I talked a bit about that on this board already back in October. It was the time when some posters were outdoing themselves in finding more bizarre explanations for why rape is not that bad when the victim is Jewish. I was trying to be contained and to not risk outing etc., but I will try again. I overly rely on sarcasm and cynicism but hopefully...
We all know signs of traditional, religious antisemitism. There are still churches in Germany and France* decorated with imaginary of The Jewish man, your generic Chasidic, pardon but that's it, penetrating a pig. I am only 30, but even my grandparents after the war haven't heard anyone seriously believing that Jews are bad because they killed our beloved Lord Jesus. However, stereotypes that are rooted in this era are still alive. Doesn't matter protestant or catholic country the idea that Jews are cunning and powerful is still there. Of course we know there is also jealousy.
*Italy and Spain possible too, but I do not have any proofs.
Jewish communities, even secular organised around principles of Judaism, so poor Jews, while poor could count on richer members of the community - funeral funds, school scholarships, Purim is all about sharing.
However, if you live in poor conditions, work 12 hours a day, and next to you is a community that might be also poor, but somehow there are also tightness and solidarity that you cannot understand it is easy to, firstly feel envious, but than only pure resentment. And of course such divide is desired by politicians.
However, after the war antisemitism gain yet another face.
It's funny. People are so repulsed by communism, probably not many people during Cold War supported Russia, and yet they are suckers for soviet propaganda. There is already a body of literature on left wing antisemitism inspired by Soviets, but I want to talk only about the slogan - anti zionist, not antisemitic.
This slogan emerged in Poland, during political crisis of March 68.
It started as student protest after The Party censored 'Dziady' but quickly became the final of the battle within The Party which started 10 years earlier.
After Stalin died things became a bit more relaxed in Poland - culturally but also economically. However, long story short, there was a need for new ideological explanation for communist regime in Poland, and people who won had no ethical problem with using a trick they learnt in Moscow - blame the Jews. So, yes, Jewish communists were in loosing faction of The Party, Jewish intellectuals were too engaged in organising democratic opposition. Fifth element, you had to choose if you are Polish (and patriotic, thus you wanted communist rule) or you are Jewish and cunning and you care only about yourself. Then you had to go to Israel, with nothing and without Polish citizenship. Zionist to Israel, writers to pens, students to books, workers to work. That's how you deal with unrest. This, and beatings of students and workers at the streets. Moscow to this day has The Jew as useful tool. I have heard anecdotes, told with typical jewish humor, but to this day when something goes wrong in Russia you now who is responsible.
I linked this picture before. In the picture, a father, who lost all his family in Holocaust, (a mother has similar story) cries and hugs his son for the last time in their life. That is antizionism in full light.
It the end it was not the last time, however it never heals. They were not religious, they never taught their sons a thing about Judaism, not a word of jidisz. They wanted to stay in Poland after the war, they wanted their children to grow up in Poland.
Every one who says they are not antiemetic but antizionist is aware what that means.
(Sorry, that's ranty)
Edit: sorry, I was typing for so long that now it looks even more random.
