This took about 10 seconds to find:This may be the dumbest take yet in the Politics Forum. Anti-semitism has never been a leftist belief in the US or anywhere else. It has long been a practice of rightists, Nazis and KKK members. Most American Jews are Democrats. And, by the way, opposing Israel is not an anti-Semitic position. I know several Jews who oppose Israel.
THERE'S NOTHING NEW about the upsurge in recent months of leftist theories about Jewish conspiracies, particularly in Europe. Anti-Semitism has long been established in the history of the radical left. It reached its peak in the Soviet repression and mass murder of Jewish Bolsheviks during the 1920s and 1930s. And it found tragic repetition in the early 1950s, when Joseph Stalin launched new purges against the Communist elite both in Moscow and in Eastern Europe.
