The article states, “It’s true that this is not the anti-Semitism of the 1930s, which came from the right and was rooted in longstanding Christian views that demonized the Jews.”

Is that true? Your comments are appreciated.

Nazi anti-semitism was not rooted in Christian views. It was more due to an intense nationalism that saw Jews as not being "true Germans", but rather, interlopers from other parts of the world. They were also contemptuous of Slavic peoples.

More the intense hatred he placed upon the Jewish people for fomenting (fermenting? :-) communism and for the ruin of the German economy in the great inflation. The former was partially correct, in that the communist ideology was incubated among Reform Jewish rabbis, yet there is a fallacy in assigning responsibility for that to all Jews in that the Orthodox regarded Reform and communism with it as aberrant.
