The leftist-version of antisemitism is antisemitism. In a study [1] done by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) this becomes clear. On page 29 a graph shows the answers to the following question:
"Thinking about the incident in which somebody attacked or threatened you in a way that frightened you because you are Jewish – who did this to you?"
The answers are, to some, surprising. There are 7 countries listed (Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Sweden and the UK). In only one those countries (Hungary) "right-wing" political views played a majority role. In two countries (Hungary and Germany) "right-wing" political views were a bigger threat than "left-wing" views. In three countries (France, Sweden and the UK) "left-wing" political views were a bigger threat than "right-wing" views. In one country (Italy) they are identical threats.
Less surprising is that the biggest threat overall is neither "left-wing" nor "right-wing": in five out of seven countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden and the UK) "muslim-extremist" views were the biggest threat factor, usually by a very large margin. The lowest threat came from those with "christian-extremist" views, only in one country (Hungary) were these a bigger threat that those with "muslim-extremist" views.
