8. I'm not defending the right wing in Europe.

I was only making some observations about how politics sometimes creates unusual allies.

However, and far more importantly, it's undeniable that a large and ever increasing amount of antisemitism originates from the left for a multitude of reasons, none of them reasonable or excusable. Complaining about the right doesn't change this fact or excuse the antisemitism of those with whom you might otherwise share political positions.
