The comment by anonymous is another example of leftists' anti-Semitism wherein the concern is not anti-Semitism in and of itself but whether it affects their agenda.

...making the person no different than the right, which also only cares about anti-Semitism when it relates to their agenda. I note as well that Mr. MacShane is a Labour MP.

The problem with your statement is that anti-Semitism on the right is out of the mainstream. Anti-Semitism on the left is coming into the mainstream, however much you may not like it.

In some ways, as PG noted in another comments thread, it has become "structural" or "institutionalized" by political organizations and law enforcement of various countries, countries that have prided themselves as "progressive".
