Ivies, as fhe current Administration showed, depicting Ivies negatively is popular, but that doesn’t make it widespread. Living in the NE, I am encircled by umpteen colleges and Universities, and I don’t recall it being rampant at any of those campuses.
And again, demonstrations against Israel doesn’t automatically imply antisemitism

I've never stated simply criticizing Israel policy alone is antisemitic. No one is above reproach. Nor were these events happening on every single campus in America. But they were happening on a number of campuses and the harassment and antisemitic statements and actions were very real.
But I get it. This isn't even really about antisemitism per se. It's just another right/left battle over who is the worst offender and people are going to want to protect their own 'side'.
