Judaism is most certainly a faith tradition, and the roots of anti-semitism are absolutely related to faith; Christian v. Jewish. In fact, traditionally, it’s always been the Christians vs. everyone else in the Abrahamic tradition. The entire argument of Zionism is that God promised the Jews the land of Israel. Being Jewish is not a racial characteristic; the Jewish diaspora is some 3000 years in the making - it would be like claiming there is a Roman race of people.

Two things:
No one is calling these protestors "right wing" - in fact, conservatives in America are more likely to support Israel than are liberals.
Anti-semitism is not solely about religious practice - if it were, a lot of Jews could have avoided Auschwitz by eating a bacon-cheeseburger!

Interesting assertions. Many scholars would disagree with you.
Have you ever heard of the Mischling Test?
Anyway, have a nice day!
