Check out this excellent article on antisemitism on the left by Joshua S. Block in The Algemeiner:
"For most of us, there is a reflexive tendency to think of antisemitism as something that is propagated by the alt-right — white supremacists, the KKK, or neo-Nazi groups. That version of antisemitism was on full display during the violent protests that rocked Charlottesville last year. For us, Charlottesville was like muscle memory. We’ve seen it before, and we know exactly what it means.
But what happens when the hate comes from somewhere unexpected, somewhere much closer to home? What happens when it comes from your friends and allies, and is disguised as something else?"

Do not miss Block's previous and highly relevant article: Why the Rise of Political Antisemitism Is so Dangerous
"The stakes have never been higher for the Jewish community in the UK. British Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s relentless obsession with Israel has created a dangerous climate of apathy towards antisemitism in the country. The problem is serious enough that nearly 40 percent of British Jews would “seriously consider” emigrating if he ever became prime minister.
Corbyn, the leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition, has given rise to a discourse that fails to distinguish between antisemitism and legitimate criticism of Israel. All lines have been blurred.
The Corbyn effect has shaken British Jewry to its core, with an impact felt far beyond the borders of Britain. The rhetoric deployed by Corbyn and his supporters is remarkably similar to language used by groups and individuals that disseminate antisemitic narratives to isolate and demonize Israel in the global arena."
