I want to address this more specifically than my original post intended.
I understand what people mean by this--though there's also an element of condemning Jews being pushed out (literally marginalized from) social justice communities. I really, strongly disagree with the premise that antisemitism is uniquely erased in communities which seek some kind of social justice. I want to explain a bit more where I am coming from with this post, because I think it is important for our community to understand. Let me first say that I personally experience a pretty intense, and a bit abnormally high?, amount of antisemitism in the social justice communities I am engaged in.
Some of that is from an actual Holocaust denier who is a prominent leader in disability communities. Any time I bring up antisemitism, I am dismissed.
Antisemitism is not uniquely reproduced by spaces which seek to advocate for some kind of social justice.
But, any time I bring up racism, as a white person, I get chewed out for it. When I bring up transphobia (I am a trans woman), even my allies tell me "some people are uncomfortable with that." Women's rights are also a "difference of opinion." I almost always run into situations where even acknowledging the basic humanity of Palestinians--much less being actually supportive of Palestinian liberation!--leads to conflict with PEPs* and their supporters.
(*Progressive Except Palestine. On that note, it does not escape my mind how folks who complain about antisemitism in the way you describe are all too comfortable with marginalizing Palestinians and Palestinian death. Are we not also responsible for our communities? I know for a fact that you, the person who I am responding to, will make community with Zionists, while also seeing what Zionism is doing in Palestine. Are we not also complicit? Is antisemitism in social justice communities really more unique or harmful than anti-Palestinian racism in social justice communities? How do we lecture when we do not do the work? I think that's a real question that deserves a real answer.)
Now, there's open questions for me as to how/if to engage with these groups, coalitions, and communities, etc. when they are openly antisemitic to me and few people will even listen to me about why that's a problem. Sometimes it is important to engage and sometimes it is important to build around. Whatever I do, I make sure to act in solidarity with the numerous people of color and trans people in those spaces and pushed out of those spaces. As in, literally, I work with them. That is the only way to get through this and this is something that other marginalized communities have already discussed. In the notes of this post, people of color are discussing this, for example.
Again, I, sadly, understand feeling angry at the ways communities will reproduce antisemitism while not acknowledging that they do it. I am currently literally wracking my brain over how literal actual "six million Jews did not die in the Holocaust" tweets aren't career ending in the disability rights movement. I feel very fucking irate about this! I fully understand the mental anguish associated with people just failing to give a shit about Jews.
At the same time, I must acknowledge that this is not a unique feeling and there is safety in solidarity with my friends who are similarly marginalized by these racist, misogynist, anti-LGBTQ, Islamophobic, and xenophobic movements. It is also important to distinguish between fueling antisemitism and using antisemitism, which the progressive Jewish group Bend The Arc describes: https://www.bendthearc.us/understanding_antisemitism_fueling_vs_using
On confronting antisemitism: We all have a lot of work to do to challenge antisemitism and it's going to be increasingly frustrating work as antisemitism becomes more and more normalized. Both covert antisemitism (Soros conspiracy theories) and overt antisemitism ("Christ is king, synagogue of Satan") are becoming more acceptable in mainstream politics. It certainly doesn't help that Zionist politicians in both the U.S. and the State of Israel will promote the covert antisemitism and, occasionally, overt antisemitism but specifically about anti-Zionist or left-wing or diaspora Jews! We need to get serious about this. Part of getting serious about it is acknowledging antisemitism is not aberrant and expecting it. We need to expect conflict. You need to be brave about confronting it through the very annoying process of coalition organizing and solidarity work. Retreating from it--and, especially, retreating into racism--will not work. Luckily, maybe, we are not actually alone in this dynamic.
As Jews, understanding that our struggles aren't completely unique can help us recognize opportunities for solidarity against a white supremacist system which produces antisemitic violence and antisemitic ideology alongside structural racism and racial terrorism. Our struggles are clearly intertwined--the same ideology which murdered dozens of Muslims attending their Mosques in Christchurch and Black shoppers in Buffalo and Latin American shoppers in El Paso also murdered a dozen Jews at the Tree of Life Synagogue. We need to act like it. We need to do the work, just like, horrifically, other marginalized communities are forced to do.
