1. A serious question so please don't misunderstand when

I ask because I'm genuinely interested in your answer. In your analysis of these people who are anti-Semitic on the Left do you think that they are just that way anyway or is it something about being Left that makes, fosters or draws people like that? The reason I'm asking is I know the things on the Right that draw those people and the policies etc. so I'm interested as to what the Left could do to not draw people who are disposed to anti-Semitism or to not foster it or to push them to go elsewhere.

I mean these questions outside of the Israel/Palestine matters and any military issues. I'm intending to try and understand the political wings regarding "every day ordinary" anti-Semitic views and behavior like restricting social organization memberships, restricting employment/advancement etc. I know the basic history etc. but I'm trying to come to a better understanding of things like whether that basic sort of discrimination I referenced is foundational to the more virulent people and if it is reinforced by a "carryover" of sorts in the Left from that more basic form then what might be changed or implemented with Left policies etc. to deal with that "carryover" or remainder to begin to alleviate the more basic forms taking hold or being furthered.
