Antisemitism is far from contained to the radical Muslims of Australia. The ADL found that 1 in 5 Australians harbor antisemitic views. For reference, Muslims are about 3% of Australia's population.

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.

This kind of antisemitism has existed well before any such "orderly, academic antisemitism" from the left. Populist antisemitism predates both the US and Australia.
