Ah! A most interesting concept of moving that bar to include liberals as moderates! That would not only be an accurate move to distinguish between the two differing ideologies currently merged as one, but greatly needed imo. Considering the huge difference in population size and comparing previous elections to 2022, there are just too many voters expected to hold the same political viewpoints. US voters are bursting at the seams with only having two major parties cutting it down to 2 options.
On topic: I found this after reading Lisa‘s posts and your own Dogmaphobe:
“The first thing to notice is that liberals and leftists usually try and reduce anti- Semitism to a purely right-wing anachronism or neo-Nazi phenomenon. In other words, they invariably ignore latent or overt racism in their own camp. Another method [they use] is to hold Israel responsible for any apparent increase in anti-Semitism, whether in the West or the Middle East. In other words, Israel is to blame, not the anti-Semites themselves.”
“There is a bitter irony here. Both liberals and leftists like to proclaim their commitment to universal human rights.”
Robert Wistrich warns that anti-Semitism will grow as long as West ignores Islamists.

So this author distinguishes between far left antisemitism and liberal antisemitism. His claim is that both groups (along with far-right anti-semitism) contain anti-semitism sentiments among individuals who self-label as leftists and liberals.
Yet the following take by Andres Spokoiny, president and CEO of the Jewish Funders Network, is that there are 3 major “branches” of anti-semitism: far left ideology, far right ideology, and Islam Fundamentalism.

So maybe a lot less antisemitism among liberals compared to other top three elements?
