Antisemtism has always been fashionable among the elite left; what we're seeing now is it taking root in the Foot Soldier left, the great unwashed section of your party.

Nah - it's still very much a small, elite phenomenon. Even among college students, you'll notice that only a handful of schools had material protests - and then, highly concentrated among elite selective schools. You didn't see folks skipping classes to live in tents at community colleges, for example. It was mainly a phenomenon at a very limited number of elite institutions: elite colleges, literary fora and magazines, and some of the most online of progressive/liberal communities.

Which is why, I think, you'll see most of us Jews will continue to heavily support the Democratic party and the left. We know that between the folks reading Edward Said or Stormfront, we're far better off with the former than the latter.
