I can't speak for others, but I see most anti-Jewish racism as stemming from the same sort of identity politics that the Left so masterfully wields.
I'd argue that it's a direct result of the left's identity politics.
"The banks are screwing us."
"That's anti-Semitic!"
"George Soros is an evil man."
"That's anti-Semitic!"
"All these rootless globalist cosmopolitans are really fucking everything up."
"That's anti-Semitic!"
"Guess I might as well be anti-Semitic then, because apparently the Jews are behind everything."
I just wish, just once, that a prominent Jewish person would come out and say, "yeah, there's some pretty fucking corrupt Jews. The ones involved in screwing Ye over should knock it off." Instead it's a lockstep "anti-Semitism bad!" chorus. I had to skip through most of Rubin's show because I'm sick of it.
