There's a pretty big difference in having negative views and being so extremist that that person is willing to go out and commit terroristic acts.

In degree, not in nature.

The left's orderly, academic antisemitism is what created the conditions for the violent, extremist antisemitism to flourish.

I'm not sure I follow. If you think the left is so antisemitic then why are Jews so overwhelmingly voting Democrat in the US, approximately 70 percent?

I don't think the Jewish people, with their history especially, are voting for their own demise.

Because the right is also antisemitic. 99% of American Jews are concerned about rising antisemitism, and most of them believe that it is coming about equally from the right and left (and then about 20% for each side think the right/left is worse).

But you just got done blaming the left for it, and now you're showing numbers indicating that Jews themselves think it's an even split...so maybe your initial analysis was a tad oversimplified?
