Outside of the US context, but antisemitism on the left (and right) is reasonably common in France.
One report explained, "For a particular left, anti-Semitism is of an economic nature. The Jew is no longer the murderer of Christ, nor the representative of an inferior race, but the sovereign banker, businessmen. In pro-Palestinian demonstrations, banners bearing the inscription "Gaza the new Shoah" do not bother the far-left leaders present. The discourse of the far left is simplistic: Israel is a colonialist state and therefore a state where apartheid reigns and Zionism is a form of colonialism, colonialism is racism and Jews are racist and are like Nazis.” (PDF: https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Religion/Submissions/CAP.pdf https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Religion/Submissions/...)

- gher-shyu3i 5y agoIt's sickening how standing against the suffering of the Palestinians is used to claim anti-semitism. "Gaza the new Shoah" is absolutely not antisemitic, it's plain fact.
